Re: [slim] Slacker Premium Radio
When you read through a bug report like the one below, you can't help but think that Logitech has totally thrown in the towel on Squeezebox. http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17157 A MAJOR bug that makes the Sirius service all but unusable for many people. Logitech blames Sirius and closes the bug instead of attempting to do anything about it, including working with Sirius to see what may be wrong. -- JJZolx JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87771 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Slacker Premium Radio
Is there a single premium music service that Logitech actually _does_ support fully? Or a service that doesn't have major bugs that Logitech tosses off as being on the service provider's side? Logitech puts in minimal effort into adding cursory support for a service, adds a few bullet points to their marketing materials, then washes their hands of supporting it beyond keeping it from becoming totally broken. -- JJZolx JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87771 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Yes it does in interactive mode you can press and hold forward and the display changes to Code: Time: 22:55 / -2:40:24 [## ] you can then use rewind/forward to scroll to a point in time for the playing stream, when you release the key the stream continues at the new offset These are the IR codes I'm talking about.

Re: [slim] Non Logitech squeezebox alternative
I saw this too. My thoughts. I don't want a DLNA-only audio player. I'm very happy with the richness of squeezebox for audio and specifically I like the central config/integration for the mysqueezebox.com services. I certainly WOULD like the ability to run other apps on a similar radio/boom/touch hybrid device. Looking at the archos, It sure looks like it's got a camera built-in... Imagine all the other cool things you could do if your 'squeezebox' could run android apps including skype, hulu, netflix... oh, and you could throw in a google TV client and I might just use find a use for it. I'd be very interested in an android-based radio successor with stereo, similar battery, and a large touch display... I'd probably buy SIX. With a built-in camera, in addition to skype, you could do local video chat, baby monitor, security cameras... -Ross -- rcampbel3 rcampbel3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38284 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88462 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Checking the specs... it supports FLAC. Not bad. But the speakers are merely described as "2 built-in High Definition Speakers".
