It has a digital output, so I would say that plugged into the same DAC as a SB, most of us would be hard pushed to tell the difference. Plus, it is far more convenient to use for most people. Apart from that, I don't hear too many people complaining about the sound quality of their iPods - they are used at HiFi shows for example as music sources. Why would the AppleTV be inferior? It might be, but it's not a safe assumption at this stage. Logitech didn't acquire Slim to let them carry out catering to the technically minded, they'll want to move into the same market that Apple addresses.

EnochLight;169981 Wrote: Wow - do you really think so? I mean, I respect your experience here and abroad but I wonder if AppleTV and the Squeezebox even compete for the same customers? To me, AppleTV is just Apple's version of, say, a Media Extender box for Windows MCE. If I need to have a screen hooked up to it just to access my music library... nah - I personally think that AppleTV will compete for space inside of people's TV-rooms and entertainment centers, not their stereos... I dunno, AppleTV may take *some* customers, but wipe out a chunk of their sales? If I take a look at the photo of your set-up thread in the audiophiles forum, I see a lot of TVs in the systems, so I think many of us are potential Apple customers. I think the way to consider this is rather than I need to get a TV to play my music - bummer and instead I can use my TV to play my music - cool. How many people out there fall into which camp? I was dead set against a TV in my music room. Guess what, I have a TV tuner for a laptop now and watch DVDs all the time using my music system - and I still play music. The usuability shortcomings of the Slim software and the small screen of the SB make it my domain only, my family won't use it. That's nice in some ways, but wrong in others. The problem as I see it is that we all (me included) get very definesive about our choices. I defend the SB when my family say it's clunky, rather than admit the truth. It is clunky compared to where the market has gone. Sure it sounds that much better than other systems and the latest iTunes just won't run that well on wireless networks, but if my SB had the same kind of usability as iTunes, I'd be sold forever. Right now, my finger is hovering over the buy button for the AppleTV, which is a shame because I invested a lot of time in my SB (it's modded with new PSU and case). I think we all got complacent about the SB because it sounded so good and perhaps dismissed the other market issues too quickly. It now has a competitor that costs the same for more features and components and is a whole lot slicker. If the AppleTV sounds as good as the SB through my DAC, it's game over for me. -- CardinalFang CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31507 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Thanks for the reply.. Your suggestion about removing the v1 or v2 tags worked! I used ID3-TagIt which I remembered is useful when you want to view tag info according to the different versions in the file.. It also has a simple Remove v2.3 option.. With just the v1, the PMA behaves itself and I don't lose any SlimServer functionality (I store album art using cover.jpg as opposed to tags inside songs..). I will only need to remove v2.3 tags for the problem albums on the Archos. Archos seems to support v2.3 but has some bug/feature that I can't pinpoint -- in this case the v1 tags are good enough. -- ngkelly75 ngkelly75's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31598 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Not sure which is to blame, but I'll guess the T9. When using the v2.3 tags written by EAC and lame, then all is okay on the T9.

[slim] 6.5 isn't working for me - where can I find 6.3?
Hi there. I've been using SlimSever for over a year, and all versions prior to 6.5 have worked flawlessly for me. When I first tried to upgrade to 6.5 last September, I had big problems (SlimServer wouldn't open, it wouldn't scan my albums, etc. etc.( I was able to roll back successfully to 6.3, as I still had the 6.3 install file on my hard drive. I tried to upgrade to 6.5 (and 6.5.1) a few days ago and have been having nothing but similar problems. For example, once I installed it and clicked on Clear Library and Rescan Everything, it took quite awhile to scan, but ultimately it decided that I have zero albums. I'd like to revert back to 6.3, which always worked well for me. Unfortunately, like an idiot, I deleted the install file a few weeks ago when I was doing some house cleaning on my harddrive. I've got so much darned music on the hard drive, that I was running out of room! Does anyone know where I can find the 6.3 install file on the slimdevices website? If not, if you have it, could you get it to me somehow? Maybe I could access it via FTP?

