Re: [slim] Pre-Announcement: ickStream
Maybe i don't get it, but where is the difference to Logitech/Mysqueezebox.com when you're talking about payed cloud service? When the income will not cover the costs someday, someone will have to make a decision and close the cloud service as logitech did with the squeezeboxes. So where is the advantage for us consumers? Just another name, but with the same end? Why not build a plattform for everyones own cloud at home? mule's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30049 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98467 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

pippin wrote: You can do that with ickStream, if you like. But what is your cloud at home? Most people don't want to have a server running 24/7 and I, for myself, enjoy having access to music I don't yet know. This will not go away, people will use online services for a lot of their music listening, probably most of it. Maybe i really don't get it, but your business model depends on your cloud services, right? Why should you then give one the oppertunity to build up a totally independent plattform from your cloud services? This makes no sense, because it would decrease your income and therefore endanger the operation of your cloud services. So what does you can do that with ickStream really mean: That some services depend (as with my squeezebox.com) to your cloud services, even if the main core is installed on ones private cloud? Then we're once again at the beginning of the story: mysqueezebox.com but with another name. Regarding private cloud server 24/7: When talking about a private cloud using the word server is already a mistake, because common people think of servers that they are loud as jets, costs hundreds of dollars per year for power consumption, are big as skyscrapers, are worse for healthy reasons and so on... But we know that this is totally wrong nowadays: You can build up small systems with low power consumption which has so much horsepower that they can do much more than just handle your music library and some music services. The only thing that is missing is that someone builds up a a ready to go hard- and software platform which can be handled by consumers. I never understood why logitech tried to implement the LMS into the touch. Why not build up some small ready to go nano server (sorry: private cloud system)? mule's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30049 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98467 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Davidg1;622336 Wrote: Michael, great to talk to the guy owning this app :) It would be good if we could have better support for Napster playlists - adding to them, as in the bug, but also better (faster) synchronisation. I had to pretty much give up using my Napster playlists on the Squeezebox because even if i created a playlist on the PC I could never know when it would appear on my Squeezebox. Sometimes this was many many days later!! Same here, cancelled my subscription today, because about 4 months of waiting to fix all the bugs by Napster should be enough. Until today my library sorted by artist isn't usable, because it lists many albums i have never added to my library. And adding and deleting songs to/from my library isn't supported anymore and there is no info if this functionality will ever come back. @Michael: Today the guy at the napster hotline told me (while cancelling my subscription) that only logitech can solve the issues by implementing the new API correctly... -- mule mule's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30049 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86691 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SqueezePad vs iPeng vs Squeezecast
If you wish to have music playback on the iPad you can only choose between Squeezepad and Squeezecast. Since Squeezepad has music plaback integrated, Squeezecast is no more an alternative, because Squeezepad can do everything that Squeezecast can do ... and much more! If you don't need music playback on the iPad you can choose between iPenq and Squeezepad. In my eyes the decision between those two apps depends more on personal taste than on functionality. Have a look at the gui and the feature list and take your decision. -- mule mule's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30049 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84262 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] 7.4.2 nearing release, need your help!
ChrisOwens;513039 Wrote: Right now we have users that are not able to hear their alarms AT ALL regardless of if they have headphones attached. Alarms are simply NOT GOING OFF. Can we agree that that bug is more important? I think we probably can. The headphones bug now has a concrete target and is assigned to an actual developer who still works for the Squeezebox team. This bug is not getting fixed in a couple weeks, true, but really it's in pretty good shape! Yes we can agree that no alarm is even worse in comparison to an alarm that only fires through headphones. My only comment: Why has the radion been released with such a buggy software? Answer: Because the hardware was done long before the software was ready. Same happens now with batteries. Once again a buggy software version for the radio is beging pushed out in order to sell the batteries. And next time there comes a buggy version for the touch, because the hardware is ready since september/october of last year? One suggestion to logitech: Just stop the work of you hardware department and give you software department some air to breathe, because such products are only working when hardware and software fits together!

Re: [slim] 7.4.2 nearing release, need your help!
I'm upset! Once again the radio alarm bug: alarm coming through headphones instead of loudspeakers is not going to be fixed although targeted for 7.4.2 release and although it should have worked from the right beginning as Caleb has been stated on this forum! Don't you think it's not a critical bug when you're not being waked up by an alarm because it doesn't come out of the speakers? What should be more critical than not being able to hear the alarm sound? :-( -- mule mule's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30049 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74608 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] 7.4.2 nearing release, need your help!
Great to hear that the target for the bug stated above was just moved from 7.4.x to 7.5.0. So, will it ever get fixed? Seems not! Maybe because it's hardware related and not only a software bug?! Otherwise it could not be too difficult to fix it when keeping in mind that Caleb stated that it was already working while the radio was in beta! So what is the truth about it? -- mule mule's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30049 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74608 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
