Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Announce: Enhanced Digital Output app - USB Dac and 192k Digital Ouput
Thanks for the suggestions, it gives me some more things to look at and try. Not having the best health today, so it may be a bit before I'm up to running thru more troubleshooting, but I will update when once I've tried to pin it down more. I had thought it might be the USB drive or bottleneck with the laptop (it's a full powered 64bit laptop, not a barebones underpowered machine) but then why would it bottleneck with one set of 192 files but not another. I did pull over a back up of one of the tracks just to see if the one on the USB drive had gotten corrupted, but had the same issue with the backup file, so I don't believe the file has been corrupted just sitting on a rarely plugged in drive. Probably wouldn't be driving me so nuts if it hadn't been working a week or two ago without issue, you know. Thanks and hopefully I'll be feeling better in a day or two and can run down more testing.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Announce: Enhanced Digital Output app - USB Dac and 192k Digital Ouput
What's even weirder, my Jackson Browne Running On Empty DVD-A rip at 24/192 will play fine, but Eagles Hotel California won't. Nothing has changed with the files since I ripped them a couple of weeks ago, and everything played perfectly then. Unfortunately those are the only 2 I have at 192 at the moment to test, but I don't get why one would play and the other would not. Ok doing a bit more testing..Hotel California will play fine as a FLAC on the C drive, but will not play right from the USB external hard drive that my music is on. Now I still had issues with the ALAC version on the C drive, but the FLAC was ok. The Jackson Browne played fine from the USB hard drive in ALAC, so there is something going on with the Eagles and ALAC and/or USB, but there is no consistency on the issue between the 2 192 files, since 1 works one way and the other doesn't. Weird, if it were an ALAC problem, I'd expect neither to play right, if it was USB bogging down, again neither should play.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Announce: Enhanced Digital Output app - USB Dac and 192k Digital Ouput
So can EDO just become corrupted for lack of a better word, over time? I installed a couple of weeks or so ago when I updated to 7.9. Everything was working perfect the couple of 24/192 albums I had would play beautifully thru my Touch and Marantz receiver over coax. Then I go to play one of the albums last night and it starts dropping out and almost what seemed like it just couldn't hold the stream or something with 192 files, 96/24 and redbook play fine. It would have the issues at different points of the same song, so it's not the file that is bad. For example Hotel California, it could be during the second verse when it will break up, but if I play it again, maybe it starts at the beginning, not predictable about it. I've not changed anything, in fact I have avoided updating the nightlies just because everything was working so well. So should I uninstall EDO and reinstall or something more drastic like restore factory settings and start again? And since I've never had to restore to factory settings before, will I have to set everything up like I like it again or will the prefs be remembered by the server and it not be a big deal? I know such a newb question, but I've been lucky that my set up has just been solid without too many issues, so it's something new for me.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Custom Wallpapers for Touch
Cool designs, I really like the disco ball and the spectrum. But as you can see by mine I tend to go for flashier designs. I finally figured out how to make changes to the Now Playing Alternate screen with Custom Clock helper and made a nice layout that works for me and is a bit more readable than he white text of the default Touch Now Playing. For the longest time Custom Clock really intimidated me, just not having a clue what all the boxes might do. I had gotten the SDT clock the way I liked it and didn't explore much more. But finally I decided to give it a whirl and after a bunch of trial and error almost kinda get the most basics of it. Still many things I don't understand, but I'm happier now that I've adjusted a few things that were just bugging me. Many thanks Erland, it is one hell of a plug-in. With the combination of custom wallpaper and Custom Clock helper, it really makes it your own.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] How customizeable is the Touch?
Yeah, SuperDateTime is one of my favorite things to have with the Touch, and it feels weird when it is down or not working right. Also as long as you have the size exactly correct, you can also add Custom Wallpaper to the Touch. I have several Iron Maiden and others that I resized down to 480x272 to fit the Touch's screen. And yes it has to be exactly 480x272 to work, it won't resize on it's own, which sometimes takes a bit of work to get things just right. Then also using Erland's custom clock plugin I've changed the colors for the Time and Weather info with the SDT screensaver so that it's a bit easier to see with certain wallpapers.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Paying iTunes to have DRM removed?
Go into Preferences, down towards the bottom of the first page there is a button for Import Settings, press that button.