[slim] Server 6.5.0 does not find iTunes library (is this a bug?)
I was using server version 6.5.0 having upgraded from a prior version that was working fine. In particular, changes to iTunes library were being accurately reflected in SlimServer. After the upgrade to 6.5.0, everything seemed fine, but then I realized the server was no longer picking up changes to my iTunes library. This may have been related to the server update or to a subsequent update of iTunes (now running 7.0.2.16). Software is running on Windows XP Pro. Following the instructions on the server setup screens, I had the location of my iTunes library files and other iTunes data empty. The first remediation I tried was Clear the Library and Rescan Everything. This cleared the library successfully, but appears not to have found any data. I got no error messages (checked the Event Log, nothing there), just a message that the server was scanning the library that was redisplayed as the server window refreshed. But after navigating away to see if there were song or albums, I saw no indication that the refresh was still occurring, and indeed it was not. My SlimServer library was empty. I tried several times again with the same result. I checked the location of the iTunes library file; it was where it has been, which on my computer was C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\iTunes. (Note: while this is not the default location of My Music, however it is the registered location of the My Music folder for the user SlimServer is running as). I updated to SlimServer 6.5.1 build 11196 and followed the same procedure (there were suggestions that a bug related to iTunes was fixed in 6.5.1). The new server version did not correct the problem I was having. Then, I explicitly add the location of the iTunes Music Library.xml file, and that seems to have been the change that corrected the problem for me. It seems clear that SlimServer was not finding my iTunes Music Library.xml in the location it was looking. I would have expected an error. I scanned my system; there was only one iTunes Music Library.xml file. On a whim, I tried to *clear* the explicitly set location of iTunes Music Library.xml. A message appeared in the iTunes pane of Server settings saying that the server would now use the file in location: (empty). However, after clearing and rescanning, the library WAS found and successfully updated. This suggests that some residual incorrect setting was saved and only through clearing and resetting was the correct location found. I have seen several other posts that seem to suggest problems related to this, but wanted to make sure it is an actual problem prior to posting a bug. -- tharrison tharrison's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4831 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31648 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Night terrors caused by SqueezeBox
Is it too much to expect that when I turn off my SqueezeBox that it will STAY OFF In the middle of the night last night I was very rudely awoken by a bright green light and I cant tell you how annoyed I was when I discovered the cause a message from Slim Devices on the SqueezeBox. Initially I was simply SCARED TO DEATH because its just plain SPOOKY that this happened, and just plain ANNOYING to realize that this could happen. Its a complete violation of my rights and privacy for Slim Devices to come into my house, remotely, in the middle of the night, and to deliberately WAKE ME UP, just to tell me that their damn server is down for maintenance! This is the stuff of lawsuits. For Gods sake, I couldnt even turn it off with the remote! I had to unplug it from the back! Flashing a message to units that are already turned on that the server is down is one thing, but this is ridiculous! A discrete email would have been sufficient, but even that isnt really necessary. But to wake me in the middle of the night! Listen, if I win the lottery dont wake me in the middle of the night to tell me! If my mom dies dont wake me in the middle of the night to tell me! If New York is destroyed by terrorists dont wake me in the middle of the night to tell me! If youre doing maintenance on your equipment dont freakin wake me in the middle of the night to tell me! Did anybody else experience this nightmare last night, or just me? So what am I supposed to do, unplug the thing before I go to bed every night? I cant simply move it because its in a great place, close to the computer and I can see the display from bed, which, until now, had been a GOOOD idea. Maybe...I should return it and get the new Nokia N800 instead, which has the same EXACT form factor, is even a bit smaller, receives internet radio WIRELESSLY, has an alarm clock feature with snooze, let's me surf the web, AND has 2 built in speakers!

Perhaps this message is generated locally when your squeezebox doesn't find the SqueezeNetworks server (assuming you're using that?). Besides, how would the server notify you if it is down!? Perhaps you should turn down the brightness or turn it away from your face when you sleep. From where I'm standing, you appear to be slightly over-reacting. If this is the only aggravation in your life, you are lucky.

[slim] Re: Night terrors caused by SqueezeBox
In short: Slim Devices -never- initiates a connection to your Squeezebox to play or display anything. It isn't even possible to do that for most people (odds are your Squeezebox has a non-routable IP, it must initiate any connection to anything: the wonders of a $30 router). The only servers that a squeezebox cares about: your local server running SlimServer, the Squeezenetwork servers but only if you are actually logged into Squeezenetwork. So you went to sleep logged into Squeezenetwork, they did some maintenance and let connected (again -you- started the connection) clients see a notice as to why it was down. If you were awake listening to music, odds are you would want to know that you'd have to wait a bit for music again. As for this is the stuff of lawsuits, sure: a million stupid lawsuits are filed every year. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31652 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

With things like the SqueezeBox, Nokia N800, and oboe music repository around, not to mention a broadband wireless connection, all of which have matured quite nicely, I wonder how long it will take before the typical rack stereo system, popularized back in the 70's, will continue to exist - the furniture alone needed to house these systems can be over $1,000.

I know I'll never convince any diehard Slim owner to change their view. Most have invested a great deal of time and effort into the product and would never let go, but there are people like me who find the product equally enjoyable and frustrating and are more open minded to change. I sincerely hope this is the kick that gets Slim to rethink a product that has effectively remained static for a number of years. Apart from the transporter, it's been evolutionary improvements and tweaks and not big jumps to outrun competitors. The weak point has always been usability and the geekiness of the product, but Sonos and others have never really shaken the fan base. The entrance of Apple may perhaps spur Slim on to creating something truly a step ahead of the competition and one more suitable for the larger market. As I said, my next purchase is more likely to be Apple instead of Slim just based on value for money and usability if the sound quality is equivalent or better. -- CardinalFang CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31507 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Universal remote using Nokia tablet + Squeezebox
Before anyone gets too excited, this is an idea, not a solution ;) I know there's been work on using a Nokia 770/800 as a remote for Slim Server Squeezeboxen. And I know there are plug ins to allow the Squeezeboxen to control othe devices. And I've heard suggestion of the idea of using the Nokia as a universal remote, except it lacks an IR emitter. Well, how about if you could use the Nokia to control everything (Squeezebox and other IR-receiving appliances) by having the Squeezeboxen to emit the IR? Thought of this while looking at the Harmony 1000 universal remote, which while having a nice screen, won't let me browse SlimServer music. Oh wait, you got bought by Logitech...maybe there'll be a Harmonny 1000SB? -- makingmark makingmark's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2343 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31665 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

If you were thats the cause, because turning the SqueezeBox off doesn't actually disconnect it from the SN, it just put the SqueezeBox in another mode. I believe its still connected to SN since you can choose to show the clock on the display when its off and the clock is read from the server which would be SN in this case. The cause for the message would then be as described in Andy's previous post in this thread.

The Squeezebox doesnt really have an off. It has: Playing Music, Not playing music, and alternate-screensaver. Pressing the Off button doesnt turn it off: it is still on the network, attached to whatever server it was attached to when you pressed the red button, and displaying whatever that server tells it to display (usually the time, but you may want it displaying RSS feeds or something). That is not off in traditional terms, not even sleeping. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31652 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Night terrors caused by SqueezeBox
The easiest way to tell where you are is the clock when 'off': if it shows seconds you're on SlimServer, if it's just hours and minutes, it's SN (we save lots of bandwidth and CPU cycles by not showing seconds). Note that you can switch to an hh:mm format in SlimServer too, so this only works if you haven't changed the default. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31652 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
