Not as easy as you think. The question comes up quite a lot - search the forum for Shoutcast, which is the usual solution for this requirement.

[slim] Re: Stop this Various Artists Madness !
You shouldn't need to use the DISC tag for single-disc sets, but it is certainly worth setting DISC (and DISCC) for multi-disc sets. The set-up that works for me in 6.5 is the one album per folder (in the case of multi-disc sets, I have a folder for each disc, but set the DISC or DISCNUMBER and DISCC tags). In additional, for all various artist albums, I set COMPILATION=1 (I use mp3tag, but I seem to recall from other posts that in the mp3tagger this is set to TRUE rather than 1, although I suspect the tag that is written is 1). Finally, in the case of various artist albums that are nevertheless associated with a single artists (e.g. FatBoy Slim, On the Floor at the Boutique which has individual artists for each track, but I want it to appear in the FatBoy Slim album list), I set the BAND tag to the album artist (I use flac and for mp3 this is the TPE2 tag. I set the Band/Orchestra check box on slimserver Server Settings Behaviour and in the Compilations Settings, I Group Compilation Albums Together and List Albums By Band (I also treat Multi-Disc Sets as a Single Album). This all works very nicely, although note that Artists that only appear on a compilation album will not appear under Browse Artists, but I can search for them. -- smc2911 smc2911's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4388 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28780 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

This is probably a very simplistic analysis but my impression is that most of the regular contributors here are very music literate - they think about it a lot, they've amassed extensive music collections, and they tend to be early adoptors of networked music technology like the Squeezebox. IMHO, this group is likely to have quite definite ways they want to listen to their music, have set up detailed structures for their music libraries, and they are more likely to play music per album or using fixed playlists created over time. Slimserver's pretty well set up to deal with this type of music interaction. What Slimserver doesn't handle half as well is the person who has amassed a library of random music tracks (a la ITunes) and who wants to listen to it in semi-random fashion using dynamic playlists. This is becoming more and more the norm as increasing number of people put their music onto an Ipod and add odd tracks to their libraries using Itunes, Emusic, or copying from friends. This group tend just to want to access music, not worry about music library structure. Ease of access and simplicity are key to this group. Slimserver isn't half as well set up to deal with this kind of use, although things like MusicIP and ITunes update go a long way to introducing this kind of functionality addon. These people tend to be the ones who post a couple of time only on the boards, saying that they can't get their playlists to work they way they want (usually the same way that ITunes does something) and that Slimserver doesn't work for them as a concept for that reason. I think the question Ceejay may really be asking is how far should Slimserver go to appeal to the second group, recognising that it's an increasingly common way to interact with music ? If Slimserver wants to cross over into a mass-market product, then better playlist handling is essential - but I still question why it has to. For myself, I use playlists a lot, but I'm pretty happy with the workarounds / additional functionality provided by MusicIP or Erland's plugins. Even if these sometimes can be a bit of kludge with Slimserver, it's better than losing any of the other music cataloguing functionality that comes with Slimserver in pursuit of a mass-market product.

