Re: [slim] Some Flac files play choppy / stop playing
Hello , Thanks for the reactions. I suspect my files to be off in the specific cases. I will keep an eye open for better versions. I will try to find out what the specific FLAC coded version is on these files. For FreeNAS I have uploaded the latest SBS version, FreeNAS shows the files as v.7.5.1, but SBS itself quotes: v.7.5.0 r30464. Interesting? What my specific interest in this case is; is that the LAME processing influences the problematic file streaming. I an curious if some others share this, can test this, and what this means. But if version 7.6 has all new codecs and solves all problems, this question is moot.

[slim] Selecting multiple squeecenters / squeezenetwork

ScHenk, I had flac files of an album that I had acquired that exhibited the problems you describe. My SB3 would stutter and then jump to the next track. Fully reproducable. I could play the files perfectly with the MusicIP player and Foobar. I checked the files with dbPoweramp and it showed that they had been encoded with flacuda#91.

Re: [slim] Any jazz music lovers ?
I think knowing sidemen is valuable, since I am often interested in knowing all the performers in a jazz track (e.g., play all of the tracks where Mel Lewis is the drummer), it would be nice to have a good place to put all of them along with the instrument they are playing. Note that these may be different than the main artists (e.g., Thad Jones and Mel Lewis orchestra or the Miles Coltrane CD). I embedded the performers in a new performer field, and the instrument information in the comment and then used CustomBrowse to create some nice menus, which have made playing Jazz a pleasure for me. There are a lot of other ways to accomplish this, maybe even with existing tags (e.g., put main artists in BAND and performers in ARTIST), but IMO the functionality needs to be included.

Could you explain why you want the instrument.
I suspect most musicians (including jazz musicians) only play a single
instrument ?
So do you really want to know that Mel Lewis is the drummer or would it
be enough to know that Mel Lewis is participating ?
I was thinking that it might be useful to just be able to specify the
main instruments that contributes to the characteristics of the music.
So you for example can find jazz tracks with a saxophone.

Don't worry about tags, we plan to have a user interface where you can
manage the metadata, so we aren't limited to what can be put inside
tags. It's more a question about how much metadata it's realistic that
users are willing to setup. Import possibilities from good metadata
sites will of course make it little bit easier.
