[slim] Any way to contro left/right balance with my iPad
I have been using SB2 controlled by my iPad for many years and it brings us much joy. My one wish is for a way to control L/R balance without getting up from the sofa. Depending on where I sit it does make a difference, and basically I am too lazy to get up to manually adjust my receiver.

Re: [slim] Spotify Buffering on SB2 but NOT on my iPAD. What is this about?
So to re-cap... I was unable to play music using the Spotify Plugin... even though it had been working for more than a year. It got stuck with a Buffering 1% display on the SB2. (I use the LMS on my MacBook running Mavericks). However, I also noted that I was getting increasing number of long pauses due to buffering while playing my own Apple Lossless files. So now thinking maybe it is my system??? Looking at Activity Monitor I noted a Soagent not responding. I have no idea what this means or whether it is even relevant so decided to Re-start my MacBook). And, as if by magic, the Buffering problem vanished and Spotify is working perfectly! So, what the heck??? (Also, no Soagent error ).

[slim] Spotify Buffering on SB2 but NOT on my iPAD. What is this about?
Hi, I have my Squeezebox2 connected via WiFi and am using the Triode Plugin for SPOTIFY. Occasionally (such as this morning) the music stops with a Rebuffering or Buffering appearing on the SB2. Today it seemed to stop at 1% and was stuck there. I tried a few things including restarting the Server but same thing. I believe my internet speeds are quite good as is the WiFi strength. This does not happen all the time. What puzzled me was that I then went to Spotify on my iPad and could stream the exact same music at the exact same quality (EXTREME, i.e., 320kbs) with no problem whatsoever. More data is that the SB2 is having no problem with Pandora or even with my AppleLossless files streaming from may MacBook. Any ideas? Is this a Plugin problem??

[slim] Playlist Confusion: which is which?
I am a Squeezebox 3 user with SqueezePad on my iPad. I use the Triode Spotify Plugin and have been getting confused about playlist creation and use. Perhaps it is something I am doing wrong. I should also mention that I use iTunes to organize my music. I seem to see different playlists on the Squeezebox Browser (I guess it is now called the Logitech Media Server) on my MacBook Pro 1. There is a Playlist under My Music which seems to include my iTunes playlists as well as playlists formed when I Save the playlist from the right side of the Media Server or the SqueezePad App (basically the Now Playing Playlist). 2. There is a completely different Playlist found on the Media Server under MY APPS/ SPOTIFY This playlist seems to contain ONLY those Albums which I have added from the Left side of the Media Server from within the Spotify page. When I click on the M near the Album I select Add to Playlist. This Playlist only contains albums I add in this way. Also, I do not know how to Add multiple albums to these playlists. For example, when i choose another album to add to this playlist and I select add to existing playlist, I get yet another playlist selection. This one is a HUGE playlist of everything including my iTunes playlists and individual albums??? 3. Another playlist can be found under My Apps/ SPOTIFY playlist and is a listing named SPOTIFY PLAYLIST . THis seems to be only playlists formed in the SPOTIFY BROWSER APP on my MacBook Pro and NOT the playlists formed with the MediaServer. Can someone tell me what is going on and what I might be doing wrong. I would like to create spotify playlists from the Media Server and be able to Add new Albums to these playlists.

In the web interface you see for the album the album art of the first track but when you play an track you see the right embedded art. If you want to see the right embedded album art on the Squeezebox Touch you can choose the more button (+) and then show album art (do not known if this is the right name because I use another language) I can advise you to look at your tags with an tag-editor for instance Mp3tag.

In iTunes the cover art is shown for every track. These are CD's that I have ripped using iTunes and I believe that this is the way iTunes works.

And, I dont know how to sort these out using MAC OSC. It is easy in iTunes to sort on kind but then how is it possible to move files to another folder from within iTunes?

DaveWr;360822 Wrote: Further to my last post - I used to use a single library for the family iPod collection plus Squeezecenter. I used the scan for only checked music in iTunes feature of Squeezecenter. In iTunes you can sort by Size to get the AAC compressed files. Select these and copy to a playlist Compressed. Then go into the playlist and deselect all the tick marks (I think its column 1) by control + click on an entry or shift + click. This clears of adds all check marks (sorry on business overseas so cannot check currently). This will deselect all you iPod music, then Squeezecenter will only use the checked items. This is a little tedious long term, two libraries is slightly more time, but if you use / change iPod music frequently easier, keeping everything correct without full Squeezecenter rescans is a little tricky. Regards Dave Dave These are both clever ideas. Thanks. I think using the check boxes idea might be easier for now than recopying files.