A poll associated with this post was created, to vote and see the results, please visit http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29368 Question: What do playlists mean to you? - Never or very rarely use them - Not a big problem: use static playlists for parties or similar, current features ok - Use static playlists a lot, would like to see better features for managing them - Want smart or dynamic playlists. iTunes integration and/or plugins usable (but could be better!). - Smart or dynamic playlists are very important, current options not good enough, must be improved - Critical: Playlist handling must be improved or I'm out of here While I am personally happy with playing full albums and shuffling the whole collection, I do see the attraction of smart playlists -- I just don't see it as being attractive enough to run iTunes/MIP/Erland's plugins alongside the Slimserver. So either you listen to albums or you shuffle your whole collection? You never shuffle by genre or by artist? If you do shuffle by genre or by artist, I think you are doing something that is functionally identical to smart playlists. It may not be called a smart or dynamic playlist, but it does the same thing: the computer gives you a list of the tracks, based on the criteria you specified (genre, artist...) So, in a sense, you're using smart playlists without even nowing it. I think people focus to much on the particular implementations and not on what these things actually do, on their function. -- Nostromo Nostromo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6322 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29368 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] streaming slimserver to nokia S60 phone (N80)
I was one of those people looking out of a boombox version of the slimserver. I guess the problem with such a device is that it would need to be tethered by weighty batteries or a mains power supply. However, with a Nokia N80 or other S60 phone with wi-fi you can achieve a similar effect with the freely available open source internet radio player. The downside is that you cannot control the stream from the phone, and wi-fi reception from the phone is not particularly powerful. Nonetheless this is extremely cool. You need to install the both the Nokia open source Internet Radio application and Shoutcast engine from: http://opensource.nokia.com/projects/s60internetradio/ClientPage.html You will also need to create a playlist file (e.g. slimserver.pls) and copy to the /Shoutcast directory on the same drive as the installation. For me the file looks like this: [playlist] File1=http://10.0.0.10:9000/stream.mp3 Title1=Mobile Slimserver Length1=-1 NumberOfEntries=1 Also, if you want to be able to use AlienBBC (listen again in the bath is definitely where it's at!) you will need to make the modification to RTSP.pm as helpfully outlined in: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26315 Don't forget to throttle the bitrate to your mobile once it appears in the players list and you will have a cool mobile radio you can use around the house! -- kefa Mac OS X 10.4.8, Slimserver 6.5.0, Netgear DG834GT fw V1.02.04 Squeezebox 3 fw 64, Primare SPA20, Monitor Audio GR20 Squeezebox 2 fw 64, Denon UD-M30 SoftSqueeze, Cyrus 3, Monitor Audio R90 kefa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=421 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29421 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Robocopy help, please
Robocopy uses the file modified times. It's saying that the source files are older than the destination files, so it's copying from the source to the destination. That's the idea behind the /MIR option - to make the destination exactly the same as the source. Does it do this if you rerun the backup operation? If so, something is wrong. My guess would be that you modified the files in your backup directory, maybe by mistake while you were updating some tags. SlimServer doesn't modify the music files in the library in any way. It can modify and save playlists, but not music. Even if it did, those files would likely then be _newer_ than the backup files, not older. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29417 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] SB3 as base for wireless bridge?
Hi all, here's a rather complex question, I hope I can explain it properly. I am wondering whether I can use my SB3 as a wireless bridge in the following way. The DSL socket is in my living room right next to my SB3, but all the other computing stuff is in the far end of the flat. Dumb. So currently, I have a cat5 cable snaking through my living room where it can be torn by pets, babies, roombas, ... not ideal (and ugly). In other words, the LAN travels right past the SB in a cable, and then back again without one. It would be much neater if the SB could sit on the DSL socket and bridge to the router wirelessly. The thing is: I have no idea how this bridging stuff works (or, for that matter, whether my router (a WRTG54GL running DD-WRT) can use the wireless adapter for its WAN side, and where that would leave my SB-to-Slimserver connection). The main thing for me is security: how do I ensure the SB3 will only talk to me and not the neighbours? Secondarily, of course I worry that the SB, being on the WAN side of the router, would no longer be able to access the server; and that the routers WLAN, being used for WAN, can no longer serve a LAN WLAN to my LAN clients (this latter point I of course should be asking in the DD-WRT forum, and is mentioned here chiefly for completeness). Does anyone have applicable experience? Am I being an unrealistical optimist (as I must admit I do suspect)? -- KlaymenDK - 010\001\111 - KlaymenDK's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4538 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29428 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: SB3 as base for wireless bridge?
Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. As a wireless bridge, it -receives- wireless signals and can send them on to a device connected to the LAN port. In other words, it bridges wireless to wired, not the other way around. If you connected it directly to your DSL, it could access SqueezeNetwork but it could not see your SlimServer. And as powerful as DD-WRT is, I don't think you can put WAN on the wireless side. If you added a WAP it would, but see below. Here's how you could get it to work, although it would involve making the SlimServer wireless, which is often a bad idea: put the router at the DSL port, wire the SB3 to it, get a wireless card for your PC and get it to connect wirelessly to your router. That actually might not be too bad. Although your SlimServer would be wireless, your SB wouldn't, so it's still a 1-hop arrangement. I'd think it would be worse than wired SlimServer/wireless Squeezebox but it would be better than having BOTH wireless. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29428 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

