Re: [slim] Advice Please - FLAC to MP3
I rip to ALAC instead of FLAC. Itunes will automatically transcode the ALAC files down to lossy AAC files during syncing. It will give you the option to choose the bitrate and do all the work. The nice thing is you only need one library for your i-devices and Squeezeboxes since LMS handles ALAC just fine. Many other devices now work with ALAC as well so it is not nearly as divisive a format as it used to be. usc95's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59694 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105561 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Music Backup in the Cloud
I have all my music uploaded to Google Music. I am not sure if it is available to be downloaded as lossless files were I to need it but it serves as my third backup. I have my music on two computers both backed up to external drives. While Google Music isn't perfect it is there for me to use in an absolute worst case situation (like a house fire) and is absolutely free and no maintenance. usc95's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59694 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105604 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Music Backup in the Cloud
Backups to servers outside of your control mean that your data is no longer in your control. If you don't control it, you don't own it. I back up everything from all my home computers (my three, wife's two) as incremental backups to my own server, nightly. Weekly, the server gets backed up to another location, secure and physically offsite but still on my property and within my control. Data from phones (not much, but sometimes some photos & stuff) gets backed up on the weekend or when I figure it's necessary. All data is on physical media that belong to me, and that I can control access to. That's a personal policy for me: I retain all control and access to my property, and I don't plan on changing that policy.

Re: [slim] Music Backup in the Cloud
I'm using iBroadcast. It's free and lets you store your stuff in original quality (FLAC in my case) and get it back at the same quality later. They also don't muck about with it with DRM and stuff - it's your stuff, stored. I use it for music in the car via their phone app. Currently not supporting true gapless, but they are working on it I'm told. Premium extras will come later I guess. I've been sending my suggestions to their team via email - they seem pretty keen to get feedback and ideas. Now if someone here could just make a plugin / app that lets you stream from it (apparently their API is open and ready for people to do stuff with) to the LMS, that would be mega. I have 2 HDDs with my FLACs on locally though too. charlesr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3312 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105604 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Music Backup in the Cloud
You might want to take a look at the various online backup service providers out there: Crashplan, Backblaze, etc. They offer good services at reasonable prices ($50-60/year). If you're keeping local and remote backups of multiple TBs of data, these prices are are competitive with the costs of buying and replacing your own backup drives. Most of them do offer seamless encryption - their software and servers take care of this without user intervention. Many offer to use keys that only you hold, meaning the service can't decrypt anything without you. There is the issue of that first big upload sync job. This does rely on good upload speeds, or the use of "seeding" service in which you mail in a physical drive that they'll load as the first backup set. I've always been a roll-my-own guy, using my own drives, scripting and scheduling native sync utilities (hooray for rsync!) and so on. But, it's really gotten to the point where this isn't advantageous. The paid backup providers offer great service, reasonable rates, and much more durable protection that I can provide myself. Take a look. Here's a good comparative review: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-online-backup-service/ ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

If you already done and happy with your tags on a bigger library and dont change/add the files (never run a clean & rescan) you could stay on your Version. 7.9 has many improvements and i remember the old days when i (possible) was the last 6.x user and most of you running "squeezeboxserver" (i didnt want that fancy stuff and "hate" the lack of mysql instead of sqlite) but wheels are not standing still:p DJanGo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1516 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105627 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Could be just me, but you get to use the official SB app from the play store too. Doesn't work for me after the upgrades to lms 7.9. I did upgrade to hopefully fix some issues with cover photo cache DB size, but nothing much changed. In the end I gained library views, which is cool, but I have yet to really get it working how I want it. drmatt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59498 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105627 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
