RonM;329725 Wrote: You got it. Almost all the web traffic (here and elsewhere) is about eliminating gaps -- it's like the whole world has gone techno. While some of my recordings (e.g. Dark Side Of The Moon) are best heard gapless, it's not true for everything. In fact, to my taste, it's not good for most things, but gaps are especially important in SOME forms of classical music. Most of the time, I do like there to be a bit of a pause between tracks, a natural breath-taking. Don't like it when people talk nonstop, and I don't like it when the music plays nonstop. My problem is that I have music from a variety of sources. Some of it has naturally occurring gaps, as in most CDs or LPs, but some doesn't. I'd like to be able to force a bit of a pause, without having to edit each track manually. This would surely be an easy option to implement in something like SC. R. I'm not sure on this but I think if you use dbpoweramp you can add silence before and after tracks. You'll have to look on their dsp affects section to see.

Re: [slim] Does anyone buy MP3s from Amazon?
On Thu, Aug 14, 2008 at 9:58 PM, Goodsounds [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So, what is your take on the CD quality issue? I personally prefer vinyl to plastic based on my listening experiences, but do you think that to be unfounded? Wow. A vinyl fan who is actually open to the possibility that CDs might actually be better? I think you are the first I've ever seen. This has been a hotly debated topic ever since the CD came out in the early 80s. This is unfortunate because there's a perfectly good way to settle the issue scientifically, once and for all. My reasoning is as follows. The purpose of an audio reproduction system is to reproduce the original signal as faithfully as possible. It should not add or take away from that signal in any way. Making a recording sound good is the job of the recording engineer; it is not up to the reproduction system to modify the engineer's work product in any way. Ergo, if you can't tell the difference between the original and reproduced signal, then you can't complain about the quality of that reproduction system. So here's what you do. You start with your favorite test signal in analog form. It can be from any source you like, including a vinyl record; your choice. You produce a digital version of that signal by running it through a 44.1 kHz 16 bit/sample A/D and D/A, being careful to set the overall analog gain to exactly unity (0 dB). Now we have two analog signals, one direct from the input source and the other having been passed through the codec. Next you construct two audio switches. The first switch, the listener switch, has two positions labeled simply A and B. The second switch, the control switch, has four positions and is physically placed so that the listener can't tell its setting. The control switch affects the behavior of the listener switch as follows: 1. Positions A and B both play the analog signal. 2. Position A gives the analog signal, position B gives the digital signal. 3. Position B gives the digital signal, position A gives the analog signal. 4. Positions A and B both give the digital signal. It's important to construct the circuits so the listener has absolutely no cues as to the setting of the control switch. For example, there must be no audible switching transients or changes in gain, latency, bandwidth or phase. This means ensuring there is no perceptible latency in the A/D - D/A chain. You can see what comes next. The experimenter randomly chooses a control switch position. The listener must then determine whether the listener switch does anything. Note: the listener is NOT asked to determine which position is analog or digital, or to evaluate which one sounds better. He only has to tell if the switch does anything or not. You do this a number of times, each time setting the control switch to a random position determined by a pair of coin tosses (the experimenter should NOT choose the switch position by himself). The bottom line is simple. If the listener can't tell with better than chance accuracy whether his switch actually selects between the original and digital signal sources, then it is clear that the digital path is not modifying the signal in any detectable way. And if he can't detect the difference, he can't claim that the digital system is somehow worse. The listener may have other perfectly reasonable reasons to prefer a vinyl version of a recording over the CD. For example, the mixing and equalization on the LP might be subjectively better. But that is not something you can blame on the CD (or digital audio) per se; the fault is the recording engineer's who prepared the signal given to the CD mastering system. --Phil ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Linking artists
Interesting thread and related to this earlier thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43750 Only thing was during the discussion on the earlier thread I was told many things, some true and some not true, but the one thing I was not told was Boy, what a good idea!. So how come now a very similar idea to the one I outlined in the earlier thread is a good idea? In any event, I'm glad to see that others are beginning to see the potential of a fully linked music library/database and that the discussion is continuing. Hopefully this thread will ultimately bear more fruit than that earlier thread. While I understand that one can always use one of the online sources for additional information about the artists and albums playing on one's SqueezeBox, it would be nice to have similar information about one's own music library stored within one's music library's database so that not only are the various links shown but one could easily find and play the linked item. For example, what I mean is that not only would one be able to see that Tom Petty is a member of Mudcrutch but, provided that the Mudcrutch CD is in one's music library, instantly be able to add Mudcrutch to the playlist via a link. This would be very helpful, especially when it comes to jazz and classical music.

