Re: [slim] New user's experience on SC: Slow, unintuitive, generally not fun
What bugs me much more is the navigation, when i enter into a music folder, and chose an artist, and start playing the album, then the silly SC does not stay in that folder, but goes out, and forces me to choose music folder and making it load for ages. Choose the Now Playing (jump on wake) or similar screensaver. This behaviour is due to the default screensaver, which will jump out of where you left it. Subject to changes, due to some recent discussion of the confusing nature of this topic. But you can have the same behaviour as your friend by changing that preference already. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Master volume control
Thank you. Exactly what I needed. However, the logic is a bit strange. If I synchronize two players, A and B, then I can choose to have A's volume synced to B's (in player A's settings) while leaving player B's volume unsynced (in player B's settings.) This means that if I select player B from my Squeezebox Controller and adjust the volume of player B, then A will follow. If, however I select player A and adjust the volume, player B will retain its current volume level. A bit counter-intuitive. Another interesting thing is that it seems that synced volume means the not only does the player's volume follow each other, but they are also identical. If for example A is set to 50% then B will also be at 50% volume. It could be interesting if only the ratio between the player's volume was retained. If, for example, player A was at 25% and B at 50% when they were synced then turning B up to 75% should cause A to go to 37,5% thus maintaining the ratio 1:2 between the volume of the two players. This could be a great thing if you are using fixed volume power amps (i.e. no possibility to adjust amplification) for the two players. In such a setup with different amps, speakers, and listening rooms you would most likely never want the volume to be at the same absolute volume level in both rooms. Nevertheless, the above is only thought about future improvements. Right now I'm happy to be able to sync my kitchen and living room players. /Martin -- Mar7in Mar7in's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17879 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51349 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Understanding Replay Gain
Well, gradually going through the whole collection with Foobar 2000 and adding replay gain (question : why doesn't Foobar show the RG details in the RG column ? They appear if I look at Track Properties and if I try to add RG again it tells me they are already there). Most albums end up with a suggested level reduction, far fewer with an increase. Typically many rock albums seem to get a 5-10db decrease and jazz and classical a 0-5db decrease. A few (mostly classical) albums get a small increase. So, this will mean that when I listen to them with RG on, levels will be much the same for the average perceived music loudness but I'll have to crank the volume control round more to get back to the original volume levels of the tracks that have had gain reductions. One thing I'm still a little hazy about is the selection of this 89db default. 89db from what ? If I were to alter the default level by the amount that many albums have had their gain reduced by (say 9db) - to 98db, what would be the result ? All albums would still be at the same average loudness, but louder overall (meaning less cranking of the volume control on the amp).

Just use the volume dial, it's not that big of deal. It's a good level of correction. It allowed for generous peaks without too much risk of clipping. It's the same thing as recording too hot if you increase it. Replay gain is not just peak volume it's more complicated than that. You hit 0 db and you get clipping, square peaks. A lot of new music has that already. You need to do a search on the loudness wars. If you set yours to 98db you are going to have all kinds of problems. Any album that has a replaygain of -2 or more will have clipping and not just the peaks. You really need to trust the people that created this and stay with their value, if you must raise it go to 91db at the most. -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51320 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Problem solved: Can't connect to player
Hi, since I worked for weeks with this problem I just wanted to post how I finally solved the problem. Setup: Squeezebox Duet using All wireless (I use wireless router Netgear WGT624) Problem: OK connecting the controller to the network, and the receiver connects too. Good WiFi signal. The button on the receiver stops at solid blue light (handshake with network OK, but no connection to player). Then I can't connect to the Squeezecenter player. Sometimes I can connect but then the cover art partly fails. But the big problem is of course that I can't connect to the server most times. I went through all troubleshooting tips in the users guide, shutting down all firewalls. -No success. The problem was finally solved by deactivating the 108 MB/s nitro option in the Wireless router. It is some compression operation that apparently brings the Squeezecenter out of service. I found the tip in FAQ No: 5952 http://slimdevices.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/slimdevices.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=5952 This is a great site for solving problems, thanks.

[slim] Non-standard Countries
Hi Just a heads up on those of you in a different country to the norm. I recently lost the remote to one of my SB3s. Was considering to get the controller to replace it as I thought it seemed pretty nifty. However when I went to order the controler (or the replacement remote) my country was not listed (I previously, pre-Logitech, ordered off the web and my country was available as delivery destination).

Re: [slim] Menu improved but translation lost?
1) My remote speaks danish. But when I add a shortcut to browse artists or browse albums on my home menu they are displayed in english - when I use the normal music library (musik bibliotek) they are danish (gennemse kunstnere). Is it possible to add translations manually somehow or do I have to wait for another upgrade? Danish translation has been provided by a community member - it has not been officially translated. This will change very soon: as of SC 7.2 (to be released by the end of this week) Danish will be part of the official translations.

