Re: [slim] Letter of concern: Too many different players..?
Let me just say that I consider new firmware as an integral part of a Squeezebox Server software release (as they almost always go hand in hand). So my concern is just as much related to firmware releases. That said; I'm not THAT concerned! I'm just stating a point that I think should be considered by the Logitech Squeezebox leaders. I'm NOT saying that any of the alternatives above should be considered. Maybe JUST steps to ensure (keep/develop) the right STAFF (quantity, quality AND enthusiasm) should be considered?

Especially if you are one of the folks that claim that LPs sound better than CDs.

The CD seduced me with its lack of need for voodoo cleaning, alignment, etc. There may actually be some validity to the claim of the vinylphiles, but to me, give me a Transporter playing FLAC anyday for serious listening, or a Boom, Radio or Duet for nice sounding if less serious stuff.

Let me be clear: I would not have bought all the products you see in my sig line unless I loved the concept and potential and on 99.99% of the time execution on the product. I remain a big fan of the concept. I have always irrationally loved playing music of my historically very reliable SB3s (I did some nightly beta stuff in 6.x, but have not since, sorry, I have a stressful day job and have interests on the side). My meltdown is something that happens when you get in the way of my self-rewarding ego and its ability to get a music fix. Sorry. But not really. It *is* an emotional area for some of us, which is why we came to pick quality products early on.

Re: [slim] I officially declare my HATE for 7.4...
I'm glad to see that you've calmed down. I was extermemly frustrated when I purchased the Duet a little over a year ago. I really felt let down, escpecially since I went out of my way to sing the product's praises! I got over it and didn't let it kill my enthusiasm for the product. I'm just more cautious now with SW releases that I'll install. I will also not jump onto any new hardware products - especially since I don't need any at this point. Given your situation, pehaps you should evaluate your need for using mySB. Given what I've read here, I have no plans to move to 7.4 - I don't have the time and I'd much rather spend my time enjoying my many recent music purchases :-). I was concerned though that I'd lose the use of Slacker, which my kids listen to a lot. I can still access it even though I'm running 7.3.3 - I just access it via "services" rather than by switching my player to mySB (or whatever it's called now).

Re: [slim] I officially declare my HATE for 7.4...
The problem with 7.4.0, it seems, is that it is still a beta release but delivered as a semi-mandatory "stable" upgrade. And that was a mistake. If it had been optional, and there had been a warning, I would have no right to overly complain. Since it was forced upon me given the fact I have hisotrically used mySB.com, heck, I can be bitter. And when the solution is "hey, go to 7.4.1, which is a *true* beta nightly, you know that there is a weird release situation going on. Since I initiated the topic, I also need to say I have calmed down. I understand the pressure the developers are on and all, and I want them to know I carry no personal gurdge against them whatsoever. But also, as customer since 2005, I have never knocked a device against a wall in frustration. The SB3 now has a little dent and a few scratches as a result of a silly momentary overreaction that only affects me in the end. But I think caution is advisable as 8.0 and the Touch and more aggressive schedules loom to get ready for Xmas...

What's that about? I'm not sure where the 'ABR' and 'VBR' come from, but what you're probably seeing is a the bitrate of the Apple Lossless file (1021 kbps) and the resulting FLAC file/steam at 705.6. The 705.6 number, though, is a little suspect, as it's exactly 1/2 of the uncompressed PCM streaming rate of 1411.2 kbps. I posted recently in another thread that the bitrate (in kbps) for lossless files is computed by: file_size_in_bytes * 8_bits_per_byte / track_time_in_seconds / 1000 The 1411.2 kbps number mentioned in the first post above is the streaming rate of PCM, so I would assume FLAC streaming was disabled at the time. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69373 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I would not be so mush surprised if Duet and some other troubling products would be removed from the market, sorry, replaced by more advanced ones and all "investment" weve made into our audio-live will buried in the dust. Looking on the differences in the architecture and solutions - it looks like it may happen - too many and too radical changes are happening. And - many people were reporting problems. Who of us was followed by the development with the request and clarified the set-up, parameters and other staff? No one, may be few. This was in good old time, when it was a community product. Unless they have a direct access to each device - I would be glad it is a case and all problems are resolved after some time without any touch to the remote. This would be a great thing! Lets hope that Logitech is really working hard on resolving what needs to be resolved and will not dump Duet and will surprise us with the solution we like and are proud again.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] iPeng 1.2 for iPhone now on the AppStore
vagskal;471456 Wrote: > Cache flushed, but the behaviour persists. Yup, that's the issue I've always been having with iPeng and SC 7-7.3. Exactly :-) And cache flushing does not help. With SS 7.4.1 I do not seem to experience this - which is really nice! I do however, still feel that the app is a bit slow on my configuration (Mac Mini, 1.25 GHz, music collection in 256 bit AAC format), even though the UNIX command "top" indicates at least 20% idle time even during the most demanding "search'es". In generally my CPU load according to the TOP command increases shortly when pulling a lot of data from iPeng (especially if I do a MusicIP Mix), load does however not exceed 80% and it immediately drops back to 5-15%, which is the normal load when just playing music. On the iPhone iPeng is still showing "Loading..." long time after the peak. It eventually finishes a few seconds later - but it makes it feel slow. But it is MUCH better with 7.4 than it was before.

Do your testing using the Windows Accessory Recorder - if you can get Recorder to work then it is usually possible to get WaveInput to work. Using Recorder is easier for testing as you will not have to stop/restart SC if you make conf changes. Did you read the Wiki entry on trouble shooting ? -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69990 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] I officially declare my HATE for 7.4...
Pascal Hibon? you've brought valid point. It was the same for me. I've evaluated Squeeze Philosophy against Sonos and some others, coming to the market. It is exactly the Philosophy and the ideas and community behind were main selling points for me as well, but now it raises concern about the way how rapidly software market and its good products are sliding to "ship and forget" way of dealing with customers. Logitech is a great company - they know how to make good products and how to deliver them to the market. It just looks like the target group for Duet and some other new in the family is a bit different to what Logitech used to have - this may be an issue and may require a learning curve. I really hope that Product management is reading this forum, at least time-to tome. and it is correct: Christmas is coming - it should be perfect by that time, otherwise it may be a big problem afterwards. Net-Radio and music definitely take off - and Logitech wants to be at the market maker area. -- AndreE Duet: 2 Controllers and 4 Receivers 1R: -> DENON AVR-3806 -> 7 speakers + 2 Sub 2R: -> DENON PMA-700 -> 2 Canton speakers 3R: -> Sony Music Center 4R: -> 2 Active Speakers Yamaha HS80M + Sub Plan: +2 Receivers and + 1 Controller [unfortunately on freeze due to product instability after to move to 7.4.0] Linux Intel Atom 330 based Server - [not completely configured yet] Connection via 6.Cat wired Ethernet to 1Gb net Switch, than Router via DSL to the net... no WiFi at all AndreE's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30476 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69945 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
