 Is it always the second track? Do you maybe have the shuffle mode on?
 This is not a CustomBrowse menu or anything right (not that I think it
 would make a difference).
 iPeng here really just sends a play album command, I don't see how the
 iOS version or the jailbreak could have any influence on that.
 Also, iPeng really doesn't influence what track the server plays.
 And there is no change there.
 
Be that as it may, I have one phone with 1.6.1 that does not show this
behavior and one with 2.0 that does do it. I have found the way to
reproduce it however: if the players that I want to start playing are
switched off and I start them by selecting an album (by clicking the
cover art), the entire playlist will be loaded and the 2nd track will
start playing. I've tried this 8 times between both phones. during those
tries 1.6.1 never showed this behavior and 2.0 did every time. Shuffle
play is not turned on. 

I know it may sound strange to you, but if you want I can make you a
video that shows the error occurring. Just let me know what settings and
information you exactly want to see in the video.

 How long is your current playlist?
 Do you see spontaneous main-menu reloads?
 
It depends, sometimes over 1500 tracks, sometimes just a single album.
The longer playlists are loaded instantly, no incremental updates of the
playlist because the server can't manage or anything. No spontaneous

Re: [slim] Please disconnect squeezeplay config from mysqueezebox.com

I have no experience other than Windows OS. Squeezeplay for Windows does
work without mysqueezebox.com. I don't have a mysqueezebox account and
I'm able to set it up anyway. As mentioned, there is a key combination
to back out of the initialization process. It works like it does on the

If you're sending the audio from the iPod Touch to a receiving device

If you're playing music on the iPod through a dock that takes the
digital audio from the iPod then the sound quality should be however
good the DAC etc in the dock is, subject to the 'limitation' of 16 bit /

whatever its DAC and output circuitry provides, given a lossless source

 It's a question of whether the device allows playback from any location.
As far as I know the Apple TV can play back your music collection
anywhere you like (assuming power, Internet and a display) but this is
using iTunes Match, not Airplay. So (a) you'd need to subscribe to
iTunes Match, and (b) playback would be at 256 kbps AAC (I think), no
matter what format or quality your source files back at home were. And
because it's not Airplay I think you would need a display in order to
operate the Apple TV.

years of abuse my ears aren't what they were, so I think going the way
of spdif out to hardcore external DACs is probably overkill.  I have
seen elsewhere that the quality of phono out on the Joggler ain't great.
I'm certainly up for spending an extra £30 on an external USB sound
card to improve matters, but not up for learning how to code and then
spending £150+ on a dac for a device whose main selling point to me was
price.

I'm happy with the sound from my Touch (with phono out).  If I can bring
the joggler up to that standard by adding an external USB sound card,
then great, I will use it in the living room to take advantage of the
airplay feature.

Yes I know I could a/b them when I get it, but it would be useful to
also have a technical opinion so as to help remove any nagging doubts. 
Listening tests are a nightmare. Often something sounds acceptable on a

Re: [slim] O2 Joggler v Squeezebox Touch for Audio Quality

2012-10-24 Thread simbo

I've compared an SB3 (Classic) with a Joggler, and I can safely say,
even without a double-blind-ab-test, that the analogue output of the SB3
is far superior to the Joggler. 

Like you I tried swapping out my main SB with the Joggler as it's
aesthetically nicer and easier to control, but the sound quality made me
immediately switch it back. Another problem I found was that the volume
level coming out of the Joggler was too low, which meant I had to up the
preamp db level, which caused a nasty pop when it turned on.

A USB audio dongle is the way to go I think if you want to use the
Joggler, as long as you don't mind it sticking out the side, or you get
a 90-degree cable and stick it behind.

Re: [slim] O2 Joggler v Squeezebox Touch for Audio Quality

2012-10-24 Thread jimbobvfr400

I have 3 Jogglers and 1 Squeezebox radio running in my system, and I
previously owned a SB3 so feel I can cpomment on this.

The Joggler has a 3.5mm output. The audio chip on-board has several
options including digital and line out however only the headphones
output is used and connected to the the jack on the back. This means the
output is not up to the standards of a real squeezebox (if you have a
touch I believe they have headphone jacks, imagine using them instead of
the RCA outs) So out of the box its not really suitable as a high
quality audio device. The output can be tweaked by the way so the low
volume issue can be sorted but its still not the best. I do use the
standard output with the Joggler in my bedroom connected to a cheap 2.1
speaker set I got included with a Dell PC a while ago, its perfectly
acceptable for that purpose, once the gain has been adjusted to combat
the low audio levels mentioned above

