Re: [slim] Moving from Wirelss to Wired
Thanks for the replies. Now I just need to decide exactly which devices I want wired. I have never had any problems with the squeezebox wireless connections using a Dlink DWL-2000AP+ Which I now try and keep exclusive for Squeezebox devices.

Re: [slim] multiple network modems networked access same squeezebox?
If those are outdoor rated cat5e cables that is a reasonable price at $87. As long as all of your routers/WiFi's/repeaters are all setup to be on the same network then you can certainly utilize the Touch's inbuilt server (or LMS server) residing on that same network. toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95290 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Both air802 spools i link to above say cat-e but i don't see the difference between the one for $10 cheaper so i guess ill get the one. leif's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38372 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95290 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] How do you want to create/manage playlists ?
1. What kind of device would you like to use when creating the playlists ? Computer or tablet 2. How do you decide what should be part of a playlist ? - By selecting the individual tracks you want to include - By automatically selecting 100 tracks that matches some search criteria (genre, ratings, ...) 3. How do you decide which order the tracks should have in the playlist ? - Random ordered tracks - Drag and drop tracks to put them into the right order 4. What's the most frustrating limitation with SBS/LMS playlist management today ? - That it's too hard to reorder tracks in existing playlists - It's to hard to delete tracks from existing playlists - There is no native smartlist or genius capability, a core feature of *any music software today* 5. What kind of device would you like to use when modifying existing playlists ? - A computer - A tablet 6. What kind of modifications do you usually do on already existing playlists ? - Reorder tracks in the playlist - Remove tracks, albums or artists from the playlist - Add new tracks, albums or artists to the playlist All of the above. erland wrote: To anyone that currently uses static playlists: 1. How many static playlists do you have for your library ? 2. Is a static playlist typically something you make, use for a single event/party and deletes afterwards ? 3. Is a static playlist typically something you make once and never change afterwards ? 4. Can you give some examples of static playlists which you currently have and use continuously ? (name + when you use them) I don't really use any truly static playlists. I use J. River Media Center to generate, update, and export a number of smartlists which I use in conjunction with SQL Playlists/Dynamic playlists for certain kinds of mixes. Some examples: Fast songs/slow songs (based on BPM intensity), songs we both like (based on a custom tag and ratings), recently imported, instrumentals. I also have several hand-picked but evolving playlists that I am always adding to. For example: Harmonica songs (since I am learning harmonica), Pool party, bedroom music, wake-up songs. For the most part Philip Meyer's Playlist Manager plugin works well for adding to these, but I wish it had the ability to automatically reject duplicates and a function to remove songs from a playlist since sometimes I fat finger and accidentally put something in the wrong list--then I have to go on the computer to fix the mistake.

Re: [slim] How do you want to create/manage playlists ?
Sue is rigth . Smart playlist is dearly missing as core feature . I use the dead and buggy MIP in conjunction with sugercube it works sort off after a great deal of fuzzing around with stuff that would turn away 99.98% off end users, an official MIP replacement is needed. And it should be a core feature . An optional idea would be if such smart list function could have a setting to also include tracks from your configured services in the playlist at a rate you choose, you seed a track that builds a list from you own files but you have a setting to include for example 25% tracks from spotify that are similar but don't exist in your own library :) Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94988 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
