[slim] Opinions on TelCanto for SlimServer
Just downloaded the TelCanto client for SlimServer and it is fantastic, totally changed the way I explore my music. IMHO, a feature rich PC/PDA client from SD would really makes this product more of a winner, especially in light of the latest Transporter, and of the Sonos competition with the slick thumb wheel remote. I am a bit concerned about the $49.99 price of the Telcanto, it is a bit steep for a thin client that i useful but not that feature rich. Their stripped down web site with not a lot of user community participation also concerns me. Does it update its product often? Are they going to around? Still thinking of the purchase. I have already spent a few bucks on slim pluginns like MusicIP... Which is not supported by TelCanto. -- agentsmith agentsmith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1838 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25928 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

stoobie-doo wrote: Can someone explain to me in non-audiophile terms what makes the various features of the Transporter so desirable, because it's hard for me to understand what people are getting (besides a knob). Audiophiles often defy logic or at least economics. If you have to have it explained, you probably are not the target market. It is not about being worth more, it just costs more. Free markets and all that. Of course, some of the price is justified by 'stuff' you get, including higher cost parts, fancy cases, dual displays, etc. Some folks have complained that the Slim Devices stuff doesn't look right in a rack or stack with audiophile gear. The SB3 isn't 17" wide, doesn't have rack mount ears, doesn't cost more that a week's wages, etc. If it sells, then it is worth the price. If not, SD will stop making them. The audiophile market is not like consumer electronics. The volumes are tiny, most of the stuff is hand made, and it is made of expensive parts. I have heard from reliable sources that many of the 'big audiophile' brands sell only about a million dollars of sales per year. At $2000 per unit, that is only 500 units. And at more standard audiophile prices, say $10,000 a unit, it is only 100 units. Consumer electronics manufacturors like Sony and Yamaha probably lose more than 500 units to containers falling overboard at sea, let alone normal inventory shrinkage. Its a different world. Some of the cost is engineering time to lay out circuits to minimize noise that is nearly or maybe even totally too low to be heard. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: 30-second freeze?
I patiently read through this thread because, after a long pause of not upgrading the Slim Server, I took my server from 6.1 to 6.3. Since then, I have the problems you all describe in this thread. All the time. I won't bore you: my server's idle (even while these freezes occur!), my wireless signal strength is strong, music may or may not be playing - no matter. Two observations: (1) This is a Slim Server bug. It's new - never had anything like this on 6.1. It is a direct result of my upgrade. No h/w or f/w changes took place. My two SB2s are all on the latest f/w (those I had to keep updating coz of endless wireless problems). (2) Have you noticed how not only the IR operation totally seizes up but how the Slim Server web GUI freezes at the same time? While the remote refuses to operate, so does the web page. Just hangs. Same goes, obviously, for my IPAQ. Game over. To me it seems pretty obvious that this has nothing to do with the network (the GUI seizes up on the same machine that runs the server). The absence of any processor load would further indicate that the Slim Server is not running in some infinte loop. It rather seems that it is waiting on some system resource to free up. Which it eventually does, when all is back to normal again. For a minute or so. So I am again in another fine mess. Time to write another bug report. I should have known better than to upgrade, I suppose. Sad, really.

At less than full volume, the additional bits are used to _maintain_ the resolution of the original signal, but you can't effectively _increase_ it. If you want to ensure 16-bit passthrough with the additional bits being zeroes, choose "fixed digital volume" in player settings. Again, there is no way to "increase bit depth" - you can't recover information that isn't there. Also, whatever processor you want to use should not have a problem with a 24-bit input. If it doesn't know how to deal with 24-bit then it will only look at 16 of them. -- seanadams seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25907 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

In theory, you can also bind a playlist as a favorite, which then gives you one button access to a playlist from your remote control, without having to browse the menus. Important if your SB3 is hidden in a cabinet with an IR repeater. In practice, there is a problem with big playlists that cause multiple minute delays before it starts playing.

While a slicker UI would be nice, I am not sure that this is what is needed most. I would think the main thing is a rock solid and flexible database. I know that a major part of the 6.5 development is the database, and I have high hopes that eventually it will satisfy the needs of classical and jazz listeners. But as an audiophile, I want to be able to store and retrieve all kinds of information about the recording. Musicians, and the instruments they play, the record label, performer, composer, conductor, composition, movement, date of the original recording as well as the date of the particular pressing, etc. Of course, a UI that would allow me to access this information will also be necessary. I use CATRAXX to store that information now, but I would really like to have that information available when I am browsing slimserver from my handheld or Nokia or whatever while sitting on my couch listening. I keep looking at Olive units, not so much for the audio quality, but because in fact they have developed their database to deal with classical music. I really like the SB, and am sticking it out for now with hopes that eventually I will be able to properly catalog my library with it.

Incidentally, since Draytek is the last incompatible router reported and they've had to release firmware to correct it, it's their problem, not Slim Devices'. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25802 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: My recipe for a cheap Slimserver
Good idea! Keep every old computer you can get your hands on. I still have my first one, an AMD K6-2 400 MHz with 192 MB RAM. That could still run SS, especially with Linux. Twice I've liberated some computer hardware neighbours were throwing out. The best PC I can cobble together from those parts is a Pentium 166 with 64 MB RAM - not capable of running SS but perhaps a non-GUI Linux flavour for a firewall or router box. It did run ClarkConnect though. My last find was a Pentium 4 B with RDRAM motherboard (unfortunately the RDRAM was missing). But a nice case and power supply in pristine condition. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25892 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Connecting my Squeezebox to "external" slimserver
Hello. I haven't been able to find any answers on this elsewhere. I have a private password protected slimserver on my home network. I'm able to connect to it from the outside with winamp and xmms. But when I try to connect my squeezebox from another network to my slimserver, it doesn't even show up on my tcp-dump. Does the squeezebox only connect to slimservers on the same subnet? -- Staale -- staalelor staalelor's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6632 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25900 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Another Wireless Connection Problem
I have come to the conclusion that the wireless circuitary is not worth a whole lot on these units. I am getting the same sort of issues with choppy sound disconnecting and re-connecting. I have experimented with channel changing and all sorts of combinations of WEP and WPA with the net effect that it doesn't really work as promised. Connected via ethernet is fine. My experience tells me this is not a signal strength problem. It's more like packet drop-out (remember those old ethernet frame types 802.2 & 802.3. Frame mismatch caused that same sorts of problems with unreliable connections. I don't know what the problem is with mine it's just flaky. I just don't buy the solutions from the support FAQs. It's a shame cos the SQBX 3 is a great product (when connected to ethernet.) Could someone from SLIM please help me get my box going.

Hi, Is the SB still dead if you press the left button (keep it pressed). Also, you see no SLIM DEVICES logo when you switch it on? Otherwise, you could try to reset it to factory defaults (I believe it is pressing the BRIGHT button when you plug the power in... but I could be wrong). Hope it works out for you, as my SB3 is about the same age... :) Regards, Matt -- matthijskoopmans matthijskoopmans's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25897 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: New Slim Devices Product? "The Transporter" per 6moons.com??
Dom: An alpha release in software is more tentative, more developmental than a beta release. >From the greek letters alpha, beta, gamma, delta. Corresponding roughly to A, B, C/G, D. I guess you'd have to say that the "real" release was the gamma. Delta's are usually small incremental updates to a released base, so like 6.3.1 was to 6.3. This use of the letter delta probably comes from calculus, where delta is the difference from the previous result, used for improving the accuracy of the next result in an iterative solution. -- Michaelwagner Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25771 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