One of my other Jogglers has been modified by myself to have an optical
port, this was actually quite an easy mod to do, its 3 wires soldered to
points on the motherboard and this feeds the on-board DAC in my Arcam
AVR amplifier. I have tried this Joggler feeding the DAC in a mates
entirely Linn based system (I don't recall the model numbers of his kit,
I was too distracted by the pile of expensive Linn kit, including a
rather lovely TT he owns) TBH the Joggler feeding FLAC (ripped from CD
so 16/44.4) was indistinguishable from CDs played through the same DAC.
I'm not pretending we did a proper ABX blind test but to both of our
ears we were perfectly happy with the digital output from my Joggler. My
mate has since bought one which I've modded with the optical output for
him and he's a happy bunny

My third Joggler uses a Behringer USB soundcard (UAC something or other
from memory, possible 302?)  feeding a modest stereo setup (Cambridge
Audio A5 Amp, Mordaunt Short MS906 speakers) I have directly compared
the Joggler with Behringer to my Cambridge CD player, I couldn't compare
the SB3 directly as I sold it a while ago but this is the system I used
to have the SB3 connected to. I have to be honest I don't think I could
tell them apart. The sound quality is certainly good enough for my ears
and modest setup.

The Joggler in some ways is what the Touch should have been. A lovely 7
screen. Its powerful enough to run a full LMS, either using network
shares or a USB device for your tunes. My Joggler with the SP-DIF mod
runs the latest LMS, including a fair few plugins, including PLAYWMA and
PLAYREAL with Mplayer to transcode these screens. Even Triodes spotify
plug in works, but not the official one.

Regarding the USB port on the side, personally I found this location to
be a pain, however if you're not using the WiFi then you can actually
remove the internal wifi card which frees up another USB port, I drilled
a hole on the back case and stuck a small usb evtension cable in it so I
have a captive lead on the back. you can then use a Hub to connect
multiple devices to the USB.

So for me (I'm from Yorkshire so a bit tight) I have 3 zones and a
perfectly capable LMS machine for less money (including the previously
mentioned Behringer soundcard) for less money than I spent on the SBR. I
love my Jogglers but they do require a little more effort than just
plugging in a genuine squeezebox to shine

Re: [slim] O2 Joggler v Squeezebox Touch for Audio Quality

2012-10-24 Thread bobkoure

Speaking as someone who uses that Behringer 302  USB/DAC (squeezeslave
output from my PC), I can tell you that the DAC in that unit is OK but
not wonderful.
From the comments above, it's an improvement on the Joggler.
If you're setting up somewhere where you already have a receiver, get a
toslink cable and a/b/a between audio output from the Behringer (that
DAC) and toslink to your receiver (receiver's DAC). My mid-range Yamaha
gear (RXV series) was clearly better (mid-range Burr-Brown DACs, but one
per channel)

I took a Behringer 302 apart at one point (long ago) and looked up the
chips in use. As I remember there's a single chip that's a TI
combination DAC and digital audio converter. Given the A/B/A above, this
calls the digital audio converter somewhat into question, but I haven't
gotten around to trying a higher end converter. I'm using a PC and ASIO
so that higher-end would be a Musiland. If I had a portable device and
wanted analog audio output as good as a SB3, I'd think about an
Audioquest Dragonfly, but that's in the $200+ range (the SB3 DAC is
quite good, and, considering the price of the dragonfly, not overpriced)

[slim] Poll: Would you pay for a Squeezebox Server in the cloud?

2012-10-24 Thread mcm

I never understood why Logitech didn't use the opportunity for making
aftersales money by offering subscription based services extending the
functionality of mysqueezebox.com thus eliminating the need to run a
local squeezebox server. So something like mysb.com + mp3tunes / Amazon
Cloud Player.

Would you be interested, and if, how much would you be willing to pay
for a service offering the following key features:

+ mysqueezebox.com (internet radio, integration with streaming services
like Spotify, Rhapsody,...)
+ upload/match your own music library into the cloud (unlimited, like
Amazon Cloud Player but lossless quality)
+ stream via web browser
+ stream to mobile devices via dedicated iOS/Android apps (lossy,
MP3/OGG)

A poll associated with this post was created, to vote and see the
results, please visit http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96850

Question: How much would you be willing to pay for a service as
described?

- Nothing. Not Interested. 
- up to 5 EUR/$ 
- up to 15 EUR/$ 
- up to 25 EUR/$


I think the market for a multiple 100$ network audio player is somewhat
limited. To me it seems SlimDevices/Logitech got a big part of that
market but then sales reached there natural limit and stagnated. Most of
the squeezebox devices are long living so at some point there's not too
much incentive to buy new ones.

So for Logitech it's one-time money against the continued expenditures
of keeping the infrastructure (mysb.com) and software alive. I never
understood why Logitech didn't start their own kind of cloud thing. They
integrate mysb.com with all kind of subscription based third party
services instead of offering their own ones.

