Re: [slim] Last.fm going?! Doesn't look good for Squeezebox users
Me too.:( I have over a year's Last FM subscription pre-paid. At least they say I can claim a refund (we'll have to see how quickly THAT happens...) FWIW - just as an alternative suggestion for ex Last FM subscribers - I still have a Napster/Rhapsody subscription which still has many of the same features, although its a bit dearer. Now if Napster disappeared that really would be the end of Squeezebox for me. I never really understood the appeal of Spotify (I have both but never use it). To me it seems twice the price for less (yes I know stream is better quality but I honestly can't hear the difference and the cover art on Spotify is dreadfully pixelated. asdti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38467 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101226 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Finally, the best Controller App arrives at iOS!
OK, so I *think* I know what was happening in my case. I'm not absolutely certain on the following, maybe Michael can confirm? When you first run the app it asks for login and username for mysqueezebox.com. This is fine and easily keyed-in. My problem (and the problem of others) was that the app then asks for the login ID and username for the local squeeze-server even though there wasn't one, and I couldn't get past this stage in any way, other than by using a different laptop. So I got to thinking about what had changed and my conclusion is this. Because I was trying to access a library with exactly the same name, but on a different laptop, the app was trying to connect using the previous settings. As soon as I renamed my library all was ok and it found mysb and no longer asked for the login ID and user name. I suspect that on ANY failure to connect, the app asks for a login ID and username, leading users to think that this is actually needed. Rather, I think it is the pp's default response to a failure to connect... Anyhow, all now works for me under W7 and I'm happy! -- asdti asdti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38467 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87212 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Finally, the best Controller App arrives at iOS!
I managed to get this working - by loading SBS onto a Vista Laptop. I'm busy troubleshooting, but I think that the app couldn't connect to a Network made of W7 pcs in a Homegroup configuration (even though none of them used passwords to access). As soon as I loaded it to a Vista laptop it worked fine... Strangely, however, iPeng, squeemote, and my two Duets could all connect to the W7 one - only the Logi app had issues.

Re: [slim] Finally, the best Controller App arrives at iOS!
Really unusual problem for me - when i load the app it asks for my mysqueezebox username and password, which I key in. It then asks for the username and password for my squeezebox server for my music library. I cannot for the life of me see why it needs this (there isn't one). Things I have checked: 1. My duets, my iPeng and my Squeemote connect immediately without asking for it 2. I checked in security in queezebox server and I have no password set and access allowed to all devices on my local network 3. I checked my firewall and squeezebox server is given full access 4. I checked windows 7 network sharing and sharing is set to no password Help?

Re: [slim] Finally, the best Controller App arrives at iOS!
Hi Michael iOS 4, latest SBS 7.4.1 r32171. I think (see official Logi threads too) that I'm not the only one. Odd thing is that nothing else (including my two duets) asks for this password/username. If I ignore it, then I get a mySB connection only (and I have to unload the iPhone app and re-download it to try to get into my music library again) Mark -- asdti asdti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38467 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87212 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Finally, the best Controller App arrives at iOS!
My bad, Michael - I meant 7.5.4 (the rest of my post above is correct!) I did also find another post somewhere else specifically about the squeezebox server (not mysb) password username issue! -- asdti asdti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38467 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87212 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Honestly, I'm not sure any of my non geeky friends would even get a $299 device with working built-in server. I think the Radio together with mysqueezebox.com is the best option available for the mass market, it has the right price and can with mysqueezebox.com be used for online music without a local server. It just needs mysqueezebox.com to be a bit more reliable than it has been during the last years.

Re: [slim] Any new Squeezebox Devices on the horizon?
TheLastMan;603560 Wrote: They always keep their roadmap very close to their chest until a product is almost ready for market. What we don't know is how successful the Squeezebox line is and whether Logitech consider it financially viable to extend the range further. It is a pretty niche product so that could be a major limiting factor. Although I concur that we don't know profitability, we DO have hints at volume. We know that the European sales of SB radio were higher than Logi expected - to such a degree that the server architecture has suffered (various Logi staff posted regarding this over the last 12 months). Now I agree that volume sales doesn't necessarily equate to profitability, but an organisation of Logi's size will surely have a fix on the required margins... I think the rage has further to go, yet.
