Has anyone started looking at the new Audio Video Bridging standards
(www.avnu.org)? They look like they could completely change the game
for network audio devices like the Squeezebox.

rtunately I can't see a good
way to reconcile per track years and (multiple) genres with the various
sort options (which I think are new in 7.0?). I was wondering if the
SqueezeCentre developers have thought about it.

decided not to follow this model and to only allow sorting by album
artist.
What happens if you select the "All Tracks" item rather than a
particular album - how are the tracks sorted then? Are they alway

The funny thing is, the fact that I don't have a Sonos system has
absolutely nothing to do with cost. Its simply that I refuse to have
such a device operating on 2.4GHz independently of my Wi-Fi network.
Those frequencies are simply way too busy (at least in urban areas)

with a Squeezebox at all? Just build a nice little nano-ITX box and run
SqueezeCentre and Softsqueeze on it. Plug in a video sender and listen
to it anywhere.

presumably there is a reason for it? How do you decide
where to place the album in the sort order in that case? Does it appear
twice with some tracks in one place and others in another?

The Dell Axim can be used a network music player but you'd have to get
extra software to do it. Unfortunately, as far as I'm concerned the
sound quality of the Axim hardware is simply not good enough. Can't
comment on Sony PSP or Nokia 770
I've been developing it under 6.5 (the last version before that branch
became unstable). I think that could be the problem. I'll see if I can
find time to test it under 6.2 and 6.3.

impression that on my x51v the cache is invalidated when you restart IE
but possibly a soft reset might help. Also try clearing the cache in the
SlimServer directory on the serve
You might also consider the Dell Axim x51v. I've done some work on a
dedicated skin for it (which should work on similar WM5 devices).
Unfortunately I don't have a Nokia 770 so I can't comment on relative

The problem actually seems to be in the Squeezebox firmware. It drops a
fraction of a second at the end of every track. Its a known bug.

I think this is probably covered by bug #2938.
For what its worth, I've had trouble with the server-side decoding
chopping a fraction of a second off the end of WMA VBR files (only
noticeable on dance mixes, live recordings, etc.) so your work around
may not be 100% perfect either.

I don't run anti-virus and have already disabled the Firewall (as I

Both PC and Squeezebox are connected to the router by cable!
The Network Test plugin indicates I have at least 4Mbits of bandwidth.
Oh, and my WMA VBR has gotten off to a good start. The first track

possible from the start of a track?
