Re: [slim] How do you want to create/manage playlists ?
1. What kind of device would you like to use when creating the playlists ? - A computer - A tablet - A smart phone - A Logitech Controller, Radio or Touch display - A IR remote - Something else My preference would be to use tablet/smart phone followed by the SB players themsleves and finally a computer, I'm looking for ease of use playlists over spending a long time creating and deciding what should be in it 2. How do you decide what should be part of a playlist ? - By selecting the individual tracks you want to include - By selecting the albums you want to include - By selecting the artists you want to include - By automatically selecting 100 tracks that matches some search criteria (genre, ratings, ...) - Something else I listen to 2 types of playlists 1) album playlists - mainly new music, in this case I'll add an album (either local or on spotify) and then queue up another one with 'add to end' 2) dynamic/smart playlists - I've got various playlists set up using erlands dynamic playlists based on 'top rated' and then the smartmix playlist, these are both heavily used for more casual listening with variations of decades, genre etc. 3. How do you decide which order the tracks should have in the playlist ? - Random ordered tracks - Random ordered albums - Drag and drop albums to put them into the right order - Drag and drop tracks to put them into the right order - Something else See above 4. What's the most frustrating limitation with SBS/LMS playlist management today ? - That it doesn't support relative paths in playlist files which are scanned - That it's too hard to reorder tracks in existing playlists - That it's too hard to create completely new playlists - Something else There is no native smart playlist from the web interface/phone controller, so for example when I loaded music into google music it created some auto playlists, whereas with SB i have had to set up various plugins/ratings/mixes although the results are good The web interface is very limited, it would be great if controllers had the ability to drag and drop or suggest tracks etc. 5. What kind of device would you like to use when modifying existing playlists ? - A computer - A tablet - A smart phone - A Logitech Controller, Radio or Touch display - A IR remote - Something else don't really use static playlists 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 - Something else see above Is there anything else than the above you feel is important to take into consideration if anyone would like to improve the playlist management ? socistep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18860 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

Re: [slim] Is there any continued development of the Squeezebox server software?
The concept of LMS is in my opinion the greatest strength of the system and what set it apart from the competition (many of which withered and died long before SB). It is also the reason I went for SB instead of any of the other systems. The actual implementation of LMS may have left something to desire in the stability department though. alfista's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32396 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98450 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

JohnSwenson wrote: Correct, all TOSLINK transmitters that I know about take a standard digital input and have a builtin LED driver circuit. I don't know of any that bring the LED pins out directly. That 22.2 ohm resistor is just a standard thing used to slightly cut down the rise time of the signal to cut down on ringing when driving a load. The cap between VCC and GND is important, but I'm not as sure about the necessity of the ferrite bead. BTW for removing stubborn parts on boards you might want to try ChipQuik solder. It is sold for removing SMD parts but it works just as well for through hole ones as well. It is a solder with a super low melting point, melt blobs of it over the pins and keep the iron moving between blobs, it will dissolve the original solder and stay liquid long enough for you to pull the part off. After you get the part off use solder wick etc. to make sure you get all of this off the board before soldering a new part. This having it wrong on wandboard just reinforces my findings, there is a curse on TOSLINK transmitters. I have NEVER put one on a board that turned out right the first time. Including the SWAMP05. I know it's going to turn out wrong so I quadruple check the spec sheets to make SURE I get it hooked up right, and it still turns out wrong. And here the wandboard guys did it as well. It's got to be a curse. We can do 314 pin monster connectors right, 900 pin cpus right, but these simple little 3 terminal devices confound us all. It doesn't make sense. Actually I think it's the spec sheets. The one for the part on SWAMP05 has a table that says pin 3 is ground, and the schematic shows pin 1 connected to ground. Another I looked at shows the pins being labeled 1 2 3 in line on the physical drawing, but when listing the functions in a table they list 1 3 2. If you are not VERY careful in reading this you can get it backwards. It's sloppy spec sheets that I think are at the root of the curse. But it's sort of nice to know that I'm not the only one to have this problem. John S. It is always the simple things that seem to go wrong on the schematic and PCB layout. Number 1 mistake has to be connector reversal. I finally tracked down a copy of the datasheet for the KYT-1150A part that is used on the Wandboard and confirmed that the pinout on the Wandboard is indeed incorrect for this part.

Terry Correct, I did lookup a few toslink datasheets and they all take input without a resistor. R345 can be removed without issues. In the mean time I have succeeded in removing the toslink transmitter. The hard way wasnt that hard after all; but Im not putting it back on the wandboard.

(If 1000 people are prepared to pay $5-$10 that might be a good incentive for someone to undertake this project). Any other members who are also prepared to pay please post your interest. kouta's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59399 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98621 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Listening squeezebox music in the living room without any squeezebox hardware!
garym wrote: I'm a bit confused as to what you are asking. You can have a NAS with SbS (or LMS) installed in a different room. You can control it all with iPeng and touch, but you'll still need some bit of hardware connected to your Marantz. A sb touch, receiver, SB3, etc. I don't think you can send to an airplay device with SbS/LMS. But i could be wrong here. I believe the [iPod + iPeng] combo is the remote AND the player, sending the music to the receiver via AirPlay. jimzak's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17592 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98619 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I have done this using the analogue out on an Airport Express. Works well but IMHO the sound quality was not as good as a Squeezebox. I have be meaning to try it using the optical out into my DAC.

Re: [slim] Pre-Announcement: ickStream Music Platform

The lyrics (or whatever tag you display) should follow the song you are listening! * to have the possibility to edit the tag from smartphone or tablet. Don't like to use foobar that is only windows. Easy simple tagging should be possible from any device while listening * to have possibility to rate a song while playing it (and write rating in the tag as if the app disappears, so does the rating, cf squeezecenter) * Use a search and filter type of interface (cf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faceted_search). Browsing static hierarchies is slow and boring, especially if you have to create those in advance (cf custom browse or even playlists). Navigation should be highly dynamic. Look at Plex app. Sort capability should be advanced too (eg sort artists by number of albums) +1 yes I for example would like to fix whole genres or artist when spotted , for example if I see Pop and pop I would like to just tell the interface that pop=Pop and then it fixes these tags or if I find an artist with several spelling alternatives I would also just opt to keep one and the tags are amended in the background . Yes and really easy rating directly when playing ,by track album or artist . pippin wrote: Well, all the dynamic searching features will definitely require a different server (or a very powerful search plugin), LMS definitely is too slow for it, even on a powerful machine, let alone on a NAS. The same is probably true for most online services. This is understandable , but all improvements over LMS normal search is welcome , some tolerance to spelling errors for example .
