The TrackStatiTunesUpdate.pl script can be found in

You can find the location of the Cache directory in SBS

To run it you need perl to be installed, on Windows this means that you
need to install Community Edition of ActiveState perl:

Re: [slim] Main diffs between pre-Logitech and post-Logitech hardware?

I think Erland summarized it well, but if you want to compare pre/post Logitech acquisition you should also know that the dividing line is rather fuzzy. The SB3 and Transporter were the last two products sold by Slim Devices, and the Duet was the first in the SB line by Logitech. I understand that work on the Duet, and possibly the Boom, was underway before the acquisition, but how much (25%? 50%? 85%?) isn't widely known.

Boom is functionally almost as SB3/2 . Afaik SqueezePlay/SqueezeOS was was begun with the duet project for the controller . I don't know if slimdevices already was sold when the project was initialized . But most of the old staff was still around so a fuzzy line or you could call it continuity .

[slim] Old laptop as Squeezebox player playing 96 and beyond?
I have been a happy user of a Duet running into an Esoteric K-03 as DAC. Since the Duet is not 96 and above capable, I have been toying with setting up a CAS with an old laptop with Foobar with Wasapi and KS support (the Esoteric is 192/24 capable through its USB as well). On top of running into all kinds of set-up issues, I have not been fond of the Foobar remote control software. The Squeezebox controller and Squeezebox app on Android operates far better. Now, I am thinking about (if indeed possible) using that old laptop (a core solo U1300 cpu, Win 7 Sony laptop) as a Squeezebox, with music streamed from my Squeezebox server and output from the laptop via USB (using high speed async mode), and using the controller to control it. After reading through threads around the net, it seems that there are softwares that can have a pc emulate an SB. Would Squeezeslave be the right thing? Does it support 96 or 192? Do these software allow output via USB async mode?

Re: [slim] Old laptop as Squeezebox player playing 96 and beyond?
There is a special version of SqueezePlay that can do it ( search the forum ) made by another forum member, none of the other soft players can . Or get a Squeezebox Touch it does 24/96 and you can still use your controller with it if you fancy that. The server would down convert the 96 content just as I does with the 48 content today for your duet receiver . If your server is capable of transcoding this will be ok . However you might find that there is no audible difference doing any of this, don't be surprised that is the expected result if the esoteric DAC is of proper design ( not a NOS dac or any other abomination ). -- Mnyb Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