I gave a lot of money to mp3tunes.com for storing my own music in the
cloud - but it never really worked. I still give money to Rhapsody for
streaming additional music. I'm buying my music in third party online
stores. New services like Itunes Match and Amazons Cloud Player kind of
merge some of these markets. Even Ubuntu has its own music store and
associated cloud storing services. If Logitech came up with services
like that, I would happily pay them instead.

Since logitech never offered some working cloud service for accessing
internet radio + my own music i eventually set up a virtual server in a
data center for hosting my own instance of sqeezebox server + 300 GB of
online storage for my own music. That costs me 30 EUR/month the data
center infrastructure + 10 EUR/month to Rhapsody for music streaming + a
lot of hassle for setup und running the system.

I would happily give that money (or rather some EUR less) to logitech
for offering  me the same service via mysb.com.

But in the long run it doesn't make too much sense to multiply space
requirements by storing the same music over and over again. Amazon does
the right thing with it's cloud player. Just upload users music if it
isn't in a common pool. At the same time I think amazons cloud player is
ridiculously cheap (25 EUR/*year* for storing your unlimited size
personal music collection).

If logitech (or whoever) offered a similar service for squeezebox
owners, but at higher quality (lossless), I would be willing to pay up
to 25 EUR per *month* for that (whereas I think 10 to 15 EUR / month
would be more reasonable for a mass market).

[slim] Support of Dolby 5.1 Music on Squeezeboxes

2012-10-24 Thread bernaci

I have an increasing number of Dolby 5.1 Music Files in my library on
the NAS, most have AC3
and some have FLAC format.  It would be great if I could listen to this
music, exactly as easily
as to my stereo music using Squeezebox and iPeng.

Unfortunately, I do not see anywhere that the SlimServer scans the music
library for AC3 files.
It should just need to be displayed side-by-side in the list with MP3 or
AAC. There are even
no tags to scan, just the files to be listed. On the Squeezebox itself,
we would need
just Passthrough to the SPDIF interface and no decoding.

It is even more surprising to see that the Sqeezeboxes don't support it,
considering that most hardware
media players scan for AC3 music files and implement the Passthrough.
The Twonky Media server does it etc.
So I do not understand why this was ignored by the Squeezebox
developpers and community.

If somebody is interested in Dolby 5.1 music in the different formats,
there are fantastic examples to download
from here :  http://www.diatonis.com/surround_sound_music.html

It would be so easy to implement.  Was this ever discussed, and are
there any chances to get it ?

Best Regards,
Bernd

[slim] Failed fetching filters from MusicIP

2012-10-24 Thread tamanaco

As suggested in the thread linked below I'm starting this new thread to
try and get to the source of the subject error message. I've been
getting the Slim::Plugin::MusicMagic::Common::__ANON__ (75) Failed
fetching filters from MusicIP error message in my log for the longest
time and have not been able to figure out what's causing it.  I set
Filters to (NONE) in the MusicIP plugin settings, but I still get the
Failed fetching message. I also could not find a setting in SugarCube
for MusicIP filters and Trackstat is not enabled in SugarCube. Is there
a setting in another plugin I should check or a file or something
missing somewhere? I'm running the latest 7.8 LMS release with MusicIP
1.9 beta 6 on Windows 7. Btw, this issue is discussed towards the end of
this old thread

You can ! encapsulate the ac3 stream in a WAV or FLAC file keep volume
at 100% and use only the spdiff or toslink ( analog out will be rubbish

with flac, tagging would work fine .

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Squeezeslave: 1.2 released

2012-10-24 Thread jshoor

Hi,

I'd just like to confirm whether or not squeezeslave can be registered
with mysqueezebox.com. I think that the answer is no, but perhaps
someone has been able to make it work?  I have tried changing the mac
address a few different times, but that doesn't seem to make a
difference.

The reason I ask is that I would like to control my squeezeslave
instance through squeezeplay and play apps like pandora.  I can
currently play pandora on squeezeslave by controlling it through the LMS
web gui; however, when I use squeezeplay and select MyApps to get to
Pandora, I receive an error message that this device has already been
registered with another account.  My understanding is that this error
message is a result of the fact that the squeezeslave instance is not
registered with mysqueezebox.com, and I can confirm that this is true.
At least squeezeslave does not show up when I list My Players on the
mysqueezebox.com website.  

I have tried to register the squeezeslave instance using squeezeplay
through Test-SN Registration which seems to work. I receive a success
confirmation message at least. However, the player still will not show
up on the mysqueezebox.com website.  

If its not possible to register the squeezeslave instance, does anyone
have a suggestion for a work around? Perhaps a way to just add a Pandora
menu item to the main menu of Squeezeplay. As I have said, I can play
pandora on squeezeslave through LMS, and it does show up on the Now
Playing screen of Squeezeplay. I just dont have a way to start it from
squeezeplay or change the channels.

