[slim] A big THANK YOU to everyone

2012-09-06 Thread Goodsounds

I want to express my Thank You to everyone who contributed over the
years to the creation and development of the Squeezebox product line. 

I was looking for CD changers/jukebox type arrangements and had found
nothing suitable, then I found you. It was love at first sight. Your
system changed my life and my home in ways and to an extent I never
could have imagined. 

I think some people are deserving of special thanks. The names I know
are ones who have had the most visibility here, like Michael, Andy, Ben,
(and I'm sorry, I know there are others).  These guys all cared enough
to keep working hard to improve the products and system capabilities
under less than ideal circumstances. We've all greatly benefited from
that. In their spare time (that's a joke), they also worked to help
present the right kind of company-to-user interactions, of a kind that
probably wouldn't have happened otherwise. They always were helpful in
dealing with some of SB's most enthusiastic users, those here in these
forums. They all also have done everything possible to keep carrying the
flag forward under what's likely been very difficult and frustrating
circumstances, even while seemingly taking friendly fire to do so. 

Then there were the multitudes of others, those who made contributions
from outside the company and remained outside. People like Erland,
Pippin, bpa, and many others (again sorry for names omitted) whose
passions sparked ideas and capabilities that so many have come to rely
upon and enjoy. Also, there were so many of y'all who funneled your SB
enthusiasm into providing the company testing and feedback help. 

I've got my spare units and multiple backup copies of server software
squirreled away, I should be able to maintain the status quo I want for
many years to come. I'd like to say one last thanks to all of you and
good luck and best wishes for the future.

1 SB3 classic, which was replaced by a Touch, is now my only spare
unit.
I'm looking for another Touch and I'm waiting for people giving up the
sequeezebox series, once the news have been spreaded wide.
But probably a lot of other people are thinking similar ;)

 The whole point of the new software is to eliminate the local server. So
 features like local synch of local music files, and random play go out
 the window. I think for the future customers of Logitech this makes
 sense; it just doesn't work for the existing SB customers. If you are
 basing your architecture on the cloud and the assumption that users are
 accessing your software with a wireless device like a phone or a tablet,
 then there isn't much of an incentive to have audiophile SQ and
 features.

Indeed, and the provision of a device with digital audio out may make
some of the companies operating on-line streaming services more nervous
about agreeing to work with the new system.  Even though content owners
have relented on some aspects of DRM they would still prefer for there
to be no way to obtain a flawless digital copy of their content.

So why would Logitech develop a riskier product that has much more
limited appeal than something like the radio?

Re: [slim] How long have your SB's lasted?

2012-09-06 Thread Fozzy

Here's my purchase history:

Nov 2006 - SB3
Dec 2009 - Boom
Aug 2010 - SB3 and Boom
Oct 2010 - Boom
Aug 2011 - Boom

All of these are still working perfectly and I am obviously hoping they
do so for some years to come.

Of the SB3s one is Logitech branded and black, the other SlimDevices
branded and sliver.  The earlier purchase was from an on-line retailer
and the later one from eBay so I suspect the earlier purchase was a new
one with Logitech branding and the later purchase for a used one with
the SlimDevices branding.

Looking back over that I remember buying the first SB3 on recommendation
from someone at work because I had bought a new house and the PC was no
longer close to the HiFi.  The first boom was when our daughter first
had her own bedroom and I wanted to be able to play our music collection
in her bedroom.  2010 was buying another new house, setting up a home
office with some bookshelf speakers and one SB3 and the other Boom in
our bedroom and after that it was just putting them in rooms that did
not have one so we can now listen is any room of the house except the
bathroom.

 It may be possible to create a set of latency/timing profiles for

 allow these different profiles to be loaded.

There was a guy in the XBMC forum a few weeks ago who was planning to
order a whole bunch of teeny little ARM+HDMI systems, about the same

Re: [slim] Squeezebox without Logitech

2012-09-06 Thread bpa

A raspberry Pi solution means a case, psu, wifi etc has to be sourced
and so could be a lot of hassle and not for many end users.

If price is an issue, there are lots of Allwinner A10 based systems
and as a possible Squeezebox replacement I think the Mele A100 looks
good. For about US$80 (from aliexpress.com) it needs a PSU but is
already boxed and has analogue audio, spdif, hdmi, wifi, IR control and
3 USB ports (see http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/mele-a100). It
would need to be tested to see the quality of audio but USB provides
opportunity for using better quality adaptors.

