The other night I decided to show off my slim setup to a friend whom I've always thought would appreciate it (developer, music lover, geek). During my little demonstration I had the following happen with 6.5.1: 1) I had to explain that yes, the duplication of tracks have been happening since I got it over a year ago for a variety of reasons. No, there are no checks for it in the software that I know of.
If your tags aren't correct, it will fail. It does take work to get them correct, which has been well documented. That being said, I think that there may be additional issues around use of iTunes, which I can't really speak to as I don't use it.
2) I had to explain that it doesn't always get the album art even though itunes can - that's been happening for over a year for various reasons.
Use Album Art Aggregator, then wipe and rescan your database.
3) [squeezebox shuts off, slim server displays "playlist not found"] Um.. yeah, thats been happening since I got 6.5
Never seen that one. ...
Are other people feeling the same or am I being too cynical?
I've seen some crashes too, and I'd like it to be better... but then, I can say the same two phrases about my new MacBook (crashes all the time), my old PowerBook G4, the two IBM/Lenovo Windows XP laptops in the house, my home-brew SuSE server, the data-centered Dell 6350 running SuSE that I share with some friends, my Tivoli Mark Twos with subwoofer (poorly grounded), my Blackberry 8700, my iPaq 4150 (can't be flashed to a new BIOS), my wife's Motorola RAZR (can't get photos off of it), her iPod mini (battery is dying), and all the cordless phones in the house (http://www.monkeynoodle.org/comp/race). Technology does not meet high expectations, and the only high tech device in my life that has proved fairly reliable is my 2005 Prius (knock on wood). The good thing is that it does improve so long as there is desire to make it better, and with software, that improvement goes quickly. Your options are to lower your expectations or to wait for improved technology. -- "I spent all me tin with the ladies drinking gin, So across the Western ocean I must wander" -- traditional _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
