Look here , mr herger himself made a plugin (in his spare time) for this it's not anounced anywhere , but it exists . I haved used it 1,5 days .
It is basic and simple but does most of what we want :) thankyou I kindly suggest we enjoy this and wait untill after the launch of 7.7 and the usual bug rally in the aftermath of that, before suggesting any improvements. Remember this is a free plugin made for fun not an official function so we have it as is. I'm thrilled to see that Michael can still get so enthusiastic that he makes pet project for the squeezeboxes, even if it is his work. The preview tracks at bandcamp is 128kBps CBR , which is the intention this is *previews of the music and artist* , sound surprisingly ok as it seems to be nothing but lowres variants of the real albums (that you can buy), no extra "radio loudness" applied . Perfect for exploring something new via my kitchen system or boom and dl it for later. (Thats interesting in itself that the appalling sq of webradio is not only due to low bitrate they usually f**k it up even more ) Works in all interfaces very good in iPeng and SqueezePad and it's also works on logitechs own controller app (but it has no browser. Artist page may take two attempts to load in the iPeng or Squeezepad browser . it also works directly on ip3k players , but I find pad apps a more interesting option as we have cover art to catch the eye . It also works on squeezeplay players, when you close enough to your Touch to see the display , or when fiddling with the radio or controller. web-UI is the interface where shopping would work naturally, so imo he seems to have fulfilled the user agreement, you can shop the albums and you be linked directly to the artist page when using a browser Plugin will exists under "my apps" but with an extra entry from extras for people who don't have any "my apps" menu . I thinks this app will work to the advantage of the artist and bandcamp, when you try out on your real hifi you naturally want's better than the preview soundquality. My usage scenarios so far in 1,5 days of testing have been mainly at the breakfast table with iPad Touch and powered speakers, and instead of reading when I'm going to sleep using my iPad and my Boom and knocking myself in the head with the pad when falling asleep, a pocket book is softer ;) Add this repo on your plugin page in SBS/LMS http://www.herger.net/slim-plugins/repo.xml +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: Screenshot.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=12665| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