Go to the songs that are Apple Protected and select those songs (you can select the one at the top, scroll down to the last one and hit the Shift Key before you select with the mouse, to include them all). Then Right Click with the mouse, and go to the selection Change Selected Files to Apple Lossless, and then wait for them all to convert and delete the old files. You know now that I've been thinking about it, there may have been some that wouldn't let me convert and I did have to make a playlist and burn it to a cd, then rip that cd as Apple Lossless so as not to lose more quality reconverting it to a lossy file for the second time.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Why would the same music Library have different Album Counts........
It depends on what criteria is used to get the totals. For example in iTunes, an album called Greatest Hits will be counted once, no mater how many different artists there are, they all get counted as the same album. Now I've noticed that in LMS it actually knows that The Beach Boys - Greatest Hits is a different album compared to Queen - Greatest Hits. That's one thing that has irked me about the way iTunes gives totals, if it's the same name, then it's 1 album. Which is why I've just gotten to the point that I actually use the Artist name: Greatest Hits or Artist name: Live in the album title to keep titles from being merged in iTunes. But then there are regular albums with the same name, like No Way Out or something like that, and they still get merged, so the album count still isn't the same. So that's one reason why every music manager may have a slightly different count. I just go with the total track count to make sure everything is in both libraries. rayman1701's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41326 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95400 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I don't know if this is still the case, but when I first got my Touch and tried to use the USB one thing you had to do was, leave it totally alone possibly overnight to let it totally finish the scan. Yes it can take a few hours for it to actually finish, and during that time you don't want to do anything on the Touch, no listening to music, or mucking about, just let it sit. I bet this is especially true of WAV files, since it has to guess tags to fill in the database.

To be honest I don't use the touch screen very often, I just find it handier to use the IR remote. However, I just tried and you can just hold on the back arrow on the screen and it goes right to the home screen. As for turning it on off, since it doesn't really use that much different power from on to off, and it doesn't really power down, I never turn it off. You could just set up the when stopped screensaver to be the same as the off one, then you'd just have to touch the screen and do a long hold to get to home. You can also move items up and down the list on the home screen by holding the item you'd like to move up/down until the context menu comes up, then choose move up or move down, then you could move the Favorites closer to the top, to eliminate the need to scroll.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Lots of help needed!
Or you could just embed the iTunes artwork into the files. For Windows do the following: Go to an album, on the first song with the artwork viewer window, right click, copy. Then highlight all tracks on the album, then Get Info(right click is again the fastest), then paste the artwork into the artwork box and press enter. And the artwork will be embedded with the files and go with them, not just in the separate iTunes artwork folder. Apple OS will be slightly different, but the same principal. Just different ways to copy and get info. -- rayman1701 rayman1701's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41326 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94273 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] USB External Hard Drive Library for Touch

My plan was to have those albuns in a 64GB SD card or USB flash drive on the SBT, and the rest of my collection placed on a NAS or external USB hard disk.