I'll check that Mele out. In the meantime someone on the RPi forum has
already ported LMS and Squeezeslave within the framework of Raspbian. 

A quote:

This how-to guide also includes setting up Squeezeslave, a Squeezebox
client. Squeezebox server and Squeezeslave can coexist on the same
Raspberry Pi so at the end of this how-to guide you will have a device
that can also play the music it serves.

2012-09-06 Thread maggior

If it weren't for people like Ben, Michael, Andy, Dean, Felix, Richard,
Sean, etc., I think the squeezebox would have withered much sooner than
this.  Ben gave us a glimpse in a recent posting of the inner workings
of the team and how they championed the Squeezebox and stayed true to
the cause.  Ben even compared the situation to watching your dog die as
bad decisions were being made regarding the product line.  These guys
were obviously passionate about their work and the product line.

It was an amazing experience to be involved in the community during the
product's rise and hayday.  Along with Goodsounds, I'd like to express
my sincere gratitude too!  You guys created an awesome system for music
lovers like myself!  This system will continue to give myself and my
family great joy for much time to come.

Thank you!

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] SqueezeCommander 0.9 for Android

2012-09-06 Thread jimbobvfr400

Hi

I'm having a weird problem using squeezecommander on my HTC Desire Z
when connecting via 3G

I have a dyndns.org hostname, and I have configured my router to forward
port 9001 to my server correctly (I'm using port 9001 as I use 9000 for
Twonky)

Now I can connect to the web interface on my phone, I can see what's
playing and control my player OK so it all seems to be working OK.
However the main music menu in Squeezecommander just never loads. I only
have search and settings as menu items. Clicking search will even
let me find and play music but the other menus (artists etc) never load.
The now playing views and control of my player also works OK. I just
can't browse music.

My server shows twice in the list of servers, once for my Dyndns address
and once for the local IP address. When connected via WiFi the dyndns
entry shows as a duplicate and I get a message already connected to the
server! Please us the local server Joggler Music

I tried ignoring the local server and then connnecting to the Dyndns
server and weirdly I am unable to connect to the Dyndns entry when I am
connected to my local network. I get an error message flash up of
java.net.ConnectException: mydyndnsname.dyndns.org/176.xxx.xxx.xxx:9001
- Connection refused 
the x's in that message are my Internet IP address and the mydyndnsname
is my host name.

I've tried the open source squeezer android app which although very
basic does let me control and browse no problem connecting via dyndns so
altogether I'm a little confused.

I find it difficult to see the economics working out for a cottage
industry.

The basic spec of the unit looks good but for a cottage industry (i.e.
selling 100's) using a ready made box may not be the best way.  For
example, the A100 seems to be unavailable now. To guarantee supply you
need bigger numbers.  I expect the users to be SB users and so audio
quality might be an issue which means bundling in a USB audio i/f.   So
for a cottage industry 

The A100/A1000/A2000 approach might be better if enduse buys box from
Amazon and then cottage industry was selling a SD card which does all
the system setup (i.e replace Android with Linux + a soft player). 
However with this approiach there is no opportunity to get any returns.

I think the cottage industry is only vaiable when there is a USP or
secret sauce such as hardware with good audio and a good clock
necessary for sync or perhaps a better software player with custm s/w 
which has managed to get agreement from a Music streamer to play the
streams

Re: [slim] Squeezebox without Logitech

2012-09-06 Thread bpa

One of the nice things about the Allwinner A10 based systems is that
they can be restored using USB and a Windows PC so supposedly impossible
to brick which can be an issue with repurposing other media players.
This A10 system (
http://store.cloudsto.com/android-mini-pc-s/a10-media-pc-8gb-nand-1gb-ddr3-ram-detail.html
) is a bit dear has 1Mb Ram (not sure how much GPU takes) but it would
seem possible to run a server as well as a player for when mysb.com goes
away.  Given the pace of development it is likely that this spec would
become the norm for next years products.

 is the poor quality internal sound (with headphone socket) but I believe
 some people have attached audio dongles instead. In effect it's a Touch
 with a 7-inch screen (and a crappy sound chip).

I'm currently using 3 of them as players, one of them is also running
LMS serving my music stored on a NAS. I've soldered a S-PDIF optical
socket directly to the motherboard therfore bypassing the internal sound
chip. Excellent little gadgets.

