Re: Play audio CD�s via USB on the Touch...

2009-11-18 Thread Hamnberj

Haha... that's true! 

Wouldn't it be easier to simply rip the remaining couple of hundred
CD's - from what I've read it would seem we've got a least a month or
longer before the Touch is released! 

Probably what I'll do!

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Will we ever see an in-car version of the Touch?

 doubt that, there's a plethora of accessories to facilitate the usage
of an iPod Touch/iPhone in car.

I'm currently using this:

with this result:[image: http://i48.tinypic.com/2edpmgw.jpg]

It's all kept in place by Blu Tac and velcro for cable management
(thankfully my car's carpeting is velcro friendly). I can play/pause,
change track, shuffle, unshuffle and turn backlighting on and off from
that removable remote on the steering wheel.

But playlists management is crazy. You can't decide I want to listen
to this song after this one, unless you always start playback with an
on-the-go playlist and even in that case the management is foggy at best
(maybe it's just me, I don't know... never had a problem understanding
on the fly playlists with Rio Karma, Rockbox or Squeezebox).

And the font size is downright ridiculous. Light gray small text on a
dark grey background. Ha!

 Instant gratification takes too long.

After I read through post after post of whining and assertions of
entitlements, your title made my day. Thanks.

[SlimDevices: Touch] Transcoding with Touch internal SB Server ??

2009-11-18 Thread michaelday

I understand the new Touch will be able run in standalone mode –
directly accessing a music library on a USB drive via TinySC, and then
act as SB Server for other Squeezebox players in the network.  Will the
SB Server within Touch be able to perform transcoding for the other
Squeezebox players?  I’ve seen another thread implying that the sbs in
Touch won’t perform transcoding.  Ouch!  This can be a real limitation! 
Can / will the ability to perform transcoding be added sometime later to
sbs in the Touch, as part of a firmware update?

I’d like to get the new Touch (for all it can do) especially this new
capability to run it in standalone mode -  no longer needing to have a
PC always running, to have sbs - while the Touch provides the sbs music
library access for other Squeezebox players.
I’ve already got a couple SB3s, and my LARGE music library is already
all ripped w iTunes in the AppleLossless format ( because I also have
iPods ).  With my AppleLossless formatted music - I’ll need transcoding
to be able to play my other SB3s, if I want to have a new Touch that’s
running standalone attached to the USB drive music library.

Help !

Thanks!
Mike