Thank in advance,
J

I'm no expert on airplay. just recalling things I've read, there may be
resampling to 16/48 (from 16/44.1), not using 24/x, thus not as good at

iTunes Match supports ALAC.

Airplay is LAN-only (for all intents and purposes)

All Apple devices (Macs/iDevice/Apple TV/AE) all have digital outs (in
some form).

Streaming e.g. ALAC with Airplay and using digital outs *should* be
bitperfect.

Apple (Itunes Match) and Amazon (Cloud Player) do that already. I know
there are still some minor flaws with their implementations, but all in

Re: [slim] How does Apple AirPlay compare to SqueezeBox in functionality?

2012-10-24 Thread bhaagensen

As far as Apple TV vs. SB goes, here are some personal specifics,
divided into stuff one is good at and the other one not, and vice versa.


Pro AE:
- Fits perfectly into an Apple ecosystem including their cloud-services.

- Streaming all kinds of sounds, videos and pictures from all kinds of
Apple devices, is a breeze. This is important since most video- and
music-services have apps or clients for said devices. This in addition
to all other more random youtube, etc. content, one can pull of the big
net.
- Best-effort-kind-of-good SQ by using digital outputs into DACs etc
(though opinions vary as to whether its bit perfect). This means that I
think the quality is pretty good - wether or not its actually The Best
Possible, is not that important - nor is it optimised with this in mind.
- The way I use and think of it is, as as a means of getting a better
viewing/listening experience than on the smaller device.

Pro SB:
- Bitperfect
- High-res
- WAN-streaming (without cloud-subscritions)
- I can 100% manage my own library the old fashion way - no cloud stuff
etc.
- When up and running - its independent of computers/iDevices/etc. Its
just good old high-fi with a thingy that happens to source over the
network.

So I use both as I believe they (in the present state) serve the same,
but different purposes :)

You are right. It's just about identifying the right track. Amazon
doesn't care if your version is only a 64kbps MP3. When they identify
your track and they have it in their DB, you get their version (~250kbps
VBR MP3). Your actual file is only uploaded if they don't have it in
their collection. The problem with amazon is that, while it will try to
match all kind of files (also ogg and flac) it will only upload MP3 and
AAC (max. 100MB/file). No lossless.

Airplay is 16/44.1 always, so source is converted to that.

If receiver is Apple TV, it only outputs 16/48 for audio.  So it
resamples.

If receiver is Airport Express, it outputs 16/44.1, same as Airplay
signal, subject to WiFi capability / quality.

If source is ALAC 16/44.1 everything's bit perfect, if using max volume

[slim] Windows Media Player !! problem

2012-10-24 Thread Bowler

I have recently installed Squeezebox Duet and it's working well but I
have a problem with WMP.   When it automatically scanned my music files
it put them all in to albums etc, which is fine.   However, it has also
sorted by genre and THEY'RE ALL WRONG.   Actually, they're not ALL wrong
but many are.   for instance, some Jazz is listed as Fusion.   Many
Big Band listed as Easy Listening etc.   Is there a way to change
this?   I suppose I copuld be accused of nit-picking but it would be
nice to get it right.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Re: [slim] iPeng, your iPhone Squeezebox Remote, gets even better with version 2.0!

2012-10-24 Thread pippin

The iPeng 2.0.1 update is now in the App Store.

It fixes a number of smaller issues with 2.0 and brings some smaller
improvements:

Improvements:
* new: trash icon back on the current playlist screen
* new: select different sleep intervals for the sleep shortcut when
holding the pause-button.

Fixes:
* fixed: moving volume or progress sliders no longer trigger
skip-gestures (that's the big one)
* fixed: you can now send help mails under iOS 6 again.
* fixed: native ALAC playback using the playback In-App-Purchase
* fixed: Twitter support (that was not related to iPeng 2.0 but caused
by a discontinued endpoint on Twitters side and also affects all other
iPeng versions)

You should also make sure that the WMP setting to retrieve info from the
internet is shut off (Organize - Options - Library tab). This could
undo anything you do to your tags if allowed.

[slim] Very poor customer service from Logitech

2012-10-24 Thread 47tuc

I have a problem with my Duet Receiver and so I logged a case with
Logitech back in August (I'm in Australia so I called the local freecall
number).  The operator told me that they don't deal directly with
Squeezebox issues so my case would need to be referred to another
section.
Since then despite several follow up calls and assurances from the
operator every time that they would get back to me, I have heard nothing
from them. 

Has anyone else had this problem and if so what have you done about it?

Unless you have already done it I would suggest that you post this to
the support forum at http://forums.logitech.com and ask for guidance
what to do. Hopefully one of the people working for Logitech which knows
Squeezebox will be able to see it there.
