Re: [slim] Where to buy in Canada
Umm, I'm not the poster you're responding to, but my experience with UPS has been absolutely horrible. No other shipper ever causes me problem (well, Canada Post has misdirected two items in 30 years, not bad for somebody who delivers five addressed items to me per business day). UPS has taken more than three months to deliver an item, has run over an item with a truck, has delivered my package to a random address in a different city, has tried to collect COD on item which was paid for, declared a computer printer leather goods to customs (leather has a high duty; computer equipment, none), and I found a $600 package of books left at the curb at the end of my dirveway, in the rain. They also delivered somebody else's package to my house once. Even when everything goes right, UPS is generally slower than Canada Post. These are my personal experiences, out of less than 20 deliveries UPS has made to me. UPS Canada might not be Satan, but they are the most horribly incompetent company I have ever dealt with.I really have no use for a courier company which loses out to Canada Post in every category. I don't generally find it necessary to pay $70 to avoid UPS; you can almost always find a competitor willing to use the post office (cheaper, faster, and incredibly more reliable than UPS). For my Squeezebox, Kawartha sent it to me by Canada Post, no problem.

Re: [slim] File not found message
I have a similar problem --- about half the songs in my collection won't play since I moved them to a USB drive (Red Hat Linux, Windows file system (not FAT, I forget the name), read-only). I can't figure out a difference between those that will work and those that don't (even within the same album), and sometimes songs start or stop working. A rescan does not change anything for me. The machine is due to be replaced so I haven't worked too hard on resolving the problem.

Anyone else interested? This has already happened at least once --- On this mailing list, I offered $US 20 or $CAN 30 for a software version of Squeezebox, and Richard started work on Softsqueeze less than a week later, and met all my requirements in less than two weeks from the time of my offer. Amazing! I was very pleasantly surprised at the results, especially considering the pittance I offered. I'm not sure Richard's wife will forgive me, but that's a separate issue :-). My original requirements said that for synchronization, I'd be happy for differences of 30 seconds. You can now all blame me for the synchronization problems in Softsqueeze. So... why don't you just make an offer on the developer list? ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
