[slim] connection issues with Mac OS Mountain Lion
I have a SB Touch which worked perfectly when I was using Mac Lion OS. I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and it's now practically useless. No other changes just the 'upgrade'. Initially SB wouldn't connect then searched for ages to show tracks or artists, it then finally streamed and stopped on and off for an hour until I got so fed up I gave up. I constantly got messages saying it had trouble connecting to my iMac, and rarely streamed for more than a minute without disconnecting. Any suggestions.

Re: [slim] difference in volume levels with Duet and other audio sources
thanks for the reply, both devices ( S'Box and CD) run through the DAC which the Amp sees as 'CD' so adjusting levels doesn't work. But, when I adjust the S'box volume output to Max then switch sources they are much closer in volume levels and then I use Amp volume control, simples! However, I do occaisonally connect the S'box to a set up in another room and vol is set to the Max...I know there is nothing that can be dome about that though. -- Chilts Chilts's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36630 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76327 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] difference in volume levels with Duet and other audio sources
I know I have seen something of this before so apologise for bringing it back, I don't seem to be able to find the thread in question. I have Duet routed through Dacmagic DAC into Denon 1910 and out to dedicated audio speakers. Also through the same DAC on a second optical input is a CD player, if you have Duet at reasonable volume levels and then switch source to CD the volume increases so much it makes your ears bleed. I have a second Audio amp in the set up ( acting as pre amp for a turntable, no phonostage on 1910) Would routing the Duet to the audio amp then DAC then 1910 help at all. If not any other suggestions on how I can equalise output levels? Thanks. -- Chilts Chilts's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36630 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76327 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] What's the best file format to use
Guys thanks again for the support, to answer some questions I had ripped with WMP, then used dbPoweramp to convert the WAV files to FLAC, I then ran mp3tag. The music is stored like this H:\My Music\Aretha Franklin\Queen of Soul- The Very Best of Aretha Franklin\Track Name I still however have issues, after re naming manually some tracks they appear under the artist rather than unknown but as a secondary version of the album in SB library, I have even gone in and changed album artist from blank to match album artist that it saw already. The isolated track/album seems to be carrying the track name , name of artist plus unknown artist wheras in the album folder that has alll th rest of the album the 'unknown' element is missing. Additionally even adding Album Artist to the known artist tag still leaves some albums in the Compilation/Various Artists section e.g Best of Rod Stewart SB controller shows under more info as Location H\My Music\Rod Stewart\Best of Rod Stewart\(WEA International)\01Maggie May.flac and I have added Album Artist to the tag in mp3Tag, it already had artist=Rod Stewart. rgds Chilts -- Chilts Chilts's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36630 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75622 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] What's the best file format to use
Gary/Phil thanks for the guidance, I did indeed see track one of an album has Title=Track1 Artist=Unknown Artist Album=Unknown album I have manually corrected and it then sorts, which leads me to two questions, do I have to do this manually for all the other similar issues and how do I prevent it from happening again when I rip a CD.

Re: [slim] What's the best file format to use
Guys interesting discussion, but can anyone help me. I have as was suggested converted my files to FLAC, run through MP3Tag,rescanned entire library but still have the same issue. In WMP library all the tracks from an album appear in the album, when I have recsannned a very large number of albums are all minus the first track and I have a very large collection of 'unkown' albums that contain the artwork and the missing first track. Plus, loads of 'best of' albums appear as compilations.

[slim] What's the best file format to use
I'm pretty new to this and would appreciate some advice. I've used WMP to rip CD's and chose the WAV format as it appeared to be the least loss. I'm using a Duet and have had a few problems with the library, biggest bug bear is that the first track of each album is not stored in the album but is in a seperate album under @Unkown@ albeit with the correct album art associated with it, another issue is that 'Best of' albums appear in the Various Artist section and not under the Artist themselves. It was suggested I needed help with tags and to use MP3Tag, this however only works on other file formats. I chose WAV because I thought it would give me the best audio experienceam I wrong, should I be using something else -- Chilts Chilts's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36630 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75622 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
