You could always just cancel in November and wait awhile if your only use for SiriusXM is through your Squeezeboxes.

Re: [slim] Game On: Sonos has an iPhone app
tamanaco;355346 Wrote: I'm really taken by the devotion of iPhone users. This is a compliment. I guess my issue with the iPhone or any cell phone as a remote is that I get too many calls and emails. Even after hours. After I get home from work I put my phone on its charger and don't want to go near it for fear that I might end up doing some more work. Or with the current downsizing trend I don't want to get the news that I'm one of the lucky ones selected for an extended vacation. I want to be left alone while I'm at home listening to my SqueezeBox. In my case, I see the iTouch as a better option for the Sonos solution. I agree about the touchscreen interface of the iPhone/iTouch... it leaves a lot to be desired as I compare with a traditional remotes with physical buttons. Call me old fashion, but I want buttons in my remote. As I said before, for me listening to music is more of a passive activity than an interactive one. I want to hold a beer (an IPA preferably) on one hand and the remote on the other and without looking at the remote lower/raise the volume or skip to the next song. I am not one of those folks that can handle a touchscreen with one hand without looking at it. Having to use two hands to use my remote forces me to put down my beer. That's a no, no... after a long day. I have played with the Phillips Pronto and with the not too popular Harmony 1000. These had ergonomically efficient physical buttons for certain frequently used functions. I don't see these in the iPhone/iTouch. Not having at least a comfortable volume up/down button would drive me up a wall. Touchscreens are the trend, but I'm afraid that it also has its limitations as a remote. A combination of ergonomically placed buttons and a touchscreen would be best. Seeing all these iPhones I'm thinking I need to go to touchscreen school. I might not be as popular as you, but I have never gotten a phone call on my iPod Touch grin. My iTouch lays around like the SB Controller would (use to), and my iPhone is usually on my person, so it can be used at a moment's notice as well (although there is that chance someone might call me on that one). I'm not a fan of Apple's but this really is slick as a controller. I like physical buttons on my remotes too, but is not a remote. It's a controller with a view into SC, without having to look at the front panel of my SBs, or even be in the same room. I'm quite sure touchscreen school would be a very short class for someone like yourself. So if we can just get a native iPhone/Touch app, life would be truly grand. iPeng is nice, and pippen did a great job with it. But being a Safari app, it can never match the performance and smoothness of a well done native iApp. There simply is no down side to this. Those who don't get it, don't have to get it.

Waiting endlessly to have apps approved (and often not being approved for ambiguous reasons), together with their ultra-restrictive terms in the SDK agreement, has many developers pretty fed up. The AppStore was supposed to kill the iPhone Jailbroken apps, but seems to still be feeding the need for it. The AppStore is obviously the best way to profit from iPhone development. It has wide spread distribution access to potentially every single iPhone user. But many developers are still making money by selling Jailbroken apps via Cydia, when Apple feels the need to restrict their trade. Jailbreaking is safe, easy, and opens the iPhone's full potential. I can only hope that if for some reason, known only by Apple, Luke's or your apps get rejected, that you will consider going the Cydia route.

It has a server component similar to SqueezeCenter, but requires a little heftier hardware platform if you're planning on streaming HD video, or on the fly trans-coding from other formats. http://www.divx.com/connected/explore/ (I think the DivX Connected web site assumes you have the DivX web browser plug in installed to be able to see the videos of the UI in action.

Most of them are due to the shortcomings of Safari, which hopefully gets corrected with the 2.0/3G software release July 11th. It's fully expected that both will have software improvements over time.

I use several services, with each having their own strengths and weaknesses for my use. I've loved Pandora, using it since it first became available. But for some reason, they always seem to stick in some out of place piano bar music, completely out of the blue, after playing a great set of songs that match my criteria. I give the song a thumbs down, and up pops another piano bar tune. This happens for 3-4 tracks in a row before it gets back to what I expected. Very odd, and sometimes very annoying. I also love Rhapsody, for it's ability to find and play almost anything I, or my guests can think of. However, I'm not a big fan of their channels, as they seem limited for a service with so much music to choose from. Live365 and RadioTime are good. I listen to these services to find specific stations, but typically the audio quality is not great for the stations I listen too. Radio quality audio, usually worse than FM, but better than AM. My favorite service for just sitting and having a virtual DJ play music for me is definitely Slacker. The mix of popular and unique/obscure (but good and well placed in the mix) tracks, along with good quality sound. The ability to add to the stations, kind of like Pandora is very nice. So my vote is to all services for offering more choices than we've ever had in the past.

All of a sudden, starting yesterday evening, I can no longer access anything on Rhapsody. I can look through channels, search for music, and see all the tracks in my Rhapsody library, but whenever I try to actually play something I get the following error: Internal Rhapsody Error: Unable to Authenticate user I did a search here, and found several threads about Rhapsody issues, but nothing recent, and nothing that helped resolve this issue for me.

[slim] To Logitech: Are there plans....
I've been a Squeezebox 2/3 and SlimServer/SqueezeCenter user for several years. I've been looking for a wireless remote solution for all my Squeezeboxes to primarily be used from my patio. I've tried web browser based, and small client application based options on PDAs, UMPCs, and tablet PCs. Each one offered some good things, but all had some issue that I couldn't accept, to become the ultimate solution. When the controller arrived, I thought I finally had my answer. I patiently waited for it to become available without the Duet Received, since I already have 6 Squeezeboxes covering all my required zones. I purchased one as soon as it became available by itself. I am very please with the operation of the Controller, and know, as the Squeezebox and SqueezeServer, it will only get better from a software standpoint. But like all previous attempts at finding a remote, the Controller has one issue that I simply cannot get past. The Controller's screen is basically unusable anywhere with even a modest amount of ambient light. There are three issues I've found with the screen: 1. The screen is so dimly back lit, even at it's highest brightness setting, and using a wallpaper with the most contrast, as to make it useless in all but dark rooms. 2. The plastic covering the screen is very glossy, which causes reflections that, together with the dim back light, make the screen even harder to read. 3. Lately, after the short period of ownership, it appears a fog has come over the plastic cover. I've taken extremely good care of the device, and yet this fog cannot be cleaned off the cover. It appears the plastic has a film on both sides, inside and outside, again adding to the inability to read the screen. I love my Squeeze system, and want to love the Controller, but the screen is a real issue. This issue, for me, makes my investment in the Controller useless in it's intended purpose. Surely I cannot be alone in my disappointment with this screen. So, Logitech: Are there plans of releasing a Controller with a more usable screen in the future? And if so, what will you do for your existing users, who have paid full boat for a controller that is, in my case, unusable in the role it was intended to fill? Thanks in advance for your reply. PRGeno P.S. I must state again: I'm not some Sonos troll. I LOVE my Squeeze system, including the Controller, except for this screen issue.

Thank you so much for your help. -- PRGeno ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
