[slim] Alternatives to Spotify
Hello All, I have a Spotify account, and use the Spotty plugin happily. What if I wanted to try Amazon, Youtube or Idagio music services? Idagio is recommended for classical, and that's why I mention it. Is there a way to use them with Squeezebox server, or a plugin is required?

Re: [slim] Bluetooth speaker with pcP
Hi Paul, I followed the instructions from the link you provided: If you have a computer that is running Windows (7 - 64bits for me) you can modify the "initial device bootmode". To change the device bootmode : Download the BlueSuite to modifiy "BlueCore Persistent Store" : http://www.kcwirefree.com/docs/BlueSuite_2_5.zip Unplug your Bluetooth dongle Install the BlueSuite Software (default options) Plug your Bluetooth dongle in another port than previously Run CSR BlueSuite 2.5.0 / PSTool as Administrator With the first window : Choose Transport = USB then Port = \\.\csr0 and click OK In the Filter box, type bootmode then click on the item "Initial device bootmode" Note the hex number in case something goes wrong (mine was 0002), then change to Click on the Set button then click on the Close button Wait some seconds then unplug your Bluetooth dongle. Unfortunately the situation is unchanged. The same dongle did work with Max2Play... I am not interested in the Jivelite interface, and beside that M2P kept disconnecting from the network. I guess you must turn on BT from CLI..

Re: [slim] 9 y old slimdevice SB3 died
hi, I was very sad when one of my SB died because they are not easy to find even on eBay. Then I started to explore a replacement with a Raspberry, Squeezelite and Hifiberry DAC. I am very pleased with the result: you lose display and remote, so you need pc or smartphone handy, which is not a problem for me. On the other side, you can have addons not possible with a SB: in my setup I added a USB thermometer to monitor my room temp (it's a country house I use on weekends) and bridged a wifi AP to the ethernet cable. The sound is just great, the DAC has superior specs than the original SB.

Re: [slim] Good Squeezebox alternative?
Mice are for everybody, SBs are not, they are too complex for most individuals. Actually, my first attempt to build a SBS was aimed to learn Linux playing around during the holidays in 2006. Thanks to SB, I have now a window$ free home and office! Also, hi-fi is for some people, video is for everybody. Just look at how many (real) hifi dealers are still in business in the last 20 years. My aim with SB, was finding a bridge between my quality hifi system, and internet radio and music library. I listen more to radio than to my own library, but don't even know what SB.com is all about, I am pretty happy listening to national broadcasts from all over the world. That said, I don't think that Logitech is the best company to manage a niche business.

Re: [slim] Good Squeezebox alternative?
I would like to add that, because it is fitted with a quality DAC, and you can even add an external one, while somewhat inexpensive, the SB leaves the door open to a high-end upgrade. This cannot be an argument for those that are happy to listen to their plain iPods, which are the vast majority. About running a server at home, it can have many scopes: I use it to backup my laptop, store pictures, music, security camera images, stream video to the TV or other networked PCs, FTP, web, and SB server. -- gian --- town: Musical Fidelity Dr. Thomas, Preamp II, Infinity 7K, Squeezebox Classic (2), Squeezebox Radio, Ubuntu 10.4 LTS server country: Musical Fildelity A-5, Infinity Renaissance 90, Squeezebox Classic (2), SB Touch, Ubuntu 10.4 LTS server gian's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6702 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91090 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

hello All, I do not think I really understood what's behind Duet. Is it just a different way to manage the music library, moving the display from the receiver to the remote?

Re: [slim] Audiophile wishlist
Sean, I didn't really mean to have SD mod my SB, rather that I would buy a new, improved Squeezebox. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I'd prefer spending $800-1000 for an original Slimdevices' project, than have mine modified by someone else. This Super SB might just lack some Transporter features, such as connectivity, so that it does not harm its sales. About buying better speakers, you may think that my Infinity RS 7K, being more that twenty years old, should be ready for retirement. Well, no. I have been listening a few days ago to new speakers in the 5K euro range, that were FAR from approaching their sound. I guess I must go for 10K euro speakers, but quite frankly, I don't feel the need. -- gian gian's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6702 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36022 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Audiophile wishlist
Hello All, I post here (and not in the Audiophile section), because I think it's a general issue. I know that there are many mods to improve the SB's sound. On my part I have no knowledge/time to do it myself, and I am not really willing to let my SBs be teared up by other hands than Slimdevices'. So, why not prepare a *premium* version of the SB, incorporating all mods and priced half way to the Transporter? I admit I won't go for the Transporter because I love *sooo much* the SB looks, but I would be interested to improve the sound. I wonder if I'm alone here... cheers, -GianLuca -- gian gian's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6702 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36022 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I was not happy to learn that Logitech acquired Slimdevices. I don't see anything that match between them, beside the fact they both work on digital material. SD is a model for its quality hardware, lean organization and outstanding support. The website design, the user forums and the wiki is something that competitors should only try to match.

[slim] Wireless range
Hi All, I started a thread a couple of weeks ago about signal strenght. My SB2 seemed to be much deafer that other wireless devices I have, and I could not use it at my bedside, 'cause it was more distant from my AP, with large wall in between and a marble staircase. To add that, someone stated that SB3 had 30% less reception than SB2, so I felt on a dead end. I decided to purchase two SB3s anyway, and I'm happy to say that my SB3 is much more sensitive than SB2, and it works fine placed in my bedroom. To give some figures, I get 33% on my SB2 and 70% on my SB3. I am planning to replace the SB2 antenna with a longer stud, but would like to know if the insides of SB2 hide any trimmer or is there any tinkering one can try to inprove wireless range. regards, -Gian -- gian gian's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6702 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26943 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