Re: [slim] A big THANK YOU to everyone

2012-09-06 Thread rcampbel3

6 radios and 1 boom give me music all through my house and outside.
While I do still wish radios were stereo, I can't argue that they have a
great performance for the formfactor.

On the whole, been very happy with my squeezeboxes, and can't really see
any other product with the flexibility to replace it for everything it
can do.

Occasionally, I see someone's ultra high end home audio system and feel
EXTREMELY smug knowing that I can do MORE with my squeezeboxes, LMS, and
my ipad and andriod tablets as controllers.

Poor rest of the world who is stuck streaming music from their iphones
to bluetooth speakers (which probably makes even the radio sound good by
comparison) and watching their iphone battery drain.

I still can't grasp why logitech would continue with an incompatible UE
radio and lose such a valuable ecosystem, but that's a subject for other
threads.

Not going anywhere for the next few years, that's for sure.

Re: [slim] A big THANK YOU to everyone

2012-09-06 Thread erland

I agree with the general topic and I'm both impressed and thankful to
the great work and patience everyone both inside Logitech and in the
community has shown during the past years, it's also important to
remember that this community is not just about developers, I also want
to thank all active, helpful and thoughtful forum members who makes it
worth to come back here day after day to see what new interesting posts
there are. I'm not going to mention any names because the forum has a
limit of number of characters in each post, but thanks to everyone that
come back here day after day with a positive attitude wanting to make
the system better and most importantly wanting to help other users
making their system work better.

However, having said that, I don't look at this as the end, Logitech
might have stopped selling the Squeezebox product but I'm definitely
still interested in improving my music listening experience and I'm sure
I'm not alone. So to me it really doesn't feel like this is the end,
it's the start of a new exciting journey of finding a better way to
enjoy the music. The future will tell who will take the lead but I'm
definitely going to stick around in this community because it wouldn't
surprise me at all if the future journey starts right here, especially
considering all creative third party developers available here who now
have the chance to take the lead instead of waiting for Logitech to do
it. 

So, let's try to keep this community active and let's keep encourage the
creativity among all third party developers and let's continue being
helpful to users with problems. Let's all be part of the next journey to
musical bliss, I'm definitely ready for the ride!

At a guess, some user will not be happy with the analogue and spdif
interfaces on these boxes as they will not have been designed for
discriminating users. Support of USB DAC would be the key issue.  Given
the difficulty that Triode had with Touch getting DACs to work propers
with Touch - a developer might make some revenue by creating a
satisfactory kernel and driver although given open licenses it might be
hard to be able to keep the changes secret.

offer music streamers which will play your local music collection and

other services like Spotify. Just wondering how these compare to
SqueezeBox hardware. Obviously they all stream but do they offer all the

[slim] [ANNOUNCE] SqueezePlay for Mac OSX

2012-09-06 Thread ralphy

I've created an OSX i386 and x86_64 only build with the ability to
select the output device and set the maximum sample rate.

It is based on the 7.8 branch Jul 17, 2012 git check in which I've
exported back to subversion as I really dislike git.

The 'OSX intel port'
(http://squeezeslave.googlecode.com/files/SqueezePlay-7.8.0r142.dmg) has
been tested with 10.6 and 10.7.  Mountain Lion has not been tested as I
don't have a Mac running it.

This version plays 24/96 wave and flac files natively using the latest
LMS 7.8.0 nightly.  The maximum sample rate can be set as high as 192000
in the USEPAMAXSAMPLERATE key, see below, but I haven't tested it, any
value higher defaults to 192000.

Installation?

Mount the SqueezePlay-7.8.0r142.dmg disk image file and drag the
SqueezePlay.app icon to Applications.

How do I change the output device and/or maximum sample rate?

Create a file called environment.plist in your home directory in the
.MacOSX folder.  You may need to create the .MacOSX folder.  So the full
path to my file is

/Users/ralphy/.MacOSX/environment.plist


Code:


  ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
  !DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC -//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN 
http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd;
  plist version=1.0
  dict
  keyUSEPADEVICE/key
  stringSennheiser USB Headset/string
  keyUSEPAMAXSAMPLERATE/key
  string96000/string
  /dict
  /plist
  



To obtain the list of available output devices that can be used for the
USEPADEVICE key you can download 'squeezeslave for OSX'
(http://squeezeslave.googlecode.com/files/squeezeslave-1.2-376-osx.tar.gz),
extract the tar file and run squeezeslave with the -L option.