Re: [slim] Touchscreen integration?
If a screen of 4 is big enough for you the cheapest way is to just get an used Nokia770, run Squeezeplay on the server and present its interface via VNC or RDP on the Nokia770. Worked surprisingly good for me (I will probably switch to a FreeNAS/SlimNAS box soon as server, so I won't use it anymore). Or get a Siemens Simpad, it has a larger screen (if they are still around, I bricked mine, g). Small touch screens are relatively expensive and you still need an extra computer to drive them. An old thin client would probably be enough for that, but such a setup is somewhat clunky. The Gigabyte will be relatively expensive and there is no EEE Netbook with touchscreen in the works, you would have to do it yourself as a mod.

[slim] Album Sort Order on Controller
I posted this message in another thread which I later realized was part of the Beta forum. Since the beta is long over, I figured I'd move it over here: Has anybody noticed that the sort order is not consistent depending on how you got to the list of albums? I have mine set up so that the sort order is based on artist/year/album (that may not be exact, but I have chose the one that involves the year). The other day I noticed that the albums were being listed in alphebetical order by the album title. This wasn't what I wanted!! I checked the config and it was set to incorporate the year. As an experiment, I went into a genre and listed all of the albums. Those were listed in year order. So it seems that when you list albums under a particular artist, not matter what the setting, they are listed in alphabetical order. Has anybody else noticed this? Am I doing something wrong? The web interface does it correctly. I understand the differences in opinion on what the sort order should be, but I would think it should be consistent regardless of how you navigated to obtain a list of albums. -- maggior Rich - Setup: 2 SB3s, 1 duet.

I'm using Slimserver 6.5.1 on my desktop iMac, OSX 10.4.11, all running well and fine. I need to keep up with Alien BBC developments relating to the changes to the BBC website, and it looks like this is only going to work if I move up to 7.1. I have not moved to 7 so far because it doesn't seem to offer any advantages, and anyway I generally keep to the fundamental 'ain't broke/don't fix' rule of gadgetry. Now I may not have a choice.

There's only two reasons I can think of to stop it being implemented: 1) Sonos have some sort of exclusive hardware deal with Napster 2) It need stuff done in firmware and there's not enough capacity Neither seem very likely.

This thread has a few purposes, one of which is to open a discussion about how the current Now Playing behaviour could be improved. If you look at the bug at least two people have already made suggestions. The other aims are: 1) To exlain what the bug is. In my experience many new users think the player UI is eccentric but have trouble explaining why. From watching my friends use my remote it seems to me that *all* the perceived eccentricity is down the the implementation of Now Playing. I've tried my best to explain what is happening and how the present situation came about. 2) To see if others do indeed experience a problem with the Now Playing area (and that it it not solely me who gets very frustrated with it). It is a particularly difficult area. My solution appeared simple (so simple I knew there had to be a problem with it). Dump the Now Playing screen entirely and map the Now Playing button on the remote to the Now Playing (Jump back on wake)* screensaver. I now realise that there are (at least) two problems with this: 1) Not everyone has necessarily chosen the Now Playing (Jump back on Wake) screensaver in SettingsPlayerScreensaver. It is only one of seven options (although personally I fail to see how anyone would want to pick anything but the Now Playing (Jump back on Wake)* screensaver). 2) Apparently plugins are allowed to hijack the keys which can change the behaviour of the screensaver (or rather, what happens when you use the left arrow to leave the screen saver). Both these points were pointed out by seasoned SlimDevices users. I personally think that because this Now Playing area is so complicated (esp. if plugins are involved) that the people who need to partake in the discussion are the people who know and understand the UI very well... which really means the seasoned users and the developers. A discussion between these two groups is the one most likely to reach some sort of useful solution. Michael. It'd be helpful in your role as a lead developer and as someone who knows the player UI inside out (designed MusicInfo etc) if you could give us your thoughts about the current implemention of Now Playing and any suggestions you might have on how the area could be made simple, intuitive and logical. I'd also be interested to know what you feel about these two points: 1) That there should not be two screens that are virtually indistinguishable in look and name and that have different functionality applied to them. 2) Selection of a Now Playing screen should not totally divorce a user from what they were doing previously to selecting said screen I realise that raising this issue has come at a bad time for the developers, but the with new developements there has never been a time where the correct implemention of Now Playing has been more crucial. All the new functionality that SlimDevices have been working so hard on (Last.fm, Pandora, Internet radio and services in general etc) are the items most affected by the current implementation (as I have found out whilst playing around in the small hours with 7.2 on my bedside SlimDevice - please read about my experience using Last.fm above). The one thing I am sure about is that Now Playing should be simple, intuitive and obvious. No one should have to read a manual to see how it works. Any solution that does not fit this is plainly wrong. MC * The Now Playing (Jump Back on wake) screensaver has now been renamed and in 7.1/7.2 is called simply Now Playing, and is the default option. -- ModelCitizen On average people have fewer than two feet. http://www.last.fm/user/ModelCitizen ModelCitizen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=446 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51051 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Squeezebox 1 incorrect Now Playing display
I am running SqueezeCenter 7.1.0 on a MacPro running Mac OS X 10.5.4. I have several SlimDevices players on my wired network: 1 SliMP3, 1 Squeezebox v1, and 2 Squeezebox v2s. The SliMP3 and the Squeezebox v2s function properly. However, my Squeezebox v1 does not. The problem with the Squeezebox v1 is that the Now Playing display is incorrect. For example, if I play an album, with shuffle off and repeat off, here's what happens: Initially, it displays track 1 and shows the song's progress. At some point (14 seconds into it, with my last test), it will stop updating progress on that song. About a minute or two into the song, the display will switch to show track 2, even though track 1 is still playing. The display will continue to get further and further ahead of what is actually playing. Note that everything is playing just fine, playing one track completely before moving on to the next one. However, if I press the skip track forward and back buttons, they will change the track that is playing based on what is displayed, not what I'm hearing. For example, if track 1 is playing, but the display says track 2 is playing, pressing skip forward will start track 3 playing. I have reinstalled SqueezeCenter a couple of times, completely removing all traces of the former installation based on what customer support recommended, but that hasn't helped. Customer support thinks that the Squeezebox itself may be defective, but that's going to cost $90 to initiate an RMA. I don't want to go down that road unless it really is a hardware issue.

