When you manually add artwork to one of your music folders, the only way the Touch will see new artwork is to do a complete SBS clear and rescan. The rescan changed items will not, for time being, pick up artwork changes. 2. When you rip a new disk, I believe the VBA software forces the SBS to do a complete clear and rescan. That's why your new music AND artwork show up when you rip a new disk without having to do the manual clear and rescan. 3. As far as I know, FLAC is FLAC no matter which software you use to produce it. There are different compression levels (I believe the VBA is set to use the default, normal 5 but otherwise, everything else being equal, ripping to FLAC on the VBA is exactly the same as ripping to FLAC using DBpoweramp or EAC.

Phil Leigh;599380 Wrote: FLAC is indeed FLAC (in most cases) but all ripping programs are NOT the same! DBP and EAC produce the best quality rips possible. I don't know about VBA... Agree. The issue is generally whether the rip is bit perfect. Thus the usefulness of accuraterip, repeating the rip automatically and comparing the the two results, etc. This said, even a ripper that is not particularly secure (e.g., Itunes) will do just fine on the vast majority of rips. The problem is that one would like to know more about the quality of the rip AT THE TIME THE RIP IS DONE. And do keep in mind that just because a disk is brand new, never played, with no visible scratches, it might still not rip without errors. For all these reasons, rippers are not created equal, even though they create the same type files (e.g., FLAC). EAC and dbap are two rippers that provide feedback and detail on the quality of a rip, have the ability to use different secure methods, and (for me) the most useful function is the ability to compare to a large database of other users' rips (accuraterip). -- garym garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83244 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Any difference in sound ethernet vs wireless?
Agree with others -- you are sending a fixed stream over a data connection. As long as you aren't getting rebuffering where the stream stops and has to catch up, it should be the same quality. Also, it's not using UDP so dropping packets to keep things moving isn't an option. When I first setup my Squeezeboxes, I was having problems with Wi-Fi but would also have periodic problems with my notebook, too. Upgrading to a better router fixed this. I can't remember having a Wi-Fi problem since I got a better router (D-Link DIR-825 rev A, FYI). It also had better range. When I had problems, these weren't quality problems. The stream would just stop because the wireless connection would get reset or the router would reboot itself. When it was playing, it was fine. -- mbg mbg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3200 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84414 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] New to Touch: less configurable from Web UI?
That's the way it is. The Touch, Radio, and Controller are all a big shift away from the earlier slim clients (aka slim devices) such as the SB3/Classic, Boom, Receiver, and even Transporter. The newer products have more memory, more capable processors, and a more capable OS. Thus more of the settings can be set and stored on the devices themselves, instead of on the server. I believe there are open enhancement requests for making the settings available on SBS as well, but I think Logitech has decided that isn't going to happen, so things are likely to continue as they are now. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84465 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
[SlimDevices: Touch] Library browser and tag viewer
Hi all, first of all sorry if I'm posting in the wrong forum :-) I'm a Sonos user and I'm thinking of buying a squeezebox touch to enjoy hi-res music. I listen only to classical music, and my library is tagged with a lot of information about composer, opus number, work, movement etc etc. On my NAS music is stored using this structure: composer/op. number-work/artist - year/movement ie: Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus/K. 219 - Violin Concerto No. 5 in A major/Andrew Manze - 2006/2. Adagio I obviously store information about the Album, so I'm able to browse the filesystem, looking for a specific work, or listen to a whole album. Most of the information I have tagged (performer, publisher, orchestra, conductor...) can not be viewed on the Sonos controller (I have built a small web app to do so). Now, my question is: will I be able to do something similar with a Squeezebox Touch? Is there any plugin to browse the library by tag, in order to recreate the same structure? Alternatively, will I be able to browse the library by folder? Will I be able to see the cover art? Also, any chance to display additional tag information on my iphone using ipeng?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch often goes silent when sync'd
I have the same problem. I have a Touch with an external SBS running on Linux. For me, the Touch will finish a track and then jump back to about the one-third played location on that track. Visually, the track keeps playing. Volume is at 90, but there is no sound produced out the analog output. If I hit the double arrow next button, the next track might start playing and the silence might be broken. If power the Touch off, and start it again then the sound might return. If hard-power-cycle the Touch, the sound does return, but it will go silent again after a few tracks. Very frustrating. I have had this Touch and my SBS running great for almost a year. I have 97% MP3s and 3% FLACs. The silence happens on both MP3s and FLACs.