Code:

$ ./squeezeslave-1.2-376 -L
  Output devices:
  * 1: (Core Audio) Built-in Output (2/12)
  2: (Core Audio) Sennheiser USB Headset (2/13)



You can see how I obtained the exact match for my Headset.

Once you've finished editing the environment.plist file you MUST logout
and log back in before the keys will be available to SqueezePlay.  You
can check if the values have been set from the Terminal App.


Code:

$ set | grep -i usepa
  USEPADEVICE='Sennheiser USB Headset'
  USEPAMAXSAMPLERATE=96000



Hopefully this works for the Mountain Lion folks to override the new
AirPlay default output devices.

I agree, despite owning some fantastic Naim amps.  Streaming is computer
technology - there is nothing mystical about it that needs hi-fi
expertise.  Buy one of their DACs if you wish, or an amp with an inbuilt
DAC,  but just plug a SB Touch into it.  The sound quality is dependent
on the DAC - the digital out from the SB is just a stream of noughts and
ones.

BTW, the DACs in the SB devices aren't half bad for a start. Never felt
the need to go down the separate DAC route myself. But then my hearing
is the limiting factor these days!

Synchronization problems with software players is a very old thing. Been
around since squeezeslave and SoftSqueeze (remember that) were babies.  

The lucky config generally isn't as simple as CPU and RAM. It's the
things that get in the middle such as soundcard drivers that often cause
the latencies that make sync'ing of software players difficult.

Re: [slim] Calling Sean Adams?

2012-09-06 Thread bobkoure

Ah!  I used USB ASIO boxes, one to output SPDIF that went to a receiver,
the other just 2 channel audio to some amplified PC speakers.
http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/UCA202.aspx I think I paid maybe
$28 for each.

They improved sound -quality- a tad, but -maybe- that's why I wasn't
having synchronization problems.
Again, these are hardly high end gear; they're built around a TI DAC
that also converts to SPDIF. I remember being somewhat sad about the
specs when I looked it up 'way back. I got 'em mostly to sidestep any
issues with DirectSound.
I've since given one to a nephew (budding recording engineer) and moved
my office from the room adjacent to my serious listening area to the
basement (long story), so it'd be hard to re-test. There must be other
people using ASIO with squeezeslave or Ralphy wouldn't have bothered
supporting it...?

Keep in mind that the life span of a lithium ion battery begins with
it's manufacture, not when you start using it. To prolong the life of
the spares, fully charge them and then discharge to about 40% and then
store in a cool place. Repeat this process now and then.

Re: [slim] How long have your SB's lasted?

2012-09-06 Thread sander

My strategy for extending the life of my devices is the autodim plugin
which shuts off the screens when I'm asleep, so hopefully that will help
them endure. I think I set up my radio using switch saver to do the same
at one point.

My duet controller's battery died at one point, but once I ordered the
replacement, somehow it came back to life before the replacement arrived
and has been good since. The controller is cradled 99+% of the time (its
basically an ersatz touch), so the actual battery life isn't tested
much.

I picked up an SB3 on the cheap one time from craigslist as when I went
to buy it, the device wouldn't power on. I asked the seller to let me
try to revive it. I took it home and removing the wifi card brought it
back to life. We agreed the half the selling price and I replaced the
card and we're good.

Hopefully that will be the extent of my problems for a while.

Re: [slim] Announcing SqueezePad - the first dedicated iPad App to controll your SqueezeBoxen !

2012-09-06 Thread df9864

I have arranged all my music in folders over the years. I have about 100
gig or so, and find that navigating through my music folders (on a NAS)
is slow. The albums/artists caching is great but I'd much rather go to
my music through the folder structure.
Is there anything I can do to speed this up or any plans to cache in a
future release?

 LOL. I can't even get my SliMP3s to sync correctly with my SBs using
 recent versions of LMS.

Thats another problem due to that slimp3 and sb1 have much smaller
buffers , I can see it be a bit problematic to make syncing code that
works perfect in this scenario .
It gets compounded by LMS transcoding in many instances as slimp3 don't
support that many file formats loading the server more , in many cases
it's going to be wav thats gets streamed which makes for a higher
bandwidth use and the buffer gets even smaller (in how many seconds of
music it stores ).
I can see wifi having further negative influence here  too .