[slim] Unusual request? filter my music for lossless format?
I am using the Apple Time Capsule as my music server and it is working out fairly well. I rip my music with iTunes into apple lossless (ALAC) but also have older files, AAC files and conversions of the ALAC files into smaller 128Kbps formats to sync my IPODS. This seems to work pretty well since I can sync to specific playlists I have made for the IPOD music. It is labor intensive but it works and I have low patience for learning new music software other than iTunes. HERE IS MY PROBLEM/QUESTION: I use SB3 as a source for my high quality music system in my home. I have pointed the Squeezecenter directly to my music files and have scanned all my music on the Time Capsule. (I stopped using the iTunes TAB but have it scan the music library directly each night).HOWEVER, when I select an album to play, it has duplicate copies in the 2 formats ...the ALAC and the AAC or MPEG. Thus when I play an album it repeats the songs and this is annoying. Is there any way to tell SC to only play one format, or filter out lower bit rates? Or even to sort by the kind of format? Any other ideas ? thanks so much.

[slim] Is there a simple way to adjust L/R balance on Squeezebox?

Re: [slim] For Apple OS: Music Manager/Ripping Software?
Thanks for your quick reply Eric. The only reason I was thinking about going to FLAC is that I understand that all other Formats have to be converted on-the-fly by the SB3...and that FLAC is a native format. I didn't know if this would introduce any issues with large lossless files and the wireless network. Another thing--- I will be storing very large music files on a central hard drive which will be on the network connected to the Apple Time Capsule. I want to keep a seperate smaller library of compressed (MP3) files direcly on my Macbook...to synch with my IPOD through ITUNES. Can I use iTunes for both libraries from the same Mac? Or will it get confused? THat is why i thought i should use different software. Larry Eric Seaberg;285791 Wrote: If you want to stick to FLAC as your format of choice, that's OK, but iTunes won't know what it is if you ever want to convert to something else for your iPod! As far as I'm concerned, lossless is lossless, whether it's Apple Lossless (ALAC) or FLAC. I prefer to use ALAC because of the options I mentioned, i.e. iPod access. BTW, just because they call it APPLE LOSSLESS doesn't mean they're the only guys that designed it! The format has MAJOR influence from Dolby Labs and others, attempting to make it a universal multi-channel codec (capable of 5.1 surround) that will work into the future. It's not a codec to skip over just because it's from Apple!! Now, that being said, you can use MAX (freeware available at http://sbooth.org/Max/) which also does FLAC and others, but the BEST thing about iTunes is the EASE OF USE for dealing with tags! I've had NO issues ripping my library as ALAC for use with Slim and converting ALAC to a 'lesser format' for iPod playback.

I am using Fishbone skin on the web interface for slimserver 6.5.4 I am also using ITUNES with my Ipod. I am trying to figure out the best way to Tag and organize my music library. I am planning to re-rip all of my CD's in Apple Lossless...I understand that there are advantages to FLAC but want to keep things simple for myself...especially since i intend to continue synching to my IPOD. I could use some advice... keeping in mind that I am a newbie to most of this and want to keep it all very simple and easy. Some of my questions--- - When I click BROWSE I get a list of Albums with an alphabetical index. Thus clicking B gives me all of my B albums. IS there a way to get a complete list that I can scroll...not just limited to a single letter? - The Beginner Wiki suggests for Classical music to put the name of the artist/composer at the beginning of the Album title. such as Beethoven--Fifth symphony. Is this a good idea for pop music as well? Would it help to have artist name before title of his/her album? Such as Beatles-- Abbey Road as the Album Title for Abbey Road. - I am not sure what to do about Genre assignments. I do not want to assign multiple Genre's since iTunes/Ipod i believe does not support it. So for example, would one put Norah Jones as Vocal, as Pop, or Is there some wisdom that you could share? - And again, I am not sure about the best and simplest way to make use of the playlist features.
