'MusicPal'
is an awesome idea.
...and it's looking surprisingly cool. Much better than Noxon and the
likes.
I'd love a WiFi Boombox that talks to the Slimserver as a fully
functional client, sounds good enough to use on the deck and can run
off the mains or (rechargable) batteries.
I had trouble connecting my squeezebox to squeezenetwork a day or two
ago.
There was a menu option then to view Current Settings Firmware. The
firmware was 81 or something like that. Then I press the right arrow
and saw a funny message like this:

If they are v. short track (probably less then 1 min for flac) then it

As I understand it, the issue was that SB cannot hold more than 2 track
regardless of memory usage but I think Slimserver tries to push as many
as possible.
Memory is usually the limiting factor but with small size tracks the 2

How can Search and/or LazySearch on a SqueezeBox be used, to find vowel
mutations or other special signs? Wildcards would probably be an
opportunity, but what are the dummies and how can they be entered by
remote control?
Any hint is welcome :-)

For western accented characters like german umlauts or french accents,
just use the base vowel. Eg. Bjork should also find Björk.
I'm not sure how LazySearch is handling this, though.
Lazy Search should do the same thing - they're mapped to unaccented
versions for the purposes of searching. Bjork was always my test
example too, so I would hope at least that one worked!

I am going to be using my Sqeezebox almost exclusively my Rhapsody. I
see that the Squeezebox has a 24-bit DAC and that the digital output
can also provide 24 bits, but does the data coming from Rhapsody (via
SqeezeNetwork) have a higher sampling rate than the 48Khz max that the
digital output
Rhapsody is 44.1 kHz, but you will hear the effects of the lossy bitrate
Rhapsody uses (128 kbps? 192?) long before you will hear the effect of

For Lazy Search they're ignored so to search for the title:

I know that this is a much debated topic - but I am setting up a SB
in a bedroom (about 20 ft x 20 ft with 15 sloping ceiling) and am

I'm still keen on the idea of an all-in-one cheap solution for the deck,
garage, kids room. Dedicating a laptop and sound sticks etc isn't the
most portable / wirefree solution. It would work but it's not much
easier than moving the existing SB3/Z4s
I don't need audiophile... I do need easy!
A pair of BW DM303's will run you $300 for the pair, and they're pretty
small/inobtrusive--about 13 tall. They poop out at the low end at just
over 100Hz (can be fixed with a sub), but other than that they sound
pretty good in a small room, especially for their price.
