Re: [slim] SqueezePad vs iPeng vs Squeezecast
If you wish to have music playback on the iPad you can only choose between Squeezepad and Squeezecast. Since Squeezepad has music plaback integrated, Squeezecast is no more an alternative, because Squeezepad can do everything that Squeezecast can do ... and much more! If you don't need music playback on the iPad you can choose between iPenq and Squeezepad. In my eyes the decision between those two apps depends more on personal taste than on functionality. Have a look at the gui and the feature list and take your decision. -- mule mule's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30049 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84262 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Library rescanned automatically?
I too have noticed occasional auto rescans, even though I have turned scheduled auto rescans off (which I confirmed, and the time if on would be 10 am), in my settings. I now run SBS 7.5.3 but had the same experience in 7.5.1. Yesterday I found the SBS rescanning my playlists two different times unprompted (a few hours apart) in the afternoon. Both times playlists disappeared as i was searching for them on the web interface, and then I noticed a rescan (for changes) was in progress. I have been making some changes to some album tags on some new music in my iTunes library (Mac OS 10.5.8), but see no reason for a rescan. I don't use MusicIP. Any ideas on what might be causing these unprompted rescans? Erland, could SQL or Dynamic Playlists plug-ins (which I have active but have not been using) somehow trigger this?

[slim] Recognizing FLAC files outside iTunes library
Hi gang. I'm new to this forum. I just purchased a Squeezebox touch and have a config. question that I cannot find the solution to. I have my Squeeebox config'd. to use iTunes integration. This is working fine. My music folder is selected as /Users/name/Music/iTunes. However, I have several Hi-res FLAC files that I would also like to play. These obviously cannot be copied into the iTunes library. How can I get the Squeezbox to see these selections? Do I have to copy the content MANUALLY (NOT using iTunes) into the iTunes directory?

Re: [slim] Recognizing FLAC files outside iTunes library
I've done this with some FLAC's. The easiest way would be to go into the iTunes folder, then iTunes Music and make a new folder and call it FLAC or whatever. Then copy the FLAC folder/files into that folder. Then do a rescan. That's what worked for me. The folder won't mess with iTunes, but keep a copy of the files outside of iTunes as a back-up. You might have to do a clear rescan, but I'd try the look for new and changed scan first, since it's faster.

Re: [slim] best remote?
Unlikely another controller would be significantly faster if you use the Touch as a server (it has pretty optimized queries, similar to the ones in 7.6 so that iPeng doesn't have a performance penalty over the controller). The one thing I don't understand is the thing about add and play next and hold. What exactly are you doing? In iPeng you don't have to hold a track to do that if you use the play modes (see Help-Quick Tutorials-Albums and Playlists in iPeng). That's considerably faster than e.g. The controller where you _do_ have to go through the context menu for add and play next. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84285 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] It's Dead Jim :'(
The exact same thing happened to me. One day my SB3 worked. The next day it appeared totally dead. Removing the wireless card didn't help either. I have an Apple Airport Express card which I've used as a wireless extender. I connected it to my stereo and, by using Apple's free Remote app, can control iTunes with my iphone and again stream music to my stereo. It seems to work fine and for the $3.50 cost of the cable have basically replicated my SB3. (The Airport Express card lists for over $100, but is widely available on eBay for about $60.) -- DAVIDGR DAVIDGR's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4396 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84273 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Problem connecting to Napster and Shoutcast
Same problem here. Connection to Napster is extremely glitchy. Using Ipeng, I get all kinds of unexpected response messages, Gateway timeouts, and intermittent playback. Napster is now pretty much useless through mysqueezebox.com. Given Logitech's response to problems, I'm betting this will be fixed by, say, next Christmas. -- jmsent jmsent's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14156 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84168 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Announcing SqueezePad - the first dedicated iPad App to controll your SqueezeBoxen !
@bluegaspode - It is by no means a deal breaker if you don't support portrait, but IMHO, it would add to the app being polished. When marketing comes over to my desktop and wants my desktop application to work with large fonts turned on (120dpi vs 96dpi) I do what I can to support it because there are users out there who use large fonts in Windows, just like there are users who would prefer portrait. Again, for me it's not a deal breaker. I personally have not purchased a dock just yet, I'm looking at the Altec Landsing dock since it will rotate to landscape. My intended use other than sitting on my couch will be to have it sit on the kitchen counter while I'm entertaining to allow guests to walk up and search for music and add it to the current playlist like a jukebox. So yes, there are times I'll want to leave the iPad docked while playing. I now have three Squeezebox devices (radio, boom and touch) and have been using your application exclusively. You have definitely nailed it! Thanks for listening to my suggestions. -- realcodeguy realcodeguy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41870 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80553 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Differences between SBS 7.5.2 and 7.5.3 / 7.6?
Hi, I'm curious if there's a listing of changes included for the 7.5.3 and 7.6 beta versions, relative to the latest generally available version of SBS. I have an SB3 and a Boom. Native decoding of ALAC would be nice...