So there's no change to the files; the only change was upgrading SlimServer. -- cafewalter cafewalter's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8359 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29434 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Squeezebox + Amarok w/o using SlimServer?
Hello, First off I'd like to say that I find the SqueezeBox a pleasure to use (when it works). I've been using it for a few months now and I've definitely enjoyed the convenience of its remote control. There are a few things that *really* get to me, however, and as much as I've searched around, I could not find a viable solution for them. Essentially, - The SlimServer interface makes listening to music really frustrates me. I (personally) just want to brose my folders and play music from them. With SlimServer, I hit one impediment after another; I've posted about these on separate threads, but essentially: * I'm being unable to browse a directory if I've capitalized its filename * it's slow (I think because it's trying to download the artwork, but even I open a directory containing only directories, it's still slow to return an HTML page). * it's got too many dependencies (mysql, perl, etc apparently SlimServer's way too sensitive to API changes on their parts. * it's ugly no matter which skin I put on it. It's not that the colors and fonts are ugly, it's the whole layout; a decent music player like amarok nails it in my book where user-friendliness is concerned. - The remote control's seek function doesn't work like a traditinal one does: I'd rather seek by pressing and holding the seek button, as opposed to pressing it once to start the search and again to end it. - I haven't found a way to _disable_ displaying artwork for albums. If my Internet connection's hosed, then SlimServer will take ages timing out waiting to download the artwork (and I don't know from where it's downloading it, either.. I don't recall finding such a setting through the SlimServer UI) - Sometimes plops and squeaks pop up before a file starts (someone's raised this issue in another thread). For me, it sometimes happens in the middle of file playback, too. So I just wanted to know how, short of coding something myself, I can control the SqueezeBox3 directly through Amarok (with remote control support as well). I really can't stand the SlimServer UI, and I don't know how anyone else can.

[slim] Re: Robocopy help, please
Yes, somehow the timestamps changed. . . . Are they all one hour off? See, e.g., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS (For historical reasons, the versions of Windows that do not support NTFS all keep time internally as local zone time, and therefore so do all file systems other than NTFS that are supported by current versions of Windows. However, Windows NT and its descendants keep internal timestamps as GMT/UTC and make the appropriate conversions for display purposes. Therefore, NTFS timestamps are in GMT/UTC. This means that when files are copied or moved between NTFS and non-NTFS partitions, the OS needs to convert timestamps on the fly. But if some files are moved when summer or daylight saving local time is in effect, and other files are moved when winter or standard local time is in effect, there can be some ambiguities in the conversions. As a result, especially shortly after one of the days on which local zone time changes, users may observe that some files have timestamps that are incorrect by one hour.). -- Dave2 Dave2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1556 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29417 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

HELP !!! Same thing happened to me with my Linksys WRTG54G v5.0 but the newer 1.01.0 firmware fixed a VPN problem I have been having, and I kinda would prefer to keep it. Squeezebox v3, Slimserver v6.5.0, firmware v64 on SB3. SB3 says it can't find DHCP server, but when I check the router status page, it does get assigned an IP address, must never complete the process properly. Basically won't go any further. Doesn't work if I connect it via hardwired ethernet either. Same symptoms wireless or wired. I really hate to go back to the prior verion fw in the linksys, because I have ton's of vpn disconnection problems with that.
