[slim] Looking for test tones
Hi Folks, My Transporter seems to be out of balance. The left channel sounds much louder at any volume setting. To test this I need a set of test sounds that enables me to check the channel balance. If you know a place to download such (I'm also on Usenet) please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Re: [slim] Why sqeezebox
iPhone's advice is sound. I didn't think for the future but I'm really glad I happened on Squeezebox. My requirements have changed and Squeezebox keeps meeting them start: replace iPod plugged into stereo, with remote control and visibility of now playing then: multi-room synchronous playing then: CD quality streaming then: scrolling and selecting by albumart next: different music in different rooms Alongside this, other systems do the same things but do they acheive the same quality? areas to consider are:- file range: range of codecs supported audio path: choice of DSP/DAC and amplifier/speakers (if fitted) longevity: strength of brand and commitment and abilitt to add in x years time. flexibility, adaptability: frequency of software upgrades community: alternate support and influence source: bespoke server, web based or pc music: your own and/or internet radio Interestingly your links show a NAS and a streaming system - there is no suggestion that the NAS could run the streaming software. Logitech through the acquisition fo SlimDevices have years of experience in this field supported by a large, active and vocal community. There are many new entrants into this space, only time will tell how many the market can support and how many will endure. Research and then go for it - streaming has massively improved my access to enjoyment of my collection. -- DigitalMitch DigitalMitch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69635 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Why sqeezebox
The more competion the better for all! :) That said, the swiss army knife approach to media streaming (video, pics, music, etc..) is certainly a popular alternative. Heck, for very simplistic all in one streaming you could just use a PS3 or similar device for casual use. But such all in one approaches are usually lacking in features functions compared to dedicated devices like the SB players are to music or a NMT (Network Media Tank) device is to video. Think of it this way: We all have those multi-tool devices in our tool box (screw driver, saw, knife, scissors, tweezers, etc... all in one) and they are handy for casual use. But would you use this for a serious job? Do professional contractors have these in there tool belts? Not likely. Serious jobs require serious and task specific tools. I'm casual about my video streaming so I just use a PS3. If/when I get serious about video streaming I'll look into a dedicated device to do so. I'm not so casual about my music streaming (my library, Music Services, Internet Radio) so I have chosen a serious, dedicated device to do so. Hello SqueezeBox. :) As suggested, you really must compare features, benefits, flexibility, codec support, etc... to your needs. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69635 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Replaygain: Strange mp3 tag behaviour
If you have APE and MP3 tags with the same name, how do you read them - in the sense of which one overrides the other? Every tag reading/writing app (including squeezebox) seems to have a different order. So, you get mysterious tag values. If you use mp3tag, there's a way to screen out all APE tags (or, I -think- all MP3 tags) in favor of the other. Look in the wiki for a how-to. Note that, once you've setup mp3tag to do this, the operation is as simple as open folder / select all / save.

Re: [slim] Replaygain: Strange mp3 tag behaviour
If you still have a file that gives you the wrong value, please file a bug and attach the file. There is one case where gain values can be added together, and that is if you have iTunes SoundCheck data and an RVAD or RVA2 tag. The basics are that if you have a REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN tag (in either ID3v2 or APE) it will be used as-is. If not, we look for RVAD or RVA2 and take that value. Then we look for iTunes SoundCheck data in a comment tag, if found this is added to the value from RVAD/RVA2 if any (we do this because that's what iTunes does). LAME tag data is not used. So for best results, you simply need to run your files through Foobar or another app that writes a set of 4 REPLAYGAIN gain and peak tags. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69563 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Why so many rude comments?
Once a large number of bugs exist, a strategy can be used (or not) to resolve them unless resources exist to fix them all within a reasonable amount of time. It could be FIFO, ascending level of effort, squeaky wheel/vote, product centric (e.g.,fix all reported Duet issues) or focused on core functionality/features. I have listed these approaches in the reverse order of how I believe they impact customer perception of the software. A weighted approach could be taken such as 80% core functionality/ 20% low level of effort. If a bug sits unresolved long enough, it can be rationalized as unneccessary to fix because users have lived so long with it. When debugging a new release, goals can be set such as 70% of new bugs resolved prior to release or 100% of critical bugs resolved prior to release. If the 70% resolved are easy bugs or the critcal bugs are mis-characterised, well... Regression testing helps discover when fixing a bug has side effects.