Re: [slim] Gaps between tracks
radish;329903 Wrote: This is the interesting bit for me. The keeping gaps where they should be problem is typically solved by the CD ripper adding the gap on the end of the preceding track. I'm assuming these tracks your talking about are downloaded? If downloaded files aren't including the gaps on the end this could become a larger problem. Most ripped tracks don't represent a problem. Some purchased/downloaded tracks do. And then there are the ripped-from-vinyl tracks, which vary quite a bit. Not all CD rippers routinely and automatically put in two seconds. Extra pause time wouldn't be a problem. Think of live music. Not too often that there isn't more than a two second pause between songs.

Re: [slim] Gaps between tracks
I have a mix of files -- most of my ripped CDs are ripped to lossless WMA -- I'd have used FLAC except that I use WMP as my computer player and it doesn't support flac natively. Most of these ex-CD tunes have an adequate gap, and it's not a problem. I'm very sure that the problem isn't processor power (recent dual core). The problem occurs mostly on tracks not ripped from CDs, which are mostly not lossless, MP3s, WMAs. Basically, I'd just like to force more time between tracks, as much or more as on a typical vinyl album (aside from exceptions like Dark Side of the Moon, and others -- I've been ripping vinyl today, and have found quite a variation within some albums in the time between the end of music on one track and start on the next, as much as a factor of 3 on the same album).

RonM;329977 Wrote: Not all CD rippers routinely and automatically put in two seconds. Just to be precise, it's not really the ripper putting in exactly 2 seconds, it's just including the postgap in the file. Normal studio recorded CD's are typically mastered with a 2 second postgap so you end up with 2 secs of silence at the end of each ripped track (except, sometimes, the last one). If the CD was mastered with 1 sec postgap you'll get 1 sec of silence, no postgap gives you gapless playback. In other words, unless the ripper isn't doing the right thing with the postgap (in which case, replace it!) CD ripped tracks should be as intended by the engineer. I totally get your point about vinyl and downloaded tracks though. Although assuming you're ripping the vinyl yourself it shouldn't be hard to include whatever postgap you want. -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51129 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Connection Keeps Dropping Out
Hi All, I've had a Squeezebox2 for some years now and am now having issues maintaining a connection via wireless with WPA security. I upgraded several months ago to a Billion 7404VGP ADLS/router/VOIP device and have noticed problems since then. What happens is a song will be playing, the screen goes blank for several seconds and then kicks back in. Meantime the music stops then it will restart. The router has the firewall disabled and I have forwarded the ports as required. I do not have this problem if I connect the SB2 to the Squeeze Network (currently playing it now for 15 mins or more without issue), it only occurs when I play my local files off my laptop's external hard drive and this will hapen every 2-3 minutes. I think it may be the Billion causing the problem but for the life of me I cannot work out what I may be missing. Does anyone else have a SB running with a Billion router? Any advice?
