Re: [slim] Digital recording
- A cable that had digital at one end and analog would be a DAC, and no cable is going to do that for you! - Recording level is indeed irrelevant to a digital signal, but that's not what you have here. If you are taking the line out from the SB then you're in analog mode. - I'm not quite sure what this Pogo device is, but if its the one I found after a quick google then it has only an analog line in, no apparent way to transfer mp3 files. - I'm not sure how perfect recording level in your first post is consistent with have to turn the volume up a bit more than usual in your second, but if you're happy with what you've got then leave it alone! - if there's no recording level control on the device, its because its cheap, not because it doesn't need one - why anyone would make a digital music player that doesn't have the capability of downloading mp3 files completely escapes me! - BTW, is it one of these? http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/09/pogos-radio-your-way-lx-radio-centric-dap/ If so it seems to have an SD card facility, if you have an SD card reader on your PC you could use that for transferring mp3s.

Re: [slim] Apple TV Competition?
The Apple TV is very formidable competition. It plays HD video, supports lossless audio and plays your photographs. It has a an Intel proc, Nvidia GPU and a 40GB hard drive that is a snap to replace with whatever 2.5 drive you want (PATA). It runs OS X 10.4 with a full Quicktime stack which has been modified with Perian to support more codecs. It has Toslink, Component outputs and HDMI and a mysterious USB port for service needs. If I'm a consumer and I'm looking at an Apple TV versus a Slimbox it's going to boil down to if I want Photo and video support and if I hate/love having the TV show the UI. Complaints about Apple being the Devil or using DRM to gain a monopoly is just dogma pure and simple. Apple is where they are because of excellent design and execution. I hope that with Logitech's backing Slim Devices can thrive and compete at this level. -- hmurchison hmurchison's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7550 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31559 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Apple TV Competition?
I think having the TV on is not a problem for most users. In fact it will be a talking point amongst friends and relatives which will give buyers that confident feeling that they have got value for money. I think it was stated before that this is a consumer machine and not aimed at the audiophile market. When viewed from this perspective the Apple tv is a strong competitor to the squeezebox. Remember you don't need to buy a single track from Apple it will play all your ripped music so really the only lock in is that you need to use itunes, which in my opinion an excellent piece of software and is free. The big advantage of the Apple tv is that it will not need much maintenance if any. Squeezebox on the other hand does take a degree of technical knowledge and a certain amount of maintenance, and if things go wrong... Which would you recommend to your very non technical relative? The only stumbling block is the need for an hd tv, but have you been into an electrical shop recently?

Re: [slim] Apple TV Competition?
Apple show up where SD fail - the consumer product versus the enthusiast product. To compete, SD need to do two things: - make it work out of the box. This means supplying it with a fully-configured NAS as a complete option, plus bundled ripping software that all just works. - make the web user interface a joy to use. The remote is fine, but the web interface is not suitable as the end-user consumer interface. If third parties can do it (Nokia 770), why can't SD?

Squeezebox on the other hand does take a degree of technical knowledge and a certain amount of maintenance, and if things go wrong... Which would you recommend to your very non technical relative? This is my point - as much as I like my squeezebox, I'd be reluctant to recommend to anyone even remotely non-technical. iTunes is easy, Apple TV looks easy. In addition, it's pretty good value for money. While I've had fun with my squeezebox, it has been a huge time-suck and required too much fiddling/compromises (the non-ASCII song/filenames issue has caused huge problems for me). In many cases here, I notice plenty of people have dedicated servers, and some have bought some specifically for that. Lots of people I know would not do this - they have one laptop, and aren't going to dedicate it to running an audio client full-time. I also don't understand the comments about the apple ecosystem. The only Apple ecosystem requirement is to use iTunes. Granted, that means users have to be using windows or mac os x, but that does cover just about the entire market. (Would mt-daapd or whatever it's called work?) Anyone using better fileformats (like FLAC) is probably sophisticated enough to set up a converter to populate iTunes with AAC, MP3 or apple lossless files. This will make the slimserver a much, much harder sell. Or relegate SD to a hard-core niche market. On the other hand, maybe that's where they want to go with the $2000 transporter. -- gsalton gsalton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31559 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] search on NAS-based slimserver
I said this before and I am trying to catch some attention again. For gamers or people who wants cheap blu-ray out there in the community, note that the Sony PS3 is potentially a killer Linux server that should be millions of times more powerful than the NAS boxes. The PS3 allows you to: 1. Swap in bigger nard disks seamlessly 2. Install Linux as dual boot 3. Plug in USB hard disks (there are 6 USB ports) In terms of quietness, the PS3 is normally noiseless until the fan kicks if the machine starts to overheat. That happened to me after I left it on all night in a closed cabinet. I have a PS3 but do not have the Linux skill to install Slimserver on it. So I will have to bribe a Linux friend to do it for me sometime in the future. -- agentsmith SB2/Pioneer DV-S733A - Benchmark DAC1 - Naim Nait 5i - Naim Ariva Speakers.