[slim] Excessive buffering and tracks that wont play
I have a good set-up I think :-). I run a Squeezebox Boom and a Duet connected to my amplifier. I also have a QNAP Network Attached Storage device which has Squeezecentre installed and all my music on it. The music is stored in an iTunes Music folder. I back-up/copy my desktop iTunes folders once a week to the NAS. I have noticed a couple of problems however and was wondering if anyone has any pointers. 1) Some of the music does not play. Initially I thought it was DRM related as it seemed to be only albums I had purchased via iTunes but I have noticed it with other albums as well which I have ripped from CD's I own? 2) When playing the radio it interupts and buffers quite regularly. I have checked the network settings on the Wiki against my ISP's Netgear router and they seem fine but it still does it?

Re: [slim] Poll: Do you have a Dual-Band Airport?
Yes I have dual-band Time Capsule and I have had no problems since installing it a few weeks ago with a Classic and a Boom. Of course the TC can be configured. I have tried allocating the bands manually and just leaving it on automatic and both work. Automatic seems works best in my house although it then does not make much use of the 5 GHz frequency. The system correctly identifies that 2.4 GHz is best for our study computer which has an n connection. Of more concern is tendency of Time Capsules to burn out their power supplies after 18 months (the capacitors don't like the high temperatures) - but that is another story. -- dBerriff Clients: SB3, Boom.

Thanks for the fast response! They're all local to the server. I think I might have the issue sorted - go to the SBS control panel and delete all preferences, reboot (not sure that was necessary), again look for new and changed music. I'm now up to 30K scanned (of 60). I was going to wait for a successful scan (which looks to be at least another few hours) to update. Interestingly (well, to me...) the first time - the one that failed - the scanner was just scanning the alphabetically first folder-shortcut. This time it appears to be interleaving different folders, and it looks as though the folders chosen for interleaving are from different physical devices. IMO very cool.

Re: [slim] SoftSqueeze...???
An alternate approach might be to install 'squeezeslave2' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54124highlight=squeezeslave2) - which is just a stream-to-audio commandline app (which you can minimize or convert to a service if you want) and then use the web UI to control it. You'd need 0.9 or above to work with SCS 7.4x You could also use moose (check the wiki), which is a windows UI (faster than the web UI). AFAIK, moose uses squeezeslave2 for audio output - but controls it directly. I notice that moose now supports musicIP, so it's time for me to try it again.

Re: [slim] Is the Squeezebox Classic discontinued?
As I understand it, production of the SB3 has already stopped. Up until now Slim Devices and Logitech have had an outstanding record of supporting older equipment, all the way back to the original SliMP3 player. These legacy players have actually gotten *better* over time through improvements in the player firmware and server software. It remains to be seen if this track record will continue, and for how long, especially considering the big changes to the SB hardware platform that iPhone mentioned above. I am not hinting at any doomsday for original SBs -- I simply don't know. If you really want to ensure personal availability of SB3/Classic, buy as many as you need now while they are still available. When Logitech bought Slim Devices I promptly bought another SB, but now I think my fears were unjustified. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69660 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Now when I look at my device screen on iPeng, I see Master Bedroom on top, then Living Room and finally Kitchen on the bottom of the list. I do not recall the order when I first used 1.2 but it was probably the same as now. I do remember that first I took Master Bedroom off sync using iPeng and then was surprised that I did not have the option to put it back in sync with combined 'Living Room, Kitchen'. Instead I just tapped Kitchen and all 3 devices were then in sync. These were my only sync changes using iPeng. This is when my problem of losing the sound of my Master Bedroom SqueezeBox Classic (after turning off Kitchen SqueezeBox Classic) first appeared. I think that just choosing only 'Kitchen' in order to sync everything again eventually caused the sound problem. The strangeness of not being offered the combination of my other two units made me decide to solve my problem by using Local 9000 on my computer instead of iPeng. I am aware of several weird problems which depend on the sequence of turning on and off synced devices on 7.3.X. This is probably one more bug that shows in 7.4. Again, this was just to bring this problem to your attention and perhaps it would help another user in case he unexpectedly loses the sound on a device. I know you are working on a manual (hurry, hurry) which would make things easier. For instance, what is the function of the large up/down arrow buttons which show on each device on the device list? I tap them, I tap and hold, but nothing happens. They appear on those devices that have set volume. My only device that has adjustable volume is the Master Bedroom and a volume control appears on that device instead of the up/down large arrows.

Both in the Edit mode on the players screen (activated on that screen through the button in the top right). I am aware of several weird problems which depend on the sequence of turning on and off synced devices on 7.3.X. This is probably one more bug that shows in 7.4. If your players are off and you torn on a single one of these, the selected one will become master. That's the only behavior I am aware of. I know you are working on a manual (hurry, hurry) which would make things easier. Definitely. Have to return from Scotland, first. For instance, what is the function of the large up/down arrow buttons which show on each device on the device list? I tap them, I tap and hold, but nothing happens. They appear on those devices that have set volume. My only device that has adjustable volume is the Master Bedroom and a volume control appears on that device instead of the up/down large arrows. That's a bug and will be fixed in 1.2.1. The up/down buttons should only appear on devices using IRBlaster and there they do volume. BigTony;471257 Wrote: Ah ... humbug!!!

