[slim] Alternative To Multiple Genre
Bit rusty on SB set up now as my system has been running sweetly smoothly for so long, I haven't had to play with it I just tag and add new music as and when. However with the (gradual) increase in hi-res downloads, my issue has started to get a bit irritating at times. Not sure if there is a simple solution. I listen to minimal classical so most of myslistening is to mainstream / jazz. I use the genre tag effectively for album genre. Close enough for me. However with an increasing number of DD / DTS rips, HiRes downloads i've added a 2nd genre. I play a lot of stuff via the random song option. The rub comes with the fact that I have 6 squeezeboxes a mix of SB2 (1) / SB3 (3) / Touch (2). One touch is in my serious system... with seperate DAC facility to take DTS passthru etc, so all is good. The second touch will handle 24/96, but not DTS o DD. The remainder obviously won't play any DD / DTS or 24/96. If I could skip these tracks it would be great. However if I use the select genre option include a track with say a 24/96 genre tag a rock genre tag, then exclude 24/96 from the genre list, it still obviouly plays because the rock tag is included... i.e. silence or worse...loud white noise. Is there any simple way of dealing with this that I am missing? I have my underlying directory structure set up to reflect these differences so could easily seperate. Suggestions appreciated.

Re: [slim] Playlists
I believe on my version of the server multiple genres can be added as either: Rock\\Wife Rock;Wife MP3Tag will create multiple tags in the first instance and a single tag in the second. In the second case you need to make sure that Squeezeserver has ; defined as a separator. I use the second method as that way the whole tag is shown in MP3Tag explorer Window (using the first method only the firts tag is shown in the explorer windowas far as I can see!!) You can create your own tags squeezebox will just report them no set up required. -- ntom SB3, Perpetual Technologies P1-A / P3-A, Naim82 pre + 4xNaim135 powers, Martin Logan SL3's(+ 2nd SB3 2xSB2's around the hus) ntom's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3197 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79285 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Transporter Bitrate Question
By coincidence just noticed the same thing on my standard Classic Squeezebox (playing through a separate DAC). I believe the Classic can't throughput 24/96 but downsamples at the server. The track info for a 24/96kHz before it is selected for playing shows Bitrate:3183kbps VBR. Once the track is actually playing the same info shows: Bitrate:3183kbps VBR (Coverted to 705.6kbps ABR). This doesn't happen with 44.1 tracks so assumed this was an indication it has been downsampled. If that's so, then maybe that's what's happening with your Transporter but if so there must be a setting somewhere to handle 24/96 without downsampling! As far as volume adjustment is concerned you must have volume levelling turned on somewhere in you ripping process -I replay gain. -- ntom SB3, Perpetual Technologies P1-A / P3-A, Naim82 pre + 4xNaim135 powers, Martin Logan SL3's(+ 2nd SB3 2xSB2's around the hus) ntom's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3197 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79308 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

If I try synchronising the wireless boxes this will also kick it off. Why should SC7 be more affected by network performance than 6.5 why should synchronising two boxes cause it when two completely different streams don't?

Re: [slim] Choppy playback, unlistenable :
Anyone got anywhere with this problem? I decided to try synchronising my players today -first time i've ever tried it. My players (2 x SB2 on wireless 1 SB3 on ethernet) were fine individually (7.0.1 SC) before. Now I've just got a new laptop so I logged on to this to set SC to synchoronise the players. Then tried playing a track the whole network hung. I spotted an error mesage on my laptop saying I had assigned a duplicate IP on the laptop which clashed with one of the wireless SBs. No prbs I thought -I changed the IP re-booted laptop. Turned router off on re-started network. But now the SB that had the IP clash will not play at all. It stutters a little but the buffer remains fimly at 0% or 1%. Signal strength is fine at 60%. It was all working fine before this. The other wireless player (which incidentally is several rooms away so has a worse signal) is fine. The wired player is fine. Somewhere the system is hung up with this player. The symptoms sound like those that others have posted. When I do network test on this one player every level fails. On the other players it is fine. I've tried doing a hard re-set on the SB2 concerned and setting up from scratch. No change. So I guess the problem is at the server end. I'm sure a re-install would solve the problem but I'd rather try get to the bottom of this if possible. Anyone able to suggest if there are any files I could clear out on the server to get it working again?

I tried evrything I could think of: re-start router, server, squeezebox, hard re-set of SB, changed IP adress, turned DHCP on, forced re-load of firmware etc etc and nothing worked -all to no avail. Eventually I tried connecting by ethernet it was fine -did a network test rock solid 100% on every level. Disconnected from ethernet re-connected via wireless hey presto fully functioning again -100% at 5000kbps. So somehow this cleared the block straightened out the hang-up wherever it was. Hope this helps someone out there to track down whats happening.

From the now playing screen if you scroll right does it appear when you scroll through the tags for the track playing? If not then it must be a tagging problem.

