I never understand when people say that the Squeezebox system needs maintenance. I only have to fix the Squeezebox system when I messed it up myself, by installing 3rd part plug-ins, pre-release beta's or Windows fiddling. My first update on my iPad 2 had to be done twice. The first time it left the iPAD2 in an unusable state. Not a really good experience, is it? -tm-;696825 Wrote: > 1. Sound quality: Apple TV sounds better then Squeezebox.

It sounds like the demeanour exhibited by some people preferring the bad .mp3 over the better .flac, because that's the soundquality they have come to expect... However, maybe the HDMI on your system is better than the optical SPDIF. -- verypsb ::Please vote::: '::bug 1330:: New music should work on creation date' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1330) '::bug 2140:: Allow specification of SlimServer address by DNS Name' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2140) '::bug 9152:: SqueezeNetwork keep track of SqueezeCenter IP addresses' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9152) '::bug 17542:: Albums not credited to Album Artist' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17542) '::bug 17799:: Use a separator such as 'Also appears on' when viewing the albums by an artist' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17799) 1x Boom, 1x Classic, 3x Controller, 2x Receiver, 1x Touch (Hoping for a Boom II & Receiver II) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ verypsb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17295 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94223 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