Is it possible to have LMS running at the same time from USB and SD (to have the music from both media available at the same time)? Thanks. 1. It doesn't really matter that much between SD or USB 2. NO It will always be a bit clunky running Tiny LMS on the Touch. I'm pretty sure that every time you switch over to it, it will need to do a complete rescan of the SD/USB, which will take time and not allow you to listen while it is scanning. Plus you lose most if not all plugin capability, and no WEB UI, and I'm not sure but would assume that probably means control plugins like iPeng. What you want to do as far as segregating the favorite albums you might be able to do with Erland's Custom Browse plugin, which could give you that view without the penalty of the limitations of Tiny LMS, which can still be a bit buggy and picky about SD/USB cards drives.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Issue with Library
A dedicated server won't necessarily do anything for the sound quality per se, but with the Touch not having to strain it's small internal processor and it's even smaller onboard memory, things will run much better. When I got my Touch a couple of years ago it only took me a few hours before I decided to ditch the Touch's onboard server for a computer. With a library of over 58,000 tracks (most ALAC), the Touch just couldn't handle it. Plus I discovered a few plugins that are really helpful that I couldn't use with the Touch's internal server. So while the files themselves won't sound different, without the quirks of the Touch's internal server, it may feel like they are better.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Removing track from saved playlists
Yeah, I was thinking that it might be some kind of surge when the power comes back up, or that it comes up slow like a brown in for lack of a better term. The few times I've had it happen was during storms or times when it goes out, comes back up, then goes right back out. Then when it finally comes back on for good the Touch doesn't start. ComEd out here in the South Suburbs of Chicago, has given me fits ever since we moved up here, seems like when there are power issues, it's never just out for a while and back on, there are always stutter steps in between, and there doesn't need to be a storm in the area for it to happen. So that's why to at least, it does seem like it's either a surge or a trickle, that may cause the issue. I've had it maybe 2 times, but no more than 3, and I've had way more power outages than that since I've had my Touch, unfortunately. So that's why I suggest if you are getting power outages once a day or so, then just unplug the Touch until the power comes back on, then plug the Touch in and that should help make sure it doesn't get hit with a spike or even a trickle which also might be bad. -- rayman1701 rayman1701's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41326 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92505 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Dont want my audiobooks
Yeah, if you wanna keep the let iTunes keep your files organized checked, it may be that you have to move the audiobooks to the other directory manually when you get new ones. And even if you uncheck it, since that is the only folder you want elsewhere, it may still put them in the same place as your music files anyway. I don't know of a way to tell it to put certain files in one area and others in another with iTunes. Now if you really didn't want your audiobooks mixed in with the music and didn't mind a little extra step to keep them segregated, you could create a new iTunes library just for the audiobooks and have only audiobooks in that one and music in the other one. I've got 3 different iTunes libraries that I use, 1 for my LMS music that is mostly Apple Lossless and whatever other lossy files that I don't have in lossless, 1 with my iPod AAC library and the 3rd is for special ripping or editing projects. It's easy to create or switch, just hold the Shift key while you click the iTunes icon to start iTunes, and that brings up the Create or Switch library dialog. -- rayman1701 rayman1701's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41326 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92443 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

And you can add either songs or albums the same way, just highlight selection press + and choose play next, or even add to end if that's the way you want to go. I know there is iPeng and the web page, but where my Touch is, it's just easier for me to use the Touch's remote, plus I don't own a smart phone or iPod Touch to even use iPeng. And maybe it's just how it's placed or that I haven't used it that much, but using the Touch's screen usually is where I make mistakes.

Depending on what you mean with random. Do you just hit play and then the random or shuffle button, or do you select the random play thru the menu with song selected? The reason it might be different, if you just hit play it will try to add all songs to the playlist on SBS and depending on what you have the playlist limit size that's how many songs will actually be shuffled. And I could see that causing stuff to repeat more often. I usually have all but Christmas and Spoken Comedy genres selected, and I listen to random constantly and don't have songs come up 2 nights in a row, at least not that I can remember. I've had my Touch for a little over a year and a half and have 54,500 songs, running full SBS on a laptop. Also if you're using TinySC on the Touch, that has an even lower playlist size limit and I could see that not doing as well at random. -- rayman1701 rayman1701's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41326 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91009 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Tagging questions (maybe?)
Yeah, just selecting random while during the current playlist will just shuffle what you've currently got in the playlist, like the previously played stuff. On the Touch, go to My Music- then scroll down to Random Mix- then you can select Song Mix, Album Mix, ect. and you can go down to Choose Genre, to choose which Genres are played in a full random mix, All is default. And it will show up to 21 songs in the playlist, the 10 previous and the 10 next tracks upcoming, at least on the Touch's display I don't know about the web interface since I never use it. -- rayman1701 rayman1701's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41326 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90250 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Can't get USB-device to work
The Touch can be fickle about USB powered drives, externals with their own power seem to do better. Also you will need to wait until the Touch has finished running it's scan, and that could take a couple of hours depending on how many files you have on the drive. Also won't play the older iTunes files with DRM, just in case you have any of those. -- rayman1701 rayman1701's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41326 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89158 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Running 2 SB Servers with a SB Touch
Everything Phil said plus if you are doing because you don't wanna keep the laptop on all the time, then WOL works wonderfully for that. I had no idea what exactly Wake On Lan was when I set mine up a while back, but I found it fairly easy to get going and it works perfectly on my Win 7 laptop that I got especially to use as a server. It actually took me all of about 4 hours before I ditched the Touch's USB for a full server, and I haven't looked back since. Now I have used it occasionally when I've gotten something temporary on a stick, but not for any serious amount of time.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Running 2 SB Servers with a SB Touch
Yeah, I just looked around in Windows 7 until I figured it out. I went into the power management advanced settings to enable WOL. Of course I have mine set up wired, so it may be slightly different for wireless. I also didn't have luck with it going into hibernation mode, it worked better for me with sleep mode. Not sure how much more power one uses vs. the other, but that's what I've got working for me. You just set it to go to sleep after xx amount of time of inactivity and that's it. The Touch will wake it up if you push the home button on the remote or try to play something, it takes a couple of minutes to get going, and I had to tweak the time out a couple of times to be more useful for me. I'm sure there are others that may have a better understanding of the whole process that can help, but for me not really knowing much about it, it didn't take long to get working. -- rayman1701 rayman1701's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41326 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88871 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

