Re: [slim] External display for Transporter, Touch?
I thought you might be interested in reading this web page: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70838referrerid=20721 From, c3p0 I have now moved on to using vortexbox, so currently not running momento frame to display album art but it was an interesting project, as an aside also hooked up my laptop to the head phone output of my amp and using some music ID software was able to identify any music, cd, vinyl, squeezebox and display it too. There are some really cheap webrowser tablets out there that do wifi but are pretty poor compared to ipad so hence much cheaper ( 70-120) for 7 inch and above that would access the squeezebox HTML file.

[slim] Logitech Transporter issue
Hello I own a Logitech Transporter. Works fine, but there's one thing I wonder about ... When in standby, it creates a small sound that lasts for a brief second. Sometimes two in a row, before it goes 20-30 seconds till next time. I can hear this from 4-5 meters and it is quite annoying. Hard to explain the sound, but it is no digital piipsound. Clearly, a sound that should not be there ... Anybody got any suggestions? -- sebadoh sebadoh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40046 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84738 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Sometimes they are with computers, sometimes with the iPod docks, sometimes in home theatre, sometimes with boom boxes I know what you mean, it is the same here. Having said that you can usually find the Radio. Because of its name it can usually be found among, wait for it, the section with all the radios in it. If you are lucky you can find the Boom there as well. However I have yet to find a Currys, Comet or PC World (Best Buy's UK equivalents) that stock's either the Touch or Duet (even though you can buy them on their web site), let alone the Transporter. They are products that most people simply do not understand. When friends come round for dinner and see me using the Controller the usual comment is how are you getting your iPod to play music through your hi-fi. Well at least it is a conversation starter :) The UK has a bit of a head start over the US here as we have DAB digital radio. This gives us a hundred or so digital radio stations, but it is a power hungry and expensive technology so people are accustomed to paying around £100 for a radio you can only plug in - or with limited battery life. It also means the portable radio section of these stores is quite large - so the Radio fits in well. I think internet radios are just beginning to reach the public conciousness, so I reckon the Radio will be most users introduction to the SqueezeBox line. I have a friend who has just found, and become hooked on, Spotify. He now wants to liberate it from his laptop and headphones. He already has a good wireless router so I have recommended he try the Radio. Knowing him, I have little doubt he will own at least two before too long, and maybe even a Touch. -- TheLastMan Matt *SqueezeBoxes:* SB Duet (Controller + two receivers) *Server:* Synology Diskstation 107+ NAS (with firmware 2.3-1157) running Squeezebox Server 7.5.1 on Synology Package Manager *Network:* Netgear DG834GT ADSL modem/router, 2 x Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 as access points *Livingroom:* Receiver into Naim 42/110 amp, BW CM2 speakers *Kitchen:* Receiver into Denon DM37 mini-system, BW 686 speakers *Study:* Linn LP12, Naim 72/Hi-cap/Headline.

Dedicated iPhone, iPod Touch and Android applications that let you browse music and create playlists over a wi-fi or cellphone connection. 2. The ability to download playlists of tracks onto an iPhone, iPod Touch or Android phone and play the music off line. I am not sure if there is a limit to the number of tracks you can download. These are DRM protected tracks, so you can only listen to them on the one device - you cannot transfer or copy them. This makes the music totally portable for the car or where you do not have cell-phone or wi-fi connection. This is the Napster killer feature in my book. 3. Tracks are encoded at 320 kbps (IIRC Napster is 192). 4. A *Much* more user-friendly web interface (I have not tried the SB app so cannot comment on that). Er... thats it.

I have an iTouch, so I'm not sure about an Android phone, but it should be similar. I've just done this: streaming Spotify using the Spotify App on my SB touch, and playing downloaded Spotify playlists on my iTouch in offline mode. The tracks are downloaded to your phone, and stored there, so if you play them offline, Spotify have no means of knowing this. If I stream Spotify on my SB Touch, and start the Spotify app on my iTouch whilst it is online, then the streaming to my SB Touch stops and a warning informs me that Spotify has been stopped because your account is being used elsewhere.

Re: [slim] Logitech Transporter issue
No, you're running the latest release - including the improvements made a long time ago [in this area]. Are we positively sure this is the cause? Try putting your ear close to the TP itself, and listen. As you say, hard to describe - but it should be distinguishable mechanical. If you're never heard it before now, its because you haven't noticed. It will run the degaussing-procedure from time to time - e.g. always on startup (but also at other times, I believe.

Or is your problem that you erroneously created a playlist - but then tap an album and the playlist gets cleared?
