Let's say I want to lower the volume on one player but i synced all my players together to one of them ok.
Now to independently change to volume at one player which is my use case now . I have to to switch player with my controller to get to the individual players volume !? Therefore I'm seriously thinking off getting an iPhone/iPod, does not iPeng have a menu with all players volume accessible at the same time ? Sometimes I would like to sync volume: But the use of the same volume at all players simply wont work one or two players is always to loud, sync volume is simply not possible to use as implemented now, almost nobody has all rooms gain staged the same. This can not be a corner case seriously ? You must have some sort of independent adjustment too, even if they are synced it could be so simple as some negative bias you set in the preferences (but master volume and player volume concept would be the best). I too have a rather smallish place and open doors so i hear all players from all rooms at the same time, so for now independent volume is the thing thats works for me. So if I want to listen softer I have to switch player 3 times with the controller and adjust each one of them ? Bizzare. The syncing itself works splendidly as i actually hear all player all the time. It's the UI that is awkward and confusing, if I for example suddenly want to sync my kitchen player with my living room player, I have to choose the kitchen player with my controller and then sync !? And then change back again,because i'm doing the playlist from the living room (30 minutes later I unsync ) Thats because the sync menu only gives you the option: Sync < current player> to: player x player y player z When whats needed in most cases is really this option: Sync player with <current player> : player x player y player z You can have both options in the scroll-down I think. And the opposite options to unsync of-course. Ok in very few words, summary: A sync UI designed so that you have to change player with the controller all the time is flawed, this must be bad for everyone rigth/wrong ? -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBR to be stuffed in a box in the attic ) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to control this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75381 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
