Re: [slim] Squeezebox vs. AirTunes Setup
I had the same idea about a cheap music streaming system and did start with my Win XP PC, iTunes, Airfoil and an Airport Express. I got music streamed to my amp and I could control it in a cumbersome way. It was frustrating to have different components which do work together or not. At least I was really thinking about to buy a Mac mini, because the best integration of all components is by using only Apple products. At this point I was thinking about what I really want ... it's simple ... just hear my music hassle free and in good quality. From here I took a deep look at the Squeezebox Classic (which was so expensive in the beginning of my Odyssey) and found my solution. It's simple to use, a display which shows the audience what's been played, I can use the original IR remote, old OfA Digital 5, my daughters iPod touch :), my PC or The Squeezecenter is portable an can be installed on so many different systems (Ubuntu on a low power PC in my case). So many plugins and settings to create a tailor made system. And the best - in the forum and bugzilla you can report issues, enhancements and you get real feedback. The developers and many, many other friendly and helpful people do hear and support you. I'm happy and do really enjoy my music.

BTW boosting signal power may or may not solve your problem. Boosting signal power also increases noise, so your S/N ratio doesn't change. You may get a higher strength signal, but it won't be a higher quality signal. Also this overheats the radio chipset and can result in premature failure in extreme cases.

[slim] SBR and signal strength
Hey guys, I added an SBR to my network of SB3s. I am running it wirelessly over wireless-b. I have 2 ethernet wired SB3s and one running on the wireless-g upstairs. The SBR has 73%-75% signal strength, and it stutters like crazy. It stutters with FLAC, AAC, MP3 256, and S/N. Is this at all normal? I tested the SBR upstairs in my main stereo. Over a powerline AV connector on a different floor, no problem. Wirelessly connected near the wireless-g router no problem. I am not sure what to think. Here is one option, but I don't know how I would execute: When I use the SBR is when I am in my office. When I am in my office, I have my computer in my office. I use wireless in my office because it is on the other side of the house from the router. I prefer to hook into my main wireless-g router. (SBR gets 35% off that one, which has a different address and channel) Can I hook up my wireless-b in my office without an internet connection to connect my computer to the SBR (computer still hooked up to the wireless-g for internet)? If so will I be able to use S/N? \ I guess I asked 2 questions: -is my SBR behavior normal? -can i jump from the sbr right onto my pc? trying not to go buy more network rubble.

The Rhapsody art might be something different entirely, and is quite possibly something out of your control, such as Rhapsody temporarily not sending the album art.

Re: [slim] Best Router to Use With Squeezbox?
I've just started using an old (Mark 1) Linksys WRT54GS, which had been sitting unused in a cupboard, in place of a Billion modem / router which has been giving me some wireless problems. I also looked at the Tomato / DD-WRT choice and saw some of the instability comments, but DD-WRT has a couple of features I really wanted and it's been 100% stable for me. In particular with DD-WRT you can assign the WAN port as a 5th LAN port (useful for me as I'm still using the Billion as a modem / Gateway / Firewall) and the WiFi configuration seems more flexible. Signal strength and consistency is massively better than the Billion. I'd also read about the heat / early failure problems if you turn up the power too much, so I've disabled all features I'm not using and set the Wireless power to a level where I get good coverage throughout the house but no more - a setting of 75 in my case, which gives a signal strength reading of 65% on my most distant WiFi Squeezebox and perfect FLAC streaming. Net of this is that I'm very happy with DD-WRT and would recommend it to anyone.

Re: [slim] Hole in the top of remote
Well I actually would like a Squeezebox Portable: Take the controller as a basis, make it smaller, put some buttons on the side to save space, keep the same UI, keep the memory card so the capacity can be upgradable, make it a top notch SQ headphone out, same audio codec support as the other Squeezeboxes, keep the streaming playback, install Squeezecenter inside the Portable, ability to sync with other Squeezecenter instances over Wifi so I can choose and copy my music easily to my Portable, and use the transcoding abilities of Squeezecenter so that I could have a choice of transcoding my FLAC music library in my main server to MP3 or OGG on my Portable (and this way I eliminate the need to have duplicates of the music I want in my portable). -- pichonCalavera *rip* (eac) *convert* (flac) *tag* (musicbrainz/mp3tag) *normalize* (replaygain/foobar2000) *albumart* (www/firefox) *transport* (winscp) *store* (debian) *manage* (squeezecenter) *control* (ipodtouch/ipeng-app) *play* (squeezebox) *preamplify* (zpre2) *amplify* (zampv3) *listen* (axiomm2/sennheiser-hd595) *scrooble* (last.fm) *enjoy* (me :) http://www.last.fm/user/pichonCalavera pichonCalavera's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13068 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53811 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squeezebox vs. AirTunes Setup
Sound quality from analog outputs: Squeezebox is better Sound quality from digital outputs: I can't tell the difference Ease of set-up and use: Apple wins: most people already know iTunes Flexibility: Squeeze wins, highly tunable in so many ways Supported file formats: Squeeze does more, except in the case of DRM'ed music. Serves multiple concurrent users: Only with Squeezecenter Cost: Airport express is only $99 per node, and is functionally similar to a SB Receiver at $150 ($135 right now in the sale). A two node solution need only cost $99 x 2 plus $239 for an 8GB iPod Touch(tm). I think there is still strong value in the SlimDevices product line, particularly if analog sound quality is a key driver for you. Furhermore, there is a whole line of products to fit different usage models from the Boom at one end to the Transporter at the other. -- dsdreamer -- Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you... dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58639 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Rumors of streaming MP3 to other players...Is it true?
I'm under the impression that one can stream mp3 to XMMS, WinAmp etc... I have experimented with this and can't get it to work.

The other thing which a lot of people miss is that you won't get any output until you start playing something :) A player connected over stream.mp3 is an individual just like a physical SB, so you have to add tracks to it's playlist and hit play. -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58676 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
