Re: [slim] Human Resource
How to manage a vacation tracking software? Creating an employee leave system is the most appropriate way of tracking leave benefits given to employees. It helps to manage time sheets and leave without interfering with other human resource information. The leave system manages annual leaves, personal leaves, sick leaves, vacation, state family leave, PTO, MLA, workmans compensation leave, bereavement leave and professional leave. The system automatically adds up leave over periods including practical periods such as semi-monthly, monthly, quarterly, annually, weekly, bi-weekly or even hourly. Leave management systems gives the employers the ability to confidently and accurately answer employee questions relating to leaves and vacations. It doesnt have offline running feature, you must have to be always online for using this software. commonoffice -- common759 common759's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90394 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I was simply asking why you would change this to stream 10 lots of WAV over the network instead of 10 lots of FLAC - you seem to be going to some trouble for zero benefit (and potentially network bandwidth issues, although that may not affect you).

From the available data, very few people on the planet can reliably tell the difference between streamed 320kbs mp3 and flac. Of those, only a very tiny percentage even claim to be able to hear any difference between an SB playing streamed flac or streamed WAV... and their case is not borne out by any available measurement techniques. You are playing these files in mono. That's going to have a much bigger impact on the sound quality than the streaming format in some cases. Just monoing (via cables or SOX) stereo files into mono will seriously mess up some of them (i.e. the ones with out-of-phase l/r components - many tracks from 1967-75 can surprise you).

Ok so I was a bit too quick to say it was working completely because now I've found a little glitch and I'm back again wondering if anyone can help. It's a minor irritation but an irritation nonetheless. The script is playing music without issue but for some reason there's no gapless playback after the first played track. Strangely gapless seems to work fine for later tracks but whenever I select a new album or a new track (rather than continuing from one track to the next) it doesn't. For example, if I play track 1 of an album, there is a gap after track 1 going into track 2 but there is no gap between 2 and 3, 3 and 4, 4 and 5, etc. Similarly if I start on track 3 there is a gap between 3 and 4 but none between 4 and 5, 5 and 6, and so on.

Pretty lightweight, so it launches quickly and resizing, cropping, and adjusting things like contrast and brightness are easy. I'd seriously reconsider resizing to 300x300 unless you need those images to be loaded onto a portable with very little memory. Even if you're embedding them into MP3 files, a 200kB image is a fraction of a 5MB MP3 file.

To answer the first, it's because there is a major BUG in the handling of embedded artwork. Which, apparently, nobody is any closer to figuring out. 2. As to the second question, I've asked the same thing myself. The plan for artwork is that embedded artwork could be used for individual track art (for the five or six people on the planet who care about such things), while cover/folder.jpg files would always be used for album artwork. This is the bug report that is a catch all for the rework of artwork handling planned sometime in the future.

Re: [slim] MonkeySqueeze
Arghhh Found a mistake in the 110912Beta which would stop the NAS settings from working. Have replaced with 110912Beta with 110917Beta which will definitely work. Sorry for any inconvenience, version control needs to be reviewed. http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19t=59907 -- Gingernut63 Gingernut63 MonkeySqueeze - Squeezing music into your life! http://twitter.com/#!/MonkeySqueeze1 Gingernut63's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48490 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89046 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
