You and me both. Great piece of kit but incomplete information re how
to use. Basics ok but then its trial and error from thereon in. Poor

Are you saying you had a hard time figuring out how to use Random Mix?
Really?

It's an SBS (not iPeng's) bug, and one that I find particularly
annoying! Please vote for it at

You might want to add a little more information to that bug report.
Ubecause Pippin said it was. But now that I look back at that
interchange I think he cited a different bug. Seems we may have two
bugs filed for the same problem??? See below:

Thanks, Michael. Maybe I'm in the minority, but the way I've got my

Could be because Spotify is not replay-gained (no API support for it)

Good point. Spirit is much louder. And evidence shows that even slight
differences in volume lead listeners to prefer the louder version.

Will reply to my own thread. After reading some experiences from other
users I downgraded to server 7.5.5
This is really a relief, it seems most of the problems are gone and
spotify works reliable as well. server 7.6.x is very unreliable and has
a lot of connection problems.

Perhaps there is something going wrong on the USB controller side.
Or:
You could also try to set snd-usb-audio parameters, such as nrpacks .
I'm not sure though if you can do that on the Touch.
Hi Klaus, I did try nrpacks, it makes no difference for
squeezeslave only does 44.1. There is an alternative which is
vortexbox-player, it can go up to 192 as is.
VBP has some problems, it only works with the SBS in VB (I think its
just a configuration file that lets SBS know the capabilities of VBP),
and it only runs on the linux distribution in

You migth prefere the compresssed sound of spotify, a more correct
reproduction off the source migth not be to your liking ?
Also make sure that the replaygain feature is off.
Some very bad sounding modern pop recordings migth sound better by
being processed by spotify or some radiostation,

Oh yeah. I'd forgotten that 'net radio is generally louder and that

ReplayGain.
