Just thought I'd help out a fellow. This guy bought the infrant bundle that came with 2 SB3s and he already had one, so he's got more than he needs now and would like to sell one (unused except to test for DOA). http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140007792662&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:

Yes it is easy to set up in itunes: smartplaylist: 1. Genre contains "pop" [stops classical and ambient etc] 2. Yr is in the range 1980-1989 [limits to decade] 3. Rating does not = 0 [weeds out rubbish] 4. Kind contains MPEG [limits to mp3 not videos etc] Result = 80s pop fest! -- ajmitchell

Here's what I use (though I rarely play m4a or aac files), but it does work for me. You will need to have mplayer installed for it to work, though. Put these lines in your "slimserver-convert.conf" file: Code: mov mp3 * * [mplayer] -novideo -ao pcm:file=/dev/fd/

I've run into this problem resently as well when starting squeezeslave from the init scripts. Turns out, in my case anyway, that the read keypress loop "spins", due to not having a "true" pty to read from. Try redirecting stdin and stdout to an unused pty. I've also redirected stderr to the pty

I'll second this as a brilliant idea. The only way i can think of is to fudge it so all your 80's songs have the same year, say 1980. A bit long winded but would provide the desired result. How about putting a year under the Composer tag or something. can be play by composer?? haven't looked.
