[SlimDevices: Touch] Short audio gap 10 seconds before end of song

2010-05-24 Thread sbellon

Hi all,

I'm very much enjoying my Touch for a few weeks now. First I was using
the TinySC because the Touch (together with the amp and the speakers)
were the first things in the new flat. ;-) Since my server and wifi
have arrived, I'm using the Touch as pure player.

My impressions so far are very satisfied. Like a well-known German
audio magazine reviewed recently: The only drawback of the Squeezbox
Touch is, that it will result in further Squeezebox purchases. ;-)
Right, just that for me the Boom was the starter.

Of course there are minor wishes here and there, but nothing serious
and nothing which cannot be solved by plugins. Well, two open issues
for me: Syncing with my Boom sometimes works and sometimes does not, I
have yet to find out the pattern.

The second thing, which I'm seeking for input with this posting right
now, is the fact that I get a very short but audible gap in playback
exactly 10 seconds before the end of a song if another song is in the
queue. This happens with the Touch's TinySC and with the Touch as pure
player.

I tracked it down to the fade in, fade out setting. If I set it to
off, then this gap does not occur. My library consists of mostly Ogg
Vorbis (old ripped files), a few MP3 (mostly Amazon purchases) and FLAC
(recent rips). I have not yet found a pattern (whether it only happens
fading from one type to another or only within the same type, etc.).

What is clear however, are the facts that it occurs in fade in, fade
out mode only, affects the Touch (not the Boom), and it happens using
the Touch with its TinySC and as pure player.

Any ideas?

 I'm not having problems with my 320g FAT32 (220g of FLAC), however, I
 would move to NTFS if I could mount and write to the volume if Finder
 connected to the server

I am not familiar enough with Mac to tell you exactly how do to.
I am positive that there is no problem to read NTFS.
I know some software allow you to write NTFS, but could not tell you
which is the best (I think I've heard that last version of Mac OS write
NTFS natively, but I am not 100% positive about that).

I don't know how #8984;K works.

Certainly Mac users will be much more helpfull than me.

One thing I am sure about, you should forget FAT32 given your disk size
and library size.

There are many more options but those many other USB drives have not
yet been used with Touch or have not yet been reported to work on that
Wiki page.

2010-05-24 Thread sbellon

Short addition: There is no gap if the next song in the queue is the
next one on the same album. Most likely because then no fade out, fade
in takes place anyway.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Short audio gap 10 seconds before end of song

2010-05-24 Thread slackhead

I get the same issue with audio cutting out close to the end of a track.
I tend to use the smart crossfade setting and do not have a problem
with tracks that do not crossfade.

Is this a known bug?

Does the problem occur on any of the other crossfade options, or only on
Fade in and out?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch + USB without library would solve many pains (!)

Hello !

You are able to write on NTFS if you install :
1) MacFuse : http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/ 
2) NTFS-3G :
http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/2010/01/ntfs-3g-for-mac-os-x-2010116.html

But you can write also directly from your mac if the SBT USB drive is
on line (goto connect to server and type in : smb://192.168.0.7 and
select sda1).

While I would prefer HFS+, but Logitech does not support it. I would
use NTFS, but (as of OS X 10.6.3) Mac OS CANNOT write NTFS natively
(there is a hack but it has been reported as unstable) and I see reason
to use 3rd party software to achieve it while FAT32 is working.

FAT32 may not be the most efficient, but there is no reason to 'forget
it'.  Fragmentation is not an issue as my FLAC files are not re-written
to the disk, and I do not have any 4g FLAC files.
