ModelCitizen;337887 Wrote: Thisd means that MuiscIP writes it's stuff to you files' tags, right? Right. If so... it doesn't seem to make a scan trivial for me. Since installing MIP SC scans take twice as long as SC seems to scan my music files once (for conventional tags?) and then scans them again for MIP tags... so scanning my library takes 4.5 hours in total. Not trivial at all I was referring only to the MIP scan as comparatively trivial. Notice - Squeezecenter scan is accomplished overnight. Also, I backup the completed SC index and re-use it for new install. Hence, the SC scan is not needed but only for newly added data.

It is also not hard to believe that several things can get in the way of that when it's just email. It's all a matter of priority. If this matters to you, which it clearly does, phone is much more direct. Case in point: before Christmas, I had an issue with an order from BestBuy here in canada. They had shipped, but Canada Post showed no activity two weeks after the ship date. Two more weeks of emailing and nothing. Then after my three attempts at making email contact...I had nothing. Three days later, I got two automated acknowledgements of my first two emails and a response to the third stating that a trace had been put on the package and I'd have further info in 10 days. No idea why it took so long, or why it all came at once, but I was on vacation so didn't care to do much more than email.

Re: [slim] Does Logitech Streaming Systems know the meaning of Customer Service?
Imagine my distress. Imagine you are Logitech and have just sold an SB3 to a paying customer. The unit arrives fully and professionally packaged. The buyer installs Squeezecenter, plugs in the hardware, sets up the wireless config with the REMOTE and scans his library. Within hours (or minutes) he is listening to music on his home audio system. Bravo Logitech! ok, Imagine you are me and have just sold an SB3 to a paying customer. The unit arrives (almost) fully and professionally packaged. The buyer installs Squeezecenter, plugs in the hardware, does not set up the wireless config because there is NO REMOTE! The stupid seller did not ship the damn REMOTE! The stupid seller realized within minutes after shipping that he did not ship the stupid remote and contacts the buyer to inform him of his stupid error. Then, after searching high and low, cannot find the original SB3 remote (been using the slick backlit remote that came with his TP). Stupid seller then informs buyer that he has lost the stupid remote and has ordered a replacement through Logitech and will have it shipped directly to him and forward the shipping info when received. The stupid seller hears nothing from stupid Logitech. The buyer hears from stupid seller nothing heard from stupid Logitech. Stupid Logitech says nothing (stupidly). Stupid seller embarrassed for stupid Logitech and himself. Stupid seller tries to remedy the stupid situation, but no respose. Stupid seller looking real stupid now. Stupid seller becomes even more stupid by posting on the stupid SD forum. Gets a bunch of stupid replies. Stupid is as stupid does. Finally, Mike M. at Logitech notifies stupid seller and offers to investigate the stupid problem. Stupid seller finally has something to tell his buyer...that yes indeed their IS a tracking number and YES the order was shipped. Moral here? No. Just a stupid story about a stupid mistake that could be made by any stupid induvidual or company. . -- haunyack Transporter - BK 200.2 - Vandersteen 3A Signature C.G.

[slim] Does Logitech Streaming Systems know the meaning of Customer Service?
Short answer - No. I ordered a replacement remote for an SB3 I sold on ebay to a very patient fellow back east. When I ordered the backlit remote, the order page assured me that I would receive order confirmation/tracking info. What do I gat after my CC has been debited for $44.00+ and over a week of waiting for the promised info - nothing. No response to my various subsequent requests for any info regarding the order. This sucks. Nice job Logitech. I'm sure that my customer will not soon be your customer. . -- haunyack Transporter - BK 200.2 - Vandersteen 3A Signature C.G.

kdf;278176 Wrote: Have you actually contacted customer service about your order? This forum is not the way to reach customer service. Sean has already posted here before that NO charges are put on cards until shipment. So perhaps before you go all negative again, you should make an inquiry and allow a response. Customer service can't operate when customers don't actually bother. Sounds like your current beef is with shipping, possibly even UPS for not issuing their usual shipping notice. It's up to you to let customer service know of the problem and let them take care of your needs. -kdf On 10-Mar-08, at 8:32 PM, haunyack wrote: Skunk;278168 Wrote: Why are you selling your customers a squeezebox without a remote?

SuperQ;278192 Wrote: On the other hand, here are my experiences contacting SlimDevices customer support: #1: My SB won't boot at all. Total failure after 3 months. I emailed support on sunday, the got back to me monday morning and said it could be the wifi card (known issue). I removed the card, worked fine. They swapped out the card, and it has been fine since. #2: I was at an open house and said, hey, do you have any back covers for the slimp3?. Sean said, hold on a sec. Came back over with a rear cover set, free of charge many years after the product had been discontinued. Not to be mean, but the phone number in the card transaction is there for a reason. Hi SuperQ, I enjoy your input on the forum but I must say, Lucky You. Logitech offers multiple avenues of contact. I simply chose one avenue that is offered as did you. Why should the response depend on choice of contact? It would not. Cheers! . -- haunyack Transporter - BK 200.2 - Vandersteen 3A Signature C.G.

Once I realized the nature of the software makeover, I began to accept the changes and learn to interface with the new system intuitively rather than fight it in an effort to regain my comfort zone.