Unfortunately, the support lines react very slowly at the moment (or don't react at all). So many people end up here... IMHO the Logitech employees in this forum are responsible for the customer reports here and should decide by themselves if a bug report is useful/necessary or other ways of providing help are more promising. I'm quite sure that many people here disagree with my point of view. But did you ever fill in a bug report for your DVD player or similar devices? But to get back to my suggestion: The listed problems did't exist with Squeezenetwork. You're probably right that it's more complicated to maintain 2 services. On the other hand, no problems would have emerged for the users of the old platform. But it's just a suggestion and it would have been even better to provide MySB without bugs. ;) Prove to myself? Two of the five bugs you mentioned applied to me. I lost my podcasts, but was able to restore them by copying the podcast.prefs file from my system backup. Yes, a bug, but easily resolved. I also had problem with MySB login (actually with 7.4 beta a couple days before official release), and that was resolved within 24 hours via email to tech support. I don't use Shoutcast, but I looked and saw that of course you were right, and looked further to see that a Logitech employee had opened a bug report on it. I don't use RSS or SkyFM, but I trust you when you say they have bugs. If you don't think normal users should file bug reports, why do you think normal users should prove bugs that don't affect them? The comparison to a DVD player is off the mark because SBs and SC/SBS are completely different products from DVD players or toasters. Sometimes I do report bugs for other software products (incl Windows, Excel, Firefox), although I don't do it very often because in most cases the message appears to go into a black hole. Normal users are under no obligation to file bug reports. And they are free to complain as loudly as they wish. I happen to think that filing a bug report is a more constructive way to resolve bugs, but I also agree that it's not for everyone. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68947 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

{=; Was I required to have an accent? ;=}
I was just repeating what Slim Devices and Logitech have always told
me, they don't comment on future products. So no accents really needed.
But for my personal opinion, Logitech is a large company and if they
see another area to make money they could move into that market. The
issue I see is that there are already two boxes that work Very well and
I can't see how they can sell them at the price point they are using and
make money. IOW, getting into Video in MHO would be like trying to start
another Dell in the current computer market where one is lucky if one
gets to sale at a 2% margin.
So maybe I should have done what you did and typed it twice accenting
it one way the first time and the other the second because to me its
maybe both. One now and the other later!

OK...background: Snow Leopard 10.6.1, iPod Touch 3.1.1, iPeng 1.2, SqueezeCenter 7.4 4 Slim Devices - 1 Transporter and 3 SqueezeBox Classics. 3 of these are always in sync and have been for the past 6 months: Master Bedroom SqueezeBox, Living Room Transporter, Kitchen SqueezeBox. These three devices were put in sync by using Local 9000 on my iMac. All three devices were 'on'. On iPeng, I went to device list and pushed the edit button top right corner. I then selected 'Master Bedroom', a red circle with checkmark appeared, and then I pushed the 'un-sync' button on the bottom of the screen. (what follows is by memory as I do not wish to cause the sound problem again) Master Bedroom was no longer synced. Living Room and Kitchen were still in sync. I then selected Master Bedroom and then selected Kitchen. I then pushed the 'sync' button on the bottom of the screen and now all three devices were again in sync. Later I turned the Kitchen SqueezeBox off using my Squeeze remote in the kitchen. That caused the sound in the Master bedroom to go off in about 5 minutes but the Master Bedroom was still showing the song that was playing. I then turned the Master Bedroom off using the Squeeze remote. I pushed the Play button on the Squeeze remote and I had sound again. I did the experiment of turning off the Kitchen 3 times and 3 times I lost the sound in theMaster Bedroom. I went to Local 9000 and un-synced everything and then synced the Master Bedroom to the Living Room. Then I synced the Kitchen to the combination 'Master Bedroom, Living Room'. Now when I turn off Kitchen, I do not lose the sound of the Master bedroom. I think the problem is caused by NOT giving me the option to sync my Master Bedroom with the combination 'Living Room, Kitchen' which are already in sync - I have to choose EITHER the Living Room OR the Kitchen because that is what your program offers. This probably interacts badly with the SqueezeCenter software. As I stated before, this is just to let you know of the problem or to give a heads-up to any user with multiple synced devices who mysteriously loses sound. As I leave these three devices always synced, I can always use my computer to change this. I hope this makes sense as I cannot write anymore!