iTunes puts the art that it downloads automatically into it's own database, so Squeezebox doesn't see it. The easiest way to add the files to the tracks is to go down the album list in iTunes and embed the art. Go to first Album, then the first track of the first album. Copy the art in the artwork viewer, then select all songs from that album and right click, get info, then paste the art into the album art area, then hit enter, then enter again and it will embed the art into all the files for that album. Then repeat those steps for all other albums.

To embed art in iTunes is easy. First thing is to NOT let iTunes download automatically. Otherwise go to the album you want to embed art for and do the following: Easiest is to select all songs from album, then right click and Get Info, yes, and then paste the art into the artwork window and press enter and yes. I do that with everything and have never had an issue with art on my Touch. Now if you have only 1 song from an album just get info and go to the artwork tab and paste the art there and it will be imbedded.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Apple Lossless 24/96 on Touch?

Therefore, the NAS was not involved at all. Is that not so? At this point, I have to believe the issue is with the trancoding of 24/96. The 24/96 ALAC file plays fine through Foobar and other players but not Touch. So, there is nothing wrong with the file. The 24/96 FLAC file plays fine on all sources. A 16/44 ALAC file plays fine on all sources. Is there a setting somewhere I am missing? Everything is on default. I can always insert my Benchmark DAC1 in the middle but I'd really like to mimize the components where this system is set up. Frustrating given I bought the Touch purely for the hi-res capability. I already have a Radio and SB3 which have been great. Thanks for all the comments. I've never messed with any of the transcoding settings and everything is on default for me as well. So I don't think you're missing anything. When you said that the FLACS play on all sources, that includes the Touch right? If so, maybe you should just use the FLAC files. I know how the keep everything consistant desire comes in, I have it too, but for now at least you could listen to them.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Apple Lossless 24/96 on Touch?
AFAIK it should decode up to 96/24, anything higher would definately need to be transcoded. I've played 96/24 ALAC files from a USB drive attached to the Touch, so unless something new has happened since I did that, it should work. I could try it again if you wanted me to check. Just as a clarification, when you did the FLACWAVALAC, did you use iTunes to convert the WAV to ALAC? Not that it should make any difference, but I had downloaded some Tom Petty files in ALAC (from his store) and something was really wonky with the tags and caused me all kinds of headaches with SBS until I converted to WAV and reconverted with my iTunes. Otherwise, I don't understand what is causing your issue. Maybe it is a new bug with that firmware with your NAS, it doesn't make any sense. -- rayman1701 rayman1701's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41326 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86182 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Apple Lossless 24/96 on Touch?
Unfortunately I don't know of any that sells 96/24 ALAC. The Tom Petty Mojo ones I bought were 16/44.1, which for some reason wouldn't play in SBS even though it worked in iTunes/iPod ect. so that's when I did the ALACWAVALAC conversion thru iTunes and it cleared up ( I also got the 96/24 FLACS which I converted to ALAC and they play without issue). Otherwise, since I don't have Foobar or dbPoweramp, I convert any FLACs (whatever resolution) I get into WAV's thru Media Monkey then convert to ALAC in iTunes.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Apple Lossless 24/96 on Touch?
