Re: [slim] Possible to convert your favourites list to a playlist?

2012-06-11 Thread sherington
Hi, I had this issue & since Winamp is one of the players I use from time to time, I searched on the Winamp site for a plugin - they have something that allows you to create a playlist, as normal, and then export that as a saved m3u file to any "external" player. The plugin creates a "file" item

[slim] Cheapest option for hardware to run iPeng?

2012-06-11 Thread mobileadam
Hi, We have iPeng on a couple of iPhones around the house but as our squeezebox environment grows I'm looking for something dedicated in one part of the house that can ideally run iPeng but not at too great a cost. I have just ordered a new battery for my controller (3rd one) and that will cover

What you're probably looking for is an "iPod touch" (Apple and their fuNky captiLization...), sometimes called an iTouch. To keep costs down, look for a refurbished one at Apple.com or elsewhere. I can highly recommend the 3rd Generation iPod touch. If you're mostly using it for remote control of

Try pressing & holding the BACK (left) arrow, this will put the SB3 in Setup mode. Scroll to Network Setup, select Wireless. If it isn't offering Wireless as an option then possibly it's WiFi board is fried or disconnected. --

I can only agree with aubuti. iPod Touch 3G is perfectly fine. BUT: you have to be careful, there are no 3rg Generation models with 8 GB, I believe, they only come in 32 an 64 GB variants, 8GB is only for 2nd and 4th Gen. I do NOT recommend the 2ng Gen Models anymore. They work but are slower and

We just got my daughter a current generation 8GB iPod Touch (4th gen I believe) for $170 from Amazon. I'm shocked at how the price has come down. This was even less expensive than a refurb of the same model from Apple. Local stores in our area have had them price similarly. Look out for deals.

Yea. People don't buy as many as before since now everybody has a smartphone. Plus it's now almost two years on the market which will probably have brought down their cost significantly pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimd

I'm down on this option, but I may have just had bad luck. I got a refurbed iPod Touch and the battery stopped recharging pretty quickly. I wish the dang things had a user-replaceable battery. You can get a refurbed Android tablet, root and flash Ice Cream Sandwich and use the Logitech app for

Yes, and it still does. It does not support iOS 5, though. And while I currently don't see a reason to move the App to "iOS 5 only" (there were much bigger changes between 3 and 4) I still can't guarantee that there well not be a reason to remove support for the older devices in future updates. A
