[slim] Re: tagging question

ID3 v2.3 tags written by MP3Tag. Not sure which is to blame, but I'll guess the T9. When using the v2.3 tags written by EAC and lame, then all is okay on the T9. I am surprised how poorly some of these portable mp3 players are implemented. Slimserver and SB3 spoiled me. -- joek

[slim] Re: Wireless bridge mode - does the router see the MAC behind it?

problems with a router trying to provide a dhcp ip mapped to a specific MAC address when the device is behind the SB3 bridge. In small environments, there is no need to use dhcp unless you are moving devices between networks (i.e. laptop). -- joek

I appreciate you sharing your experience with the forum. It is a good reminder to be careful not to accidently knock over the SB when mucking around behind the stereo equipment. That must have been a heart stopping experience. Ooch. -- joek

[slim] Bored with Slimserver 6.2.1

The last officially released software (slimserver 6.2.1 and f/w 28) was five months ago. Seems a bit lengthy. I prefer released software (no nightly or beta), because I don't want to tinker and troubleshoot - It's All About The Music of course. -- joek