Re: [slim] Network Structure
Is there a way to set up my network such that my SB3 (with ethernet connection to the network) does not quit when my internet connection goes down? Nothing special here. As long as you have a local slimserver running you don't need internet access. What's your configuration? -- Michael - http://www.herger.net/SlimCD - your SlimServer on a CD http://www.herger.net/slim - AlbumReview, Biography, MusicInfoSCR ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Folder links
SlimServer Version: 6.5.1 - 11206 - Debian - EN - iso-8859-1 For various reasons, I keep about half of my music on a drive in my desktop box, and the other half on a usb drive. When I first set up the server software, I pointed it to the folder on my desktop's drive. I assumed that I could then create a link to the music folder on the usb drive in the desktop drive, so that I could access both sets of music. But this does not seem to work. Is there any way to do this? -- code-breaker code-breaker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10712 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34021 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Folder links
But this does not seem to work. Is there any way to do this? Shortcuts are the way to go. If it isn't working for you, we'll have to find out why. Did you do a full rescan after you added the shortcut? If you turn on d_scan and d_info in Server Settings/Debugging you'll find information about the scanning process in your log file. This might help find out what's wrong. Search the log file for the name of your shortcut. If the file is growing too huge, you might test it with an empty folder as main music folder in which you put the shortcut to the external disk. -- Michael - http://www.herger.net/SlimCD - your SlimServer on a CD http://www.herger.net/slim - AlbumReview, Biography, MusicInfoSCR ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The motivation to collaborate on this is that you are the designer and I am the builder. I learned a valuable lesson when I was self-employed in lawn care. I gave my customers what THEY wanted (plus more), and before long, their associates came to me for services. I hear about it almost every day in the Seattle news--the Sonics need better accomodation--Key Arena will not budge--Sonics look to build new stadium outside of Seattle to accomodate their needs. Yes, I will open this in your neighborhood. As long as we have a particular sport in the Winter or Summer Olympics, everyone should have relative access to being trained in that respective sport. The direction I plan to take is to open Crossover Commons in Sumas, WA in fall of '09, in time to accomodate teams from around the world to train near Vancouver in preparation for the 2010 Winter Games. As is commonly known, the available facilities really don't meet the needs for most teams to adequately prepare for the Winter Games. Building in time for the '09-'10 season is is a pivotal event in time to use as a springboard to open similar facilities in Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, Minneapolis, etc. So yes, the goal is to bring this to YOUR neighborhood. Everyone should have equal access. Yes, you WILL be able to login into my website and control robots that shoot skaters with hot grits as they go by. Why shouldn't you have that. For this venue to work, it has to be about YOU. -- Skeeler Skeeler's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10896 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33963 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Time to pick up another SB. $229 shipped.
At that price (with the discount) I simply *had* to get a second SB3!! Not sure where I will put it yet, but I know I will find a home somewhere. I am in NZ and at the moment the NZD is very strong - so this is an even better deal for me! -- SumnerBoy SumnerBoy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8924 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34009 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] iTunes, Sound Check and Volume Adjustment.
mcslim;191138 Wrote: I am on a Mac system. My understanding is that mp3tag only works on PCs. Check out iVolume at http://www.mani.de/en/software/macosx/ivolume/. It works GREAT at keeping all of your tunes at the same volume. This does NOT change anything within your lossless file, only the TAG info that SB can read and compensate for. You can also turn this function OFF on SlimServer if you don't want it, but iVolume does a MUCH BETTER JOB that iTunes attempts. To turn this off on the server go to the settings for your SB or Transporter, check the AUDIO settings and at the bottom of the screen look at VOLUME ADJUSTMENT/REPLAY GAIN. Change it to DISABLE VOLUME ADJUSTMENT if you don't want it. -- Eric Seaberg Eric Seaberg - San Diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] Eric Seaberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7896 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33999 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