Re: [slim] Wired or wireless
Assuming the cost is not too high for the second jack I would go to wired Ethernet. It is true that the audio quality will be no different if you are not getting any dropouts. But, while it is true that wireless bandwidth is plenty for these devices, it is important to know that is it shared bandwidth. This means that if you have a 54mb G wireless router, everything using wireless shares that 54mb. So in the future if you happen to start watching movies off your laptop or put in a new wireless device that needs lots of bandwidth, these things will compete with your wireless transporter. Heck, a new cordless phone might change your wireless experience. -James -- James Van Vleet James Van Vleet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19147 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51480 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Losing my mind...
I've had pretty much the same experience with my Controller. I absolutely cannot use it with a Receiver, because the whole shooting match falls over with constant issues with the Receiver not connecting to the server or the Controller not connecting to the Receiver, or both. With an SB3 in place of the Receiver I'm at least (most of the time) able to actually listen to some music. Inevitably though the Controller loses its connection to the SB3 and I have the pleasure of staring at either a red wireless signal indicator or the endless Please Wait cycle. I'm waiting on a replacement Duet to arrive and hopefully that will solve the problem, but my gut feel tells me it won't. What frustrates me most is the SB3, Transporter and every other wireless device in my house have no issues whatsoever using my Netgear WG102 WAP, yet the Receiver and Controller seem to have nothing but issues. -- egd Internet forums: conclusive proof depth of gene pool is indeed variable, monkeys can be taught to cut code, and world peace is utterly unrealistic...

Re: [slim] one album shows as four albums?
Your SB (and for that matter, SqueezeCenter) doesn't add any tags whatsoever -- they don't have that capability, or even the ability to write to your music files. What format are your files? If they are MP3, I bet you have conflicting ID3v1 and id3v2 tags, or maybe even some stray APE tags. Make sure that Tag Rename is showing you *all* of the tags, or for that matter, just make sure that you delete any id3v1 tags. I don't know how you do that in TagRename, but it's easy in mp3tag. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51426 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] SBC: Now Playing Wrong - Not Refreshing
Hi - I've tried to check the forums, but haven't seen any info on this problem: From time to time, the information on the Now Playing screens is not properly updated. It will start out correct, but if I add songs or use the Play button to start a whole new group of songs, the now playing screen will continue to show the old songs. Often, when this has happended the Receiver will continue to properly move on to new songs, but the controller will not show the song changes, sticking to the previous song as Now Playing. Also, at times, I have shuffled the playlist, and the songs being played do shuffle, but the playlist continues to show the old, unsorted order. Turning off the SBC and restarting it cleans up and corrects the playlist - I do NOT have to restart SqueezeCenter I'm running 7.1 on an HP Mediasmart Server, which seems to run smoothly, except for this problem. I have the latest firmware for the SBC, which I am using with an SBR and a Squeezebox3.

It'll log into the site via the embedded browser, but opening the stream (with: http://site.name:9000/stream.mp3) doesn't seem to work. THis is not an uncommon problem with many players. Maybe I'm not sure how to set up SC to listen for open-stream requests -- rfrost rfrost's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5532 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25035 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Logitech Squeezebox Boom?
I speak a bit of German, so I can guess at what the following means. When you click on where can I have this product sent to, it says Dit toestel is beschikbaar in volgende winkels en kan aan huis geleverd worden vanaf Donderdag 28/08/2008 followed by an empty list of places where it can be delivered to. I think it says This item can be sent to the following areas and can be delivered to your house after Thursday, August 28th. I tried putting it in my cart and it did it, and charged me 4.9 Euros shipping. I'm sure it won't want to send me one in Kanada, not for that price. :D So it seems pretty confused, and I'm guessing you can't really order this thing, whatever it is. By the way, it's listed in the loudspeakers category ... Keeping a lid on this is turning out to be harder than putting a Champagne cork back in the bottle!! With the proper tools, you can put a champagne cork back in the bottle. -- Michaelwagner Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50760 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] one album shows as four albums?

I have found out that SB is adding a (2003) after the album name and a(2004) on the other one so squeezebox find three different years in that album allthough there are NO different year tagging in that album. I use tag rename. wery useful. so this must be a bug?If it's saying 2 different years then you have tags that say this. It's probably a date and year tag. Try mp3tag and look in the extended tag section. Make sure your artist tags and your album tags are exactly the same. It's not a bug, it's a tagging problem. You're just not seeing them all in your tagging program. -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51426 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Volume control bug
I had a different volume control problem and going to 7.2 also fixed mine. -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51481 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Understanding Replay Gain
liffy99;332205 Wrote: 11db ? So peak volume =100db (which is the same as Odb ?) ? How does that then relate to the dynamic range of the CD medium at 96db ? And 11db isn't much when looking at peaks at all (about 12 times louder). Think of the contrast in a drum kit - one moment the snare is being tickled with brushes, the next a tom tom given a thwack with a stick - far more than 11db. Yes but the snare being tickled by the brushes is not starting at 89. I would hope not at least. Like I suggested before, read up on the loudness wars, it will really help you understand dynamic range and what's going on now in pop and rock recordings. As you use replay gain you'll see that older recordings have smaller numbers and the newer ones much larger. The are making all the sound louder with no regard to dynamic range. In the older albums you could have a difference in what you were talking about of maybe 25dbs and you would really notice the snap of the drum, and now that might be 6 or 7. It doesn't have the impact that it use to have. Everything in the mix is loud. It makes for more fatiguing listening too. Sorry if I'm not explaining this so it makes sense. pfarrell could probably do a much better job of explaining all this. :) -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51320 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
