Re: [slim] SB Classic Boom Disconnect
I had a similar problem recently: 2 SB3s, 1 Touch 1 Radio connected to SBS; from time to time one SB3 would lose connection with the server and would not reconnect without a server reboot. It was not always the same SB3 that would lose the connection, but the problem did not affect the Touch or Radio. Each had a unique IP address.

Re: [slim] Stop The Monster cable Bullying
AndreE;426357 Wrote: Just think. The copyright allows having any word or word combination patented/protected by copyrights... Anything what we say would be violating one or another patent/copyright claim... Let's be clear: this concerns neither patents nor copyright. Monster are asserting trademark rights, and they have a history of doing so in an aggressive and often unmerited manner. A word should only be registered as a trademark if it is not one that other honest traders would legitimately want to use (eg a descriptive or laudatory word). Moreover, a trademark is registered for specific goods and services provided by the owner. The vice arises where a trademark owner unreasonably attempts to monopolise his mark in respect of unrelated goods or services of a third party; eg a cable seller trying to prevent a mini-golf provider from using the same name. Pretty much every business has at least one trademark, and will be careful to prevent its improper use by competitors. A TM is a valuable asset. As shown by Lotus (shoes), Lotus (software) and Lotus (sports cars) there is no reason why a non-descriptive word should not function as a distinctive trademark for several different - and non-competing - concerns without inconveniencing the public in any way. Unfortunately, Monster don't seem to see things that way... -- Peter314 Peter314's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14028 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55787 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Spotify on Squeezebox
I hadn't seen the Spotify blog. Thanks for pointing it out. I'm sure you are right that it's only a question of time. I'm just impatient by nature and really want them to get on with it.

[slim] Spotify on Squeezebox
Not sure whether this has been discussed here, but there is a useful guide to streaming Spotify via a Squeezebox: http://getsatisfaction.com/spotify/topics/can_you_stream_to_a_squeezebox?utm_medium=widgetutm_source=widget_spotify About three quarters of the way down, Magnus gives detailed instructions for how to output Spotify from a pc to a SB. I am indebted to Simeon at pfm for pointing this out. It works really well! You have to use the pc to select the music, so it's not a perfect solution. But until official support for Spotify is made available, this will do me very nicely. :) -- Peter314 Peter314's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14028 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61891 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
