Considering the fact that Spotify has recently partnered up with
Facebook, I'm a bit skeptical how attractive the rather small
Squeezebox market is going to look to them.
But I agree that this is the way to go if you want to get an income
from a central service like mysqueezebox.com, actually I would be
surprised if Logitech isn't financing mysqueezebox.com at least partly
this way already now.

Re: [slim] Playlist menu item missing from devices...
I am also running 7.6.1, but I haven't set Playlists as a top menu item on my ip3k players (SB2, SB3, Boom, etc). What I find strange -- and probably related to your case -- is that Playlists is not even among the items I can add to the home menu via Settings > Player > Menus. So it sounds like a bug to me. A quick search of the bugs database turns up 'Bug 17511' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17511).

[slim] Playlist menu item missing from devices...
I customize menus to include Playlists at the top level of the menu structure. For some reason, this menu item doesn't display on any of my devices (SB3, Transporter & Boom) -- scroll through the top level menu and it just jumps from 'New Music' to 'Pandora'. It's there in the player settings for all of them (yes, I hit apply/save). I do have playlists, and can successfully get them to play from the web and iPhone interfaces. This used to work -- seems to be a bug in 7.6.1? Anyone notice the same thing?

[slim] AOL Radio -
I used to have a number of AOL Radio stations set up as Favorites pointing to the streaming URL http://provisioning.streamtheworld.com/pls/CBS_R20_xxxP_F128.pls where xxx is the stream number for the station. Unfortunately AOL Radio has terminated their partnership with CBS and has now teamed with Slacker. I wouldn't mind this except the Slacker App on mysb.com has not yet added any of these AOL Radio / Slacker stations, and of course the old streaming URLs no longer work. So does anyone have either (1) news on the AOL feeds being added to the Slacker App for the Squeezebox, or (2) a new url I can use to access the AOL Radio feeds?

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] SqueezeCommander 0.9 for Android
Actually I did mean the slider on the NowPlayingScreen. I just tested it and you're right, moving the slider button doesn't move the screen anymore. It does pop into the PlayerServerScreen when I hold my finger on the slider area (trying to make sure I'm hitting the control), so that's why I hadn't realize it had changed (I guess I figured that I was just getting better at hitting the control). But I can probably retrain myself not to do that. On the PlayerServerScreen, the toggle popup Volume control at the bottom solves the problem. I had forgotten about the hardware buttons. They also work.

You mean the volume sliders on the PlayerServerScreen, not on the NowPlayingScreen, right? (The NowPlayingScreen should not be scrollable near the Volume slider anymore.) I already thought about adding Vol+/- buttons to the volume sliders.

Re: [slim] Good Squeezebox alternative?
In my opinion, if Logitech want to charge for plugins/apps then so be it where a commercial option is normally available (eg. Spotify) but charging simply for other 'free' services, such as the BBC, etc. would probably kill off user allegiance. Why pay for something which is free elsewhere? Given the actual production cost of the hardware and the end-user price, then a free aggregator service is the least users can expect. -- castalla 1 Touch - cheap unbranded optical cable - old Sony Microsystem - Acoustics Q10 speakers - 2 duff ears - purrfekt! castalla's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15624 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91090 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The scenario you describe is a nice dream, I would be extremely
surprised if it becomes anything more than that, but the assumption was
that Logitech really would like to abandon it and I'm pretty sure this
is not the case at the moment.
My feeling is that if someone wants to take over mysqueezebox.com it
needs to be done without the help from Logitech, based on my experience
so far I'm very sure Logitech isn't going to help, definitely not as
long as they earn money on Squeezebox products. When they don't earn
any money on the Squeezebox product, someone else have already taken
over the market and there is no point for anyone to take over
mysqueezebox.com.

I completely agree, but it's important to notice that most of
Squeezebox Server has been written by people on Slim Devices or
Logitech's payroll, so open source doesn't mean that it doesn't cost
anything, it just means that it's easier to get small contributions
from external resources.

Sure, but it would require patched firmware as I think the hostname to
mysqueezebox.com is hard coded in the device firmware at the moment.
Which is easy to do on the Radio, Touch but a bit more complex for the
older models.

Unlikely, people are expecting it to be free, they are paying for the
premium services (Spotify, Rhapsody, ...) and mysqueezebox.com just
gives them access to the services without having a local server. Many
mysqueezebox.com users are currently only using the free internet radio
stations reachable through mysqueezebox.com, so they are currently not
paying a dime and probably want it to be free also in the future. Some
people might be willing to pay but most are just going to continue
expecting Logitech to provide it for free.
Of course, it all depends on the annual subscription fee, but I suspect
it's hard to reach enough users who are willing to pay for it to make a
profit.
How many would pay $5 per month for mysqueezebox.com ?
How many would even pay $12 per year for mysqueezebox.com ?
How many are going to pay anything at all as long as Logitech provides
mysqueezebox.com for free (even if it's not as reliable as most people
would like) ?
What will it cost to host a high reliability solution like
mysqueezebox.com ?
How many full time developers are going to be required to get everyone
to pay an annual subscription fee ?
It's probably fairly easy to reach 10% of the users (mostly through
people on this forum), the hard part is to reach the other 90% which
are required to make a profit.
I personally suspect the profit has to come from hardware sales, pretty
much in similar fashion as Logitech handles it at the moment.