OK, I did some experimenting and found the following: 1) 96/24 ALAC on USB Stick connected directly to the Touch - Digital Screech and then silence. In fact it overloaded my receiver and the protection kicked in and I paniced and reset my Touch to factory in my attempts to get some/any music to play. After I finally figured out what happened and it was working correctly again, most of the listening was thru the headphone out, so I wouldn't accidently blow my amp. 2) 16/44.1 ALAC on USB Stick connected directly to Touch - Plays Perfectly! 3) 24/48 ALAC on USB Stick (some of my needledrops) direct to Touch - Digital Static and nothing just like the 96/24 files. 4) ALL of the same files play perfectly thru either the Touch's digital or analog or headphone jacks when using the full SBS on my Windows 7 laptop server. So in conclusion, the Touch doesn't like anything above 16/44.1 with ALAC at least with the firmware that I currently have (7.5.3-r31792 as noted earlier). I had tried it when I first got the Touch and had a couple of issues with it skipping every once in awhile with the 96/24 tracks although at the time I thought it was because of having a 2tb hard drive attached to the Touch with around 50,000 tracks as just being too much for the Touch's internal server to handle. So I installed on my desktop, then got a laptop to be primarily a server. So it is not an isolated problem that only you have. Which may either be good or bad news, depending on how you look at it :) But it would seem like your NAS is not transcoding the ALAC properly which is why you may be having the issue.

What do you mean? When I think of organizing music files, I think of the actual folder structure like, Music-Artist-Album-Songs. But what I think you mean is how do you figure out or find what to listen to. I either go to New Music or Artists and either add a song or album. I also make playlists which is nice to have for some favorites. Or sometimes I just do a shuffle of all my music or just a specific genre. To me it's not much different than figuring out what cd or vinyl to listen to, except I don't have to stop the music to switch to another album. Of course this all works when you have all the tags the way you want them and using SBS database.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Apple Lossless 24/96 on Touch?
The way I usually do it, and I know I could do it other ways but this is what works for me, is I convert the FLAC's to WAV files then use iTunes to convert to ALAC. I've had some wierd tag issues from sites that I've bought tracks from be it 96/24, 16/44.1, or MP3. Some places just do weird things to tags that mess with SBS, so that's how I work around that issue (if it's an MP3 i just use MP3 Tag), but I'm not sure if this feels like a tagging problem or not. I don't know if Foobar would do any different compression level than iTunes would, I know FLACs have varying compression levels but I'm not sure if that's true for ALAC or not. Try the original FLACs with the Touch to see if they are playable, and if they are I'd just leave it that way and use the converted ALAC ones in iTunes. I know it's a pain to have duplicates, but sometimes you just gotta do it. One other thing, you could try the ALAC files on a USB stick to see if the Touch will play them ok, then it could be a NAS issue, maybe.

Or with the Touch remote hold the + key and the more options menu will come up and you can do the same thing. Of course if you want to continue with the songs you are currently listening to, the add to end will work too.

Then unless you are listening to the Touch thru the computer speakers there is absolutely no need to have it hooked up with the optical or coax. That just seems to complicate things a bit.

I know everyone use things a little differently, and whatever works for you is fine as far as hooking the audio outs, but usually the simplest works the best. There are others that are better with the whole anti-virus stopping the scan error, but you need to make sure that ALL Squeezebox entries has permissions set to on with the Norton. Hopefully someone with a little more programming chops can explain that to you a little better. But having both the computer hooked up to a firewire jack on the hard drive and the Touch hooked up to the usb jack on the SAME hard drive is just asking for troubles!