Not sure how you check this with dbpoweramp (I use MP3TAG you can clear the ID3 tags using this to be sure you have the correct tags). -- ntom SB3,Perpetual Technologies P1-A/P3-A,Naim82 + 4xNaim135, Martin Logan SL3 ntom's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3197 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47648 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Transporter Price
I din't kick off this post with the intention of focussing on value, only to note the apparent price rises in the UK. As you say taxes have not risen in the last year but the exchange rate has moved in sterling's favour with respect to US purchases. having said that, doing a search today, the only UK prices I can find are back to £1300 so maybe it was a few vendors hoping to make a quick profit£1300 at least makes it comparable when VAT duty are considered (to a $2000 US). As someone else stated in an earlier thread.a £999 price tag would make it much more attractive in UK. A UK price difference of £1100 on the SB3 would pay for a pretty good hi-end DAC Oh wellI guess I should have bought at the beginning when the free SB3 was thrown in!! -- ntom SB3, Perpetual Technologies P1-A / P3-A, Naim 82, 4 x Naim 135, Magneplanar MG3a ntom's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3197 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37730 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Wireless IP address
Thanks for reply As the tone of my second post above might imply, I have been pulling my hair out over this one! Finally got things working again this eveningquite by chance. I went back to square one, turning off encryption, turning on SSID etc all to no avail. Then I happened to be reading an earlier post regarding what is written on the base of the SB re: SB1 / SB2. Then..was looking through the info page on my SB2 which won't connect, and saw the MAC address. Now having just looked at the label on the base of my SB, I realised it was not the same address. I changed it hey presto all the problems have gone away. I have no idea how it changed originally (didn't even know it could be -thought this was hard coded into a device?). So posted this info in case anyone has similar symptoms: i.e. SB appears to simply not connect with the wireless connection. I don't understnd why the MAC address would prevent a connection anyway -maybe someone else can explain!! Note: I am NOT using any fancy security i.e. restricting access through the router by MAC address -- ntom SB3, Perpetual Technologies P1-A / P3-A, Naim 82, 4 x Naim 135, Magneplanar MG3a ntom's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3197 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37538 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Transporter Price
Has anyone bought a Transporter in the UK? Pricing here seems ludicrous, with on-line prices anywhere between £1300 £1700 (approx $3350). That's a Squeezebox plus very expensive DAC...or maybe a squeezbox in every room. Why is this with Slim Devices website showing $2000 or a little over £1000. -- ntom SB3, Perpetual Technologies P1-A / P3-A, Naim 82, 4 x Naim 135, Magneplanar MG3a ntom's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3197 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37730 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Wireless IP address
Have a wireless connection problem. Have a SB2 which was up running OK on wireless. Was having a connection problem elsewhere on my network swithched from static IP to DCHP. Once problem was resolved, I changed back to static IP. Now SB won't connect. Tried with cable static IP all OK. When connect wirelessly no ball. Tried factory reset but basically it never connects to the specified network. Am baffled as can't see anything that has changed. One thing I am unsure of: when I connect with cable I can specify an IP address. When I connect by wireless (even after factory reset) I get no option to enter IP addresshow do I get this option to appear again...?

Re: [slim] Adjusting L/R balance?
Just a thought but my Squeezebox1 allows L / R adjustmentbut the option doesn't appear on my SB3 -I presume this is a firmware thing rather than a set up.

[slim] Re: 6.3.0: Many Duplicate Albums Listed (as well as duped New Music, Album Art, etc)
As one who looks in from time to time it's interesting to see the responses to the 6.3 release I upgraded some time back, encountered the compilation issue, read a few threads on it concluded I needed to tag compilations as such -took no time with mp3 tag about 700 albums all told. My point is that as far as I was concerned it was no big deal I've got used to having to tinker with settings etc. I've got used to getting p'ed off with my belkin router occasionally failing to recognise the wireless connection This is a product that requires some level of technical understanding a little patience and technical nurturing, but rewards with outstanding sound quality and outstanding vfm. The nature of open source is great with sometimes unpredictable functionality + rapid response to issues. Downsides ...poor documentation not much packaging of new releases. Sure that more time explaining what's in a new release the possible impact on existing library would mean people making a more informed decision as to whether to upgrade or not. Of course if you are like me, you'd upgrade anyway, curse for a few day's while you get it all working how you want it again, then settle back to enjoy until the next time.!! -- ntom SB3, Perpetual Technologies P1-A / P3-A, Naim 82, 4 x Naim 135, Magneplanar MG3a ntom's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3197 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25070 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Ethernet cable length problem...???
Can anyone suggest where my problem may liei'm left scratching my head at the moment!! I have been using SB3 for some time using wireless all is fine. Last weekend I thought i'd try out a cable connection for the heck of it to see if it sounds any different Installed cable -it is routed all around loft down an outside wall -prob about 45 metres of cable ( took a few hours to install). Connect up nothing! The connection LED on my modem does not come on. So I rewired the connections same problem. I've tried a continuity test on pins 1,2,3 6 which I believe are the relevant pins it checks out! Plug in my RIO Karma FLAC player it's fine, both ethernet lamps come so cable should be OK. Prob with SB3 maybe? No! Ive plugged SB3 into my hub using a 1m ethernet cable it's fine. What could be wrong the longer cable connects to a RIO Ok its seen on the network. Use the SB3 nothing. Q: Is the SB3 ethernet connection not happy with low signal levels -whats the longest cable connection out there that works OK?? Could it be that the ethernet cable comes through the wall amongst a bit of a spaghetti of hifi cable connections -i've done my best to re-arrange, but no joy. Tried alternate router connections no joy Thought ethernet could take 100m??
