Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] 'connection refused' by squeeze server
Problem Solved. It occured to be related to my Svaesoft Alchemy v1.0 router software on my Linksys WRT54Gv2. I first tried to do some extra portforwarding and hassling with iptables but nothing worked. Then I flashed the damn thing with Tomato v1.28 and the thing wasn't damned anymore!

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] SBT with USB Hard Drive
You could also try using FAT32 instead of NTFS, FAT seems to be more Touch friendly. Tags, file consistency, and file organization are important for any database program. The less capable/powerful the database (TinySBS) the more important these factors become. If you owned three different business' and each had their own filing and organization setup plus ran on three different computer programs you would also crash at tax time. ;) Tagging programs like MP3Tag can batch convert all ID3 tag versions into a single consistent ID3 version. Eventually you will want such consistency anyway irregardless of SqueezeBox and SBS server, you may as well start now. :) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88143 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Odd SBS question
I have an older PC that I purchased to use for multi-track audio production about 5-6 years ago. It's never been networked and I disabled as many unnecessary services on it as possible to make it run better while recording or playing back multiple large audio files and running multiple plug-ins, etc. I thought it would be easier for me to just connect the SBT directly to it via ethernet since at this point I am only looking to add the one player and wi-fi or multi-room capability isn't necessary for me (small house). -- grusch grusch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=46936 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87914 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

To me it would seem more complex to run an ethernet back to my router and then a second cable to the SBT when I could run one line directly to the SBT. I am planning on using the SBT to play my own library, I hadn't considered using it for internet radio and probably won't. -- grusch grusch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=46936 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87914 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Odd SBS question
Or, make one of the devices (PC or Touch) wireless, running ethernet to the device more easily accessible via ethernet. For dedicated wired PC to Touch you can use ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) which essentially turns your PC's network card into a router. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87914 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] SBT with USB Hard Drive
boy, what a mess. it should be really simple. I have my music folder structured like this, 2 main folders, FLAC and MP3: FLAC\ Classical\ 1. CD Title\songtracks 2. 3. Greatest Hits\ 1. 2. 3. MP3\ Singer or CD Album\title and so on. like previous posts mentioned, search by folders not tags. I will try it on the SBT later this week using the my music folder, I could have sworn it was empty when I went there. for the tags part, this area I'm unclear on. I'm using EAC to rip the CD's for FLAC. I click the GET CD info and it brings in the titles. I do the detect gap and then rip the cd to music folder. for the tagging part, I'm not sure if the EAC is getting the tag information. I'm assuming the music CD does not have any tag info on it. I have no problems redoing the hard drive but if I'm going to spend time to re do it, I want to do it right. The SBT is not cheap, it should at least do what the WD does. btw, is there any plugin or some way to tell what format is playing? FLAC,WAVE,MP3 and sampling rate? -- Lynxo Lynxo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=47307 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88143 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
