As of now and the last three days there were no single hick-up on the squeezebox touch with triodes plugin. Spotify seems to have corrected their congestion problem. Let's hope it stays that way! Thank you Triode for making this possible. Makes me miss your plugin at work, where I have to use

Just as the title says, it's so frustrating when I select My Music folder (to access FLAC or MP3) on my laptop for a certain tune, then it plays another in my library despite showing the title of the one I wanted on the screen! It doesn't do this with ripped CD tracks though. Also, shouldn't

[SlimDevices: Touch] Touch Blind Testing app - testers wanted

2012-02-12 Thread Triode
I'm interested in a few testers to see if they can tell any audible difference between a few cases using a blind testing applet I've put together for Touch called Audio Blind Tester. The idea is that it allows multiple people to evaluate a set of configurations and rate which sounds preferable