If the new third party were seen to be committed to r&d, then would people not be willing to pay a modest annual subscription?, Trev -- gruntwolla Debian sheeva plug running sbs 7.5.4 SB3 + my hifi Duet + AE5's 2 Booms 1 Radio Squeezecommander on htc desire ipeng on wifes iphone gruntwolla's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35645 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91090 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I can't help you with your main problem, but I don't see where having both FLAC and MP3 versions of the tracks forces you into having playlists. Most people, myself included, simply separate the FLACs and the MP3s at the "base" of the folder tree, rather than commingling them in the same folders. If you have some that are MP3-only, that is also easily accommodated via shortcuts or symbolic links. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91131 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I'm not sure if replacing the Volume slider with the Progress slider makes sense, because that would be pretty confusing for the users. (E.g. if you have some players with fixed volume and some without, then your Progress slider is either on top or on bottom of the page, depending on the selected player.) But the last state of the Overlay (with shuffle/repeat/progress slider) is stored now, i.e. if you've opened the Overlay, it will stay open until you close it. Even if you restart SqueezeCommander. -- flattermann Christian Home of 'SqueezeCommander' (http://www.squeezecommander.com) - The SqueezeBox Remote Control App for Android flattermann's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33169 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69352 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SB server will not understand m3u lists
Your playlist folder (setting below music folder in the web interface) is probably not pointing to a folder containing your playlists or subfolders with playlists. Playlists show up empty in that case. Which server version do you use? Generally I'd say set the playlist folder to the same folder as the music folder but there were some versions of SBS which did not like this, 7.6.0, I believe was one. -- 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=91131 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] SB server will not understand m3u lists
SB2: Had this problem before and solved it by downgrading my squeezebox/server to about 6 years ago. Then HAD to upgrade back because I bought iPeng on my iPhone and it needed that. Last week I had a strange problem where my server would not see my player, but the network could still ping it. I solved it by downgrading my ply/srv and then upgrading it again. All worked as before. Today suddenly my server would not see my collection anymore, I could still play radio. Rescanning my collection button (E:\audioserver) was just ignored. It just actually did nothing and srv said to me that my collection was not defined (or similar but just in dutch). I solved this my renaming my collection and pointing it to some subfolder, rescanning, resetting folder and name to previous settings and rescan again. But now: my playlists (which I get to by browsing folders) come up empty again. My playlists are simple m3u files that sit in the same folder as the songs example file "_ListFLAC.m3u": 01 -Myrrhman.flac 02 -Ascension Day.flac 03 -After the Flood.flac 04 -Taphead.flac 05 -New Grass.flac 06 -Runeii.flac I HAVE TO use playlists because my collection contain both flac and mp3 versions of the songs (latter for my ipod) and technology will only advance to the stage where songs by mediaplayers are not played twice in about 200 years I guess. Any suggestions to make the playlists work again please? -- Hans Heintz Hans Heintz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41159 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91131 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

There are nice sites like http://spotimy.co.uk/ http://www.yourspotify.com/ and many more for which I would have to dig out URLs.

You can use it with SqueezeCommander, and it's usable yet slow. But for use with the official Logitech App it's not feasible. I've got one and with the Logitech App it just doesn't work, the old platform is too slow and some things (e.g. loading artwork) just don't work at all. -- 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=91128 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Exchanging spotify playlists
Hi folks, Anyone fancy posting a few Spotify playlist urls here? I've recently started using Spotify again,and thought maybe these forums might be a good place to exchange playlists and find new music that way.

[slim] The perfect Squeezebox remote?
We just got a SonyEricsson Xperia Mini Pro generation II Android phone. Running the official Logitech android app it is just the perfect remote control. I've got two Duet controllers to compare with. The Mini Pro is small enough to carry with you at all times, and it has an excellent keyboard for search etc. The only disadvantage is the screen orientation of the official Logitech android app seems to be portrait exclusively. Would be nice if it went into landscape automatically when opening the keyboard on the Xperia Mini Pro. The previous generation called X10 Mini Pro is on sale everywhere. Quite cheap, and ought to be just as useful, although the screen is plastic. Could be worth the money just as a remote, even if you don't need it as a phone. I'm also hoping the new i'M Watch, which is a Bluetooth and Wifi compatible (at least according to the write ups on various blogs) digital watch running Android 1.6 will be able to run Squeeze Commander on its 240x240 1.54 inch screen. Won't even need a phone to control your Squeezebox anymore. Of course searching will be rather stifling on that device. Now why did I get those two Squeezebox Duet remotes? -- Gadgety1 Gadgety1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33223 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91128 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
