Re: [slim] bye squeeze, hello ipod
The AppleTV has a digital audio out. It does shut down, at least I get the impression that the hard drive has gone to sleep because its initial startup after not being used for awhile is always a couple of seconds, whereas while in use the feedback from the remote is instantaneous. I understand that the hard drive has to spin up just like in a computer hard drive that has gone to sleep while in power saving mode. Be careful about reviews. The AppleTV has gone through several firmware updates since initial release and you need to make sure you are looking at a recent review. Older reviews won't help you because they were based upon out of date firmwares. I have the AppleTV and my review is that it works great. No complaints at all. It does what it says it does, and no configuration issues. It works with my computer, it works standalone, it works with my iPod Touch. It looks great on my HDTV, it sounds great on my stereo system. It is easy to control the AppleTV with the included remote. Now that my iPod Touch (or iPhone) includes the new "remote" application, it is even better. Don't need the TV on or even connected to choose what music to listen to. As far as Logitech's response to this, I have seen wishlists on this forum that have mentioned a squeezebox with built-in harddrive. That would be a serious competitor. Thus no need for your computer to be on, no need for the configuration issues of an NAS. That is what AppleTV gives you. That is what Logitech may need to meet this challenge. And to take this even further, with the continual fall in price of laptops, e.g. the Asus Eee PC, you could just hook up a laptop directly to your stereo system and use an iPod Touch to control your music and other services. There is an evolution occurring that is blurring the lines in the conjunction of a standalone music device and an all-purpose computer. I am sure Logitech is not standing still and is taking note of these developments. My own observation is that if Logitech wants to break out of the hobbyist niche and into the mainstream, it has to focus on ease of use. That means eliminate the need for configuration issues, just make it work right out of the box (of course it can keep this option for advanced users). Anything that makes it hard to use a product builds in resistance to its adoption for the general consumer. This is where Apple excels. It has its own ecosystem of hardware and software that talks to each other flawlessly and easily. -- mortslim mortslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11039 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49790 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Better sonics than an airport express when using a DAC but it is prone to getting hot and some reviewers and users have complained about the fact that it never truly shuts down unless you pull the cord from the back. Now that the duet can be used as a handset, I would wonder (though do not know) whether you might be able to control the Apple TV without needing the screen on which was always a serious problem for me. The fact that Apple can do something that is as good as this, means that there is the possibility of Logitech doing something that is close to being as good but with Squeezebox flexibility in the next Duet iteration. -- HectorHughMunro HectorHughMunro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16514 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49790 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Missing controller menu items

Can you access your music library from the webUI?

The problem you are describing makes me think that something is amiss with your controller's connection to SC, and that has been reworked quite a bit in 7.1.

Re: [slim] the future?
What I would love is music player with Squeezebox type screen/interface (or better) in my car (with a built in library). Once I get home it would realise that it is at home and automatically use wifi or other means to sync with my music library and with whatever playlist I tell it to, shuffling the music if the playlist is larger than the storage on the device. I would imagine it would replace the regular Radio/CD player and should at least have regular radio too. -- lrossouw -* 'Recently Played on my Squeezebox 3s' (http://www.last.fm/user/lrossouw/charts/?charttype=recenttracks) *- lrossouw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3416 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40106 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Any Update on Multiple Server Instanaces on Single PC
Of course it's no problem to ask why - sorry, I should have made it clearer in the original posting. I am a custom installer and I have a client with four x SB3 and one server with a single library on it (controlled via Crestron incidentally). They have been very happy with everything but now want to split the libraries into four distinct entities so that each family member can sync their iPods into their owne library via iTunes. There is a solution for managing the multiple iTunes libs on a single machine - all I need is a solution for SqueezeCenter so each SB can connect to a different library. I was not aware of the multiple library plug-in so I will take a look at that and see what it offers.

It's actually the very best way to browse longs lists one can imagine. But then most of the SC web skins have this, too (Default, Nokia, iPeng,...) The usability in browsing lists on the iPhone is hard to beat. However, if it comes to things like switching tracks/changing volume/things like that the touch screen comes at a cost: you always need to disable the screen saver first and look at the screen.

ok, so here's my first screenshot. this one uses the following strings in "Guess Tag Formats" to get these stats: /ARTIST/ALBUM/ARTIST - TRACKNUM - TITLE and /ARTIST/ALBUM/ALBUM - TRACKNUM - ARTIST - TITLE the other three strings are the default and i left them as 3,4 and 5, i think they do nothing for me. later when i can do a full clear and rescan i'll post my stats without my custom strings above, (ie. using the defaults) in my screenshot, notice the following: "dos" window says i have 23693 files that are wavs or mp3s. i assume it is correct. the album art summary window agrees. however the stats window disagrees, adding one song, and one album to the total the album art summary window has. very interestingly, that "error" seemingly persists in the music scan details as well. also, the album art summary window says i have 2662 artists, while the stats window claims i have 686. i assume thats due to some VA issues, (altho currently all my albums have "Various Artists" or some value in the TPE2 field) in any case, these are confusing inconsistentcies and no way to pin down from whence they came. the problem gets a lot worse when i only have the defaults in the guess tag formats fields. when i have time, i'll post that SS too. the defaults are i believe the following: (ARTIST - ALBUM) TRACKNUM - TITLE /ARTIST/ALBUM/TRACKNUM TITLE /ARTIST/ALBUM/TRACKNUM. TITLE so unless anyone says different, those are the three values i'll run on my next test. +---+ |Filename: stats.jpg| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5446| +---+ -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / SBC - w/SC 7.1beta - Win XP Pro SP3 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49429 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] logitech support issues
Your experience with Logitech support is very different from mine. I needed a new Transporter backlit remote. At the time there was not one for sale anywhere. Logitch support bent over backwards to find me one, finally finding sourcing it in the States (as it was discovered that European bought Transporters were never supplied with backlit remotes). Logitech support even rang me on my mobile to work out a solution (UK from Switzerland). I have to say I was deeply impressed.

I agree, the offered solution is a total ballsache, and they need to get their act together.

Re: [slim] logitech support issues
I posted this in an unrelated thread, but it's probably best posted here... I've had similar problems with Logitech support in the UK. I phoned them yesterday to report the new SB Controller I'd purchased from the Logitech website arrived without the UK adapter for the power supply. The guy I spoke to was actually based in Holland (even though I dialled a UK telephone number) and I got the impression he had no idea what a Squeezebox Controller actually was. I've been promised a call back later today by a supervisor as it appears the adapter isn't a stocked spare part. Looks like I've got to ship everything back to Germany for a replacement. Not impressed with the Logitech European support team. -- mick_w http://www.ulverston.myzen.co.uk/mini-itx/ mick_w's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6526 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49863 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
