[slim] Re: Chances of Native Apple Lossless Support?

2005-10-31 Thread indianajones

i was thinking the exact same thing. i thought that one segment of the
codec was open source, but i didn't remember whether it was encoding or
decoding or where to read up on it. thanks for the link. so i guess the
question is whether or not you could use this tool to make it work.

but again, if you want to use it as a simple wireless-enabled display
for your a/v needs, wouldn't a pocket pc or psp do the same thing, or
am i missing something?

silly. but there's an active thread here discussing that very issue and
i must say it looks pretty spectacular...

[slim] Re: How to use FLAC?

2005-10-29 Thread indianajones

i hadn't responded yet because i wanted to listen for a week or so to
test it out. no, i don't hear any glitches or problems at all using the
method i described. playback is now 100% flawless using apple lossless.
i don't know what the problem you're having could be coming from. are
you wireless or wired? i have a wired sb1. i do  think i will be
getting sb3 shortly, so it will be interesting to see if there are any
problems again. as of right now though, i don't hear any glitching
after a week of critical listening on my setup...

sorry to say it but this is the silliest thread i've seen yet on here. i
understand the explanation, but its just silly. a sb without sound
capability would be like buying a car without an engine...

[slim] Re: Missing Files

2005-10-27 Thread indianajones

i've had the exact same problem since i first bought my sb. itunes
reports 6123 songs, while slimserver reports 6012. i have no idea what
the problem is, and i've never been able to fix it. when bought the sb
back in january i believe the software was 5.4 or something like that,
and the problem existed then and does now, all the way up to and
including 6.2

 Munge,
 
 Currently there is a bug with the SB2 using the Apple lossless.  It  
 cuts off the beginning of each songs slightly.  Sometimes you will  
 notice that by listening to the beginning of the songs but that's  
 rare.  The most problematic thing with that is when you are listening 
 
 to a continuous live recording CDs or any continuous recordings, you  
 will notice the gap between songs.  It gives you slight clicking  
 sound between the songs.  I have a lot of Apple lossless files myself 
 
 and I'm hoping that the issue will be solved soon.
 
 Best,

well, you are in luck my friend, as i have FINALLY figured out the
solution to our problem.

after about 6 months of effort and going back and forth with tech
support, i now have flawless apple lossless playback. the key is to
first go into the server options under file type. there you will see
the three apple lossless checkboxes, one for AIFF, one for FLAC and one
for MP3. the first two must be unchecked leaving just the apple-MP3
option checked. 

next go to player settings and go to audio. the last option, bitrate
limit, should be set to no limit so the apple lossless files will be
streamed as uncompressed pcm. this has resulted in not having that
pause in the beginning of each song that has caused me to nearly go
crazy over the past 6 months. let me know if it works for you, it sure
did for me!!!

[slim] Slight Pause as Songs Begin

2005-04-09 Thread indianajones

this is driving me crazy. when a song starts, it will play for a few
seconds, then there will be about a 1 second pause, then it will begin
again. i've noticed that it doesn't happen at all with mp3 files but
happens EVERY time and with every song with Apple Lossless files. I've
had the SB for about 2 months now and it has been flawless until this
started about a week and a half ago. please help.
