My wife doesn't like that in iPeng so won't happen in SqueezePad regardless of whether the whole other world is using this concept *g*. Anyway - there will be playlists and better player management even without swiping. Oh yes, and shuffle / repeat buttons wouldn't hurt either I had a short informal poll on the other thread about that some time ago. Most people said they hardly change those settings at all ... and for the rare times they needed it, it was good enough to have those options in the Settings menu (where you can change shuffle/repeat also with the current version of SqueezePad). So - if you use it often that you think having direct buttons are needed than at least I'd like to know your usage pattern. -- bluegaspode Big Screen for great Boxes available now at your AppStore: *'Squeezebox + iPad = SqueezePad ' (www.squeezepad.com) *!

Re: [slim] VortexBox reviewed in Hi-Fi Choice magazine
We can all see his short coming, Technology! The reviewer didn't even investigate that with VB one doesn't need to know Linux. One doesn't use a CLI with VB unless one wants to. One uses the built in WebUI with all the shares on auto-detect. I know enough Linux to use a server version but I don't because VB makes it so easy to move my files from my MACs and Windows PCs with the built-in WebUI. I guess the reviewer didn't both to check what support was available from the Manufacture, the Vortexbox website, and Forum. One simple glance at the first support pages shows even the most computer OS illiterate person that no knowledge of Linux or use of CLI is needed. Simple easy instructions that only require the use of a keyboard on another PC on the network. Basically, one sets up the VB and forgets it. All interaction can be from any PC on the Network if one choices especially if one is ripping with something like dBpowerAmp on a Windows PC. He is basically a poor reviewer when it comes to equipment he doesn't use or understand.

Re: [slim] Can I make my PC a SB device
Porschefan;571558 Wrote: I installed Squeezeplay on my main desktop which is also running SBS ... The audio quality, however, really suffered. You might try squeezeslave. It runs in a DOS window (or as a service on XP - possibly on v and 7). One interesting thing about squeezeslave is that there's an ASIO version - this outputs directly to an ASIO sound device and doesn't go through Window's direct sound mixer. IMO, the easiest /cheapest way to get an ASIO sound device is a Behringer UCA202, which connects via USB and has RCA stereo and SPDIF outputs. You should be able to use the standard squeezeslave, though, and not get suffering sound. Maybe think about ASIO as an upgrade. The UCA's around $30. -- bobkoure bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81377 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Squeezeplay/Softsqueeze for Android
I already have Squeeze Commander for my Android smartphone (HTC Hero) which enables me to control all the squeezeboxes in the house but at the moment I have no way to plug headphones in to the phone and listen to music via Squeezebox server. It occurred to me software player could be written for Android which would stream from Squeezebox server and play via the built-in audio. I am not sure if the Android screen is close to any of the other displays but actually an application with no display at all would be fine as the existing Squeeze Commander application would be able to control it. Other than that I now have a squeezebox classic at my desk for headphone listening and the sound quality is so much better than from the PC's integrated sound card. -- Fozzy Fozzy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8592 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81525 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The iPad will be just sitting on a table for others to view and perhaps mess around with. So I was thinking the shuffle and repeat buttons would be useful. But that also brings up another point, is there a way a party mode could be implemented that allows people limited functionality unless they input a password?

Re: [slim] Start on one Squeezebox; continue on another
I often using synchronisation to transfer the music from one room to another. There is a slight break when you first turn on synchronisation but after that all is fine. As an example I can be listening to something on the boom is the bedroom and then add the classic downstairs in the lounge as a sync slave whereupon, as long as the classic is turned on, they start playing the same thing and either box can control playback. If I then turn off the boom the classic downstairs continues to play. I don't have any of the newer squeezeboxes that can directly control another squeezebox other than via synchronisation and I don't know the iPhone application. I do have the SqueezeCommander Android application though which can control all the squeezebox including turning them on and off, editing the playlists, managing synchronisation etc. so the API is there on Squeezebox Server to do this which means if the iPhone application doesn't do it already it could do with some development. -- Fozzy Fozzy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8592 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81468 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