[slim] [ANNOUNCE] Vortexbox 0.9 with FLAC mirror
I released 0.9 a while ago but I just realized I never posted to this forum. There are a lot of cool features in this release many requested by the SqueezeBox community. This is a quick summary. * FLAC to mp3 mirroring through the web GUI. * Backup to USB drive through the web GUI * Built in Simplify Media server with web GUI configuration * Better auto cover art. Using both Amazon and Google images. The most important feature is FLAC mirror. In older versions of VortexBox we were ripping to both FLAC and mp3 as the CDs were ripped. This made the ripping process slower and was inflexible. We now have a menu option FLAC mirror. This allows you to start a mirroring job whenever you want. After you rip all you CDs to FLAC you can start a FALC mirror process. This menu allows you to select the bitrate for mp3 encoding. It then checks for any FLACs that do not have corresponding mp3s. If there is no mp3 for your FLAC the process creates it. FALC mirror also save you time if you want to edit tags. You can edit the tags on your FLACs and run FLAC mirror again. It will go through and update all the tags without having to re-encode the mp3s. FLAC mirror will also mirror cover.jpg and any text files you have in with your FLACs. We also added another highly requested feature. USB backup. This allows you to backup your music collection on a USB drive from the web GUI. Once you connect a drive you will be prompted to format it. VortexBox will format the drive NTFS so you can mount it on a windows machine later if you want. You can then start a process to backup your data. Once you have backed up all your data the first time only the changed or new data will be backed up on subsequent backups. Simplify media server is now built in. This allows you to access your music from an iPod touch or a PC anywhere in the world. -- agillis rip, tag, get cover art All you do is insert the CD! http://vortexbox.org agillis Lead Developer VortexBox agillis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21140 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69689 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Why so many rude comments?
Pat, you are once again completely correct. I just can't keep from typing sometimes especially when somebody doesn't even own and has never heard the product they are bashing (and they are whining about the price and they own a Bose Wave Radio for crying out loud). I totally agree with iPhone's post. Radio is great for kitchen, bathroom, small bedroom bedside cabinet. It's better than most bedside alarm clocks with mono (or even stereo) speakers that I've ever tried. I was initially sceptical that I would find a use for Radio, since I had a Boom put to those sort of uses, and thought I'd dislike an iffy mono device. But really, it's fine. Actually, better than fine - it's great! My wife has accepted it (via setting up some presets for her) in the kitchen. She finds it easy to use, small, cute. It fits in much better for the kitchen, and we don't miss the stereo imaging. It's benefits are that it is small, cheaper, has a nicer user interface, and for it's intended purpose, the sound is great. I have a Transporter in the lounge, adjoining the kitchen which homes a Radio, which adjoins study which is home to a Boom. All players are synced together. Obviously, the Transporter on the Hifi system sounds the best, but that's not the point. The Radio fills the gap when I move through from the Lounge to the Study via the kitchen And the Bose Wave Radio is utterly crap for the price. My father-in-law has one, but I let him off as he's in his 80's. I can't believe someone else bought one though. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Why so many rude comments?
if one gets the battery too, supposedly a big selling point, then is the $50 saved worth it? They also get a dedicated volume knob (oppposed to the complicated, confusing nature of the Booms dedicated volume up/down button AND sometimes the big navigation knob), and a colour LCD screen, which shows better screen info (eg. album artwork, nicer weather display, clock, etc). It's a different kind of product - I wouldn't compare a $50 difference solely on Mono/Stereo speaker arrangement. Would you pay an extra $50 to wear a grandfather clock on your wrist because it has a better clock face? ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Thanks Bob http://www.shoplinksys.com/Media-Hub-Storage_stcVVcatId543892VVviewcat.htm http://www.shoplinksys.com/Home-Audio-Devices_stcVVcatId544640VVviewcat.htm the appeal to anyone is based on the individual. in my case, the HQ hardware that excelled at sound reproduction, via a stereo. a second and almost as important consideration for me was the ability to listen without a computer on. another difference between SB and the products you mention is the focus on audio handling and services. how your music is presented and manipulated, and/or using 3rd party servics like pandora. chances are future SBS development will include DLNA/upnp [soon] and video [later] but the orig idea of the SB was to focus on perfect audio to multiple clients via one server. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 sbc (my home) / sbr (parent's home) - w/sc 7.3.4b - win xp pro sp3 ie8 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - 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=69635 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] 7.4 web ui album art?
In 7.4, the web UI doesn't seem to show album art thumbnails in the left panel when using the default view (or any of the other views I've tried). Is this functionality just gone? No, should work as before. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
