Re: [slim] Community Funded Squeezebox Replacement - Would you be interested?
This sounds really interesting and count me in for a box if it becomes reality. It would be nice if a new box could integrate with the old SB-devices. Couldn't something like this be founded using Kickstarter or similar?

Re: [slim] Utility for downloading album art
While testing all these different utilities I also completed the first version of my own tool. It is no way near as rich on functions as the other but does the trick for me. It downloads covers (good enough for iPeng) If anyone wants to try it out, its attached. It requires .NET 2.0 or greater and its tested on Win 7/Vista 64-bit and Win XP 32-bit As stated earlier it fetch the cover art from Google. Basically there are only 5 settings: Overwrite = If Album.jpg exist it will overwrite the file Skip VA = Will skip folders starting with VA- or VA_- Fast Mode = Takes the first match only Set Temp Dir = Set temp directory for picture download Set Root Dir = Set root directory for the albums you want to scan Limitations: Beta 1 Only for mp3´s Only jpg´s Cover quality is low in some cases Beware that the temp directory is cleaned of all jpgs after processing. So picking My Pictures folder as temp directory maybe isnt the best choice :) [image: http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/3521/squeeze.jpg] As always, this comes as-is without any warranties +---+ |Filename: SqueezeBoxCoverFinder.zip| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=10819| +---+ -- Freddy Freddy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41055 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82749 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

If you want to do the whole collection (and put up with iTunes F/Ups,) find the saveitunesartwork.js. Just hold shift while starting iTunes and make a new library that points to your music and sign-up with Apple and P Thanks for the suggestion, but I guess this means I have to use the iTunes Library? -- Freddy Freddy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41055 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82749 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Squeezebox stopping
Bumping this old thread since I am having the same problem with latest version of Squeezebox Server. When running synchronized with a SB3 my Boom suddenly goes mute. The Now Playing screen is still there but no sound. To get it working again I need to go into settings and select synchronize again. Then it starts to play Both players are wireless with 85% connection strength. I´ve only had this issue with the Boom.

[slim] Utility for downloading album art
Hi, first post! I created a little tool for downloading album art and put it in the corresponding album folder. So far is it only working with MP3 files. I did this to get album art available in iPeng. This is the functionality: * Scans a root directory for mp3 albums (only). * Reads the id3v2 tag on one track to get Artist + Album name. * Using information above, download images from Google. * Presents the result for the user for selection. * Copy selected file as Album.jpg into album folder. A fast mode is also available, then it takes the first hit on Google and copy that one, without presenting it for the user first. (Can give funny results sometimes ;)) Does anyone know if a similar utility exist?, then I can drop this little project and use that one instead :) If not, I might do some further testing and then release it for public. I don't want to embed the album art into the file. /Freddy -- Freddy Freddy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41055 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82749 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Utility for downloading album art
Great, thanks! I will look into Bliss. Yes I know that Google images can be crappy sometimes. But for iPeng they are good enough I think. I only have a Boom and a Classic so I've had no opportunity to test on another unit. -- Freddy Freddy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41055 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82749 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
