Re: [slim] Syncing volume on some players but not others.
Sorry this took so long, but I don't update my Logitech service much these days as it is a bedrock of my listening pleasure! Have installed the 16/11/18 version of 7.9.2, fiddled with the volume on the synced and non-synced players. Neither group affected the other. All seems right with the world! I'm amazed that this got addressed at all, let alone that it was done so quickly and efficiently. Many thanks.

Re: [slim] Syncing volume on some players but not others.
Thanks Phillipe. If I'm reading your message correctly, number 1 possibly sounds like an enhancement. Number 2 though, I'd be surprised if anybody called less than a bug. Player has an attribute of "don't sync volume", changing volume of that player changes volume of other players. It is at least partially synced, surely. Thanks again for looking at this, Mark.

Thanks for doing this. I've read what you said carefully and have done some more investigation. When I adjust the volume on the Duet or Boom, they both change. The Classic doesn't change volume. That's as expected. When I adjust the volume on the Classic, all three players change volume. That doesn't sound right although, reading your message, it might not be the case you tried? If you still have the players set up, I'd love to hear what happens when you change the volume on the unsync'ed player.

[slim] Syncing volume on some players but not others.
I have three players. A Duet and a Boom in one room and a Classic in the study. They are synced to all play the same and it works fine. However, I'd like to have the volume synced on the Duet and Boom but control the Classic separately. Is that even possible? It looks like it should be. Under the sync settings I have two of them set to "sync volume" and the Classic set to "don't sync volume". However (even after a restart of the service) the settings persist, but changing the volume on any of the players changes all three. Perhaps this isn't really a "by player" setting but is instead "by zone"? Looks like the former in the UI, but seems to work like the latter on my system. I'd appreciate any help (or somebody doing a test to see if they can achieve what I'm trying to do). I'm running Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.1 - 1494667952 so if there's been a recent change in this area, then it may be fixed. I'm an infrequent upgrader of the server since my system is pretty rock solid at the moment and does everything I need (apart from the above!). M.

Re: [slim] How can I have albums sorted chronologically?
I wanted this for a while and a problem with compilation albums (I tag each songs original release year) meant that it didn't work satifactorarilily. I bit the bullet and entered an ALBUMSORT tag which means everything is chronological within each artist, exactly as I wanted and I think as you desire. My albumsort tag was firstly made by copying the YEAR tags from track 1 of the non-VA albums and the highest value from the Various Artist albums. I then went through and updated the oddities - mostly from people who released two albums a year. I went for 2011a and 2011b for example.

Re: [slim] My story of picking betamax...
Thank goodness for a post slightly down on SB that hasn't descended into slanging. I am playing poker and drinking Talisker, so I apologise now if any of the following is disjointed etc. I think it is fairly well documented [citation needed] that VHS won when the porn industry started releasing very little on Betamax format. Perhaps a salutory lesson for Logitech - they keep trying to get in bed with Napster and Spotify. They need to be trying to get in bed with Cathy Barry (you can Google her - I went to school with her). I struggled with a Netgear MP101 and enjoyed the results. I've struggled with my Logitech stuff but again enjoyed the results. I think there's a lot of stuff released now that falls well short of being ready for release. If my Mum bought a washing machine and found that it didn't complete a couple of the cycles occasionally until it had it's firmware updated, she'd be bamboozled. Yet that's exactly what happened when she went into a high street shop and laid down her cash for a new video recorder (she walked out with a PVR). Some people and some products expect plug and play. I doubt there's anything that really realises this dream for music streaming (Philips Streamium looked good to me - whatever happened to them?). I've always plugged in a TV and it's worked, same for a CD player and same for an amp. And I've never bought a cassette deck that, after setting up, I needed to consult the internet to get it working properly (in fact, for most of these products, I never had to look at the instruction manual). At the moment, streaming music through the house demands know how and if you can't be bothered then you return your purchase to the store. Have just read the post that states the Duet was a pup. For me it's the best fit of the SB products. I want a good controller (and the SB Controller always has that quality factor with anybody who picks it up) and the audio nuggets can go off and hide in a corner. My audio equipment is not on a nice rack in full display. It's hidden away from sight to stop my front room looking like a branch of Currys. I have one receiver in the kitchen hidden in the coping of a kitchen cabinet, the receivers are that slender. Lovely. When receivers are cheap on ebay, I'll be bidding on a few. In summary, the best product doesn't always win the day. And don't always go for your AJ, even when they're suited.

Each of my tracks has one and only one year, but they are different across an album - mostly compilation albums but also CDs with bonus tracks.

If I go to 1969 then the files played seem to be all those with an Album Year of 1969 (I've forgotten how Logitech work out the album year, I have all the seperate tracks tagged). Annoyingly, this means that remixes from old albums are played in the wrong year (a 2005 dance mix of a track from a 1969 album would be played as 1969). Also, compilation albums are often wrong unless all the tracks are from the same year. Does anybody use these levels (Artist, Year, Genre) to play a lot of their music?
