[slim] N band Wireless
Am just moving to a new house where I will have a wireless N band router. I have a Duet and a Radio (and previously had a G band router). Will the SBoxes work automatically on the N band or will I need to make any adjustments to the router? Also, as the point of having N band is to increase range (to reach to the bottom of the new garden) is there any way of 'upgrading' the Radio to work on the stronger N band?

Re: [slim] N band Wireless
N routers, at least the ones with 3 antennas, do multipath, so I imagine those would help with G clients. If you need N, and I'd assume you need it for the range as you certainly don't need the data rate for a SB, you can get a dd-wrt capable router that does N, install dd-wrt, put it into 'bridge' mode, and wire it to your SB. -- bobkoure bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86367 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] N band Wireless
At this point I don't understand why they don't incorporate 802.11n into the Squeezebox line. It isn't all that more expensive, and pretty mature by now. I have a SBR on the way, and am running only 802.11n my Wi-Fi network (all my other SQ units are hard wired), so I'm going to have to fire up the G radio in the gateway.

Yes all existing sb models was designed before the N standard was finalized . So all that existed then was N-draft hardware. I assume that if a new product was designed they consider it.

Re: [slim] Help with modifying convert.conf file
You will probably want to look at task manager (or whatever equivalent for Windows 7) to try to see what's going on. One thing this change does is that ALL streams will now be transcoded. For example, I believe even a 44.1kHz MP3 will get sent through LAME and transcoded to 44.1kHz. I think LAME is smart enough to determine this is a trivial process, since when I looked at resources, this case runs LAME, but it doesn't use many resources when compared to a real transcode (from 48kHz to 44.1, for example). Look for a LAME process or a sox process when running a stream. -- tcutting tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86310 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] MusicIP and multiple genre tags
I've been using multiple genre names in a single GENRE tag with a separator. One of the downsides is that MusicIP does not understand separators, so if you have a no Christmas music filter, it'll only work to filter out tracks that have a single element in the genre tag: Christmas, as MuicIP sees Christmas;Jazz as the genre Christmas;Jazz - and that's not a match. It turns out that it's really easy to convert separated labels in a single tag to multiple tags with MP3Tag. Go to \Convert\Actions, create a new action group. Add a new action in that group, pick the action split fields by separator, enter tag GENRE and the separator you've been using. Click OK, then make sure the checkbox to the left of your new action group is checked, and clicking 'OK' will tun it against any tracks you've selected. You can do entire directories recursively. SBS appears to do fine with multiple genre tags. MusicIP does, well, almost fine. First off, the current (last) version (1.9 beta) does NOT clobber any of the multiple tags when archiving analysis. (Yes, an earlier version had an issue, which is why I'm only getting back to multiple tags now). -However- it only sees the first tag, so if you've got a MusicIP filter, make sure you've arranged the tags to the one you're filtering on comes first. If you have a lot of tags to swap, it'll probably be easier to do it while they're in a single tag. So... a slight bit of extra functionality out of a defunct product. Hope this helps somebody. I sure wish Logitech would just buy/licence the MusicIP tech and incorporate it into SBS so everybody gets to enjoy it. -- bobkoure bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86383 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
