[slim] pretty close to smashing my transporter to bits
i'm really getting so sick of this. sorry not to be all sweetness and light right now, but i'm really frustrated. i have a transporter and use a mac, panther OSX. i used to stream OGG files to my transporter from MP3 locker, but i wanted to go lossless. so i go out and spend a lot of money and time buying a huge harddrive to keep my songs on and spending a week burning all my cd's to it. i use itunes lossless. now when i go to play a song, it just stutters and stops all through the song, like it's trying to rebuffer (only it never rebuffers). my internet connection is fine and i'm not wireless to the transporter (it is hard wired to a mac airport express downstairs which then gets it's signal from a new time capsule upstairs). please note that i have been using this setup for months with mp3 locker with only the usual amount of problems (i was going to say no problems, but i have never had NO problems with streaming). any advice from you kind people before i go hang myself. -- ratso Martin Logan Vantages - Wyred for Sound SX-1000 monoblocks - Blue Circle BC-21 preamp - Slim Devices Transporter - APC H10 power conditioner - Cables by Me! ratso's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11493 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51297 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] pretty close to smashing my transporter to bits

Re: [slim] pretty close to smashing my transporter to bits
thanx to everyone for the replies. i do use a mac intel minis. as someone stated i find it hard to believe also that the issue with everyone is broadband related, it just doesn't seem to pass the smell test with me. as for what file types i use, i'm not really sure what they are classified as - i use itunes to burn into apple lossless, and the files are listed i believe as mp4's? -- ratso Martin Logan Vantages - Wyred for Sound SX-1000 monoblocks - Blue Circle BC-21 preamp - Slim Devices Transporter - APC H10 power conditioner - Cables by Me! ratso's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11493 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51297 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] pretty close to smashing my transporter to bits
thanx eric! i read the above mentioned forum thread and have a slightly better idea of what to do now. i will try to encode my files as wav's and see if that helps. it might also have to do with what channel my router was set on (someone else suggested this). i will report tomorrow if all this helps. i don't mean to bitch about my transporter, i REALLY do want to love it. but as of now i just like it. the level of frustration i experience on a regular basis with this is just maddening sometimes. again, i ask slim the question. if i gave this to my mom and showed her how to use it and her songs started stuttering and stopping and i said, well mom, you need to re-encode your files just what do you think would happen??? shouldn't this all just work? -- ratso Martin Logan Vantages - Wyred for Sound SX-1000 monoblocks - Blue Circle BC-21 preamp - Slim Devices Transporter - APC H10 power conditioner - Cables by Me! ratso's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11493 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51297 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] bolder mod sb3 for sale
yes wayne's statement mod is $350. however he has been offering to his customers to upgrade previously modded sb's to his statement level for only $100. i would suggest contacting him by email to assure that this is still true, but i'm almost positive it still is (it was as of a couple weeks ago). he is great at answering emails. -- ratso THE ULTIMATE 2 CH.

[slim] bolder mod sb3 for sale
still trying to figure out if it's kosher or not to offer things for sale on this forum, it seems opinions are split 50/50. if it's not please remove this mr. moderator - i just would like to offer it to the faithful before putting it up on audiogon! there is a lot of interest in bolder modded sb3's and i have a black sb3 with wayne's primary ANALOG mod. this is the mod that wayne said offers the most bang for the buck. being an analog mod no DAC is needed and it can be input directly into a power amp if desired (although you might need a little more gain depending on your system). the unit is like new. cost for sb3 and mod is $725 - a steal at only $550. add 3% for paypal. we will work out shipping. i might also add that wayne is offering a stellar deal to upgrade any of his modded units to his 'statement level' for only $100!!! WOW! i also have for sale a little used and like new channel islands power unit for the squeezebox; only $175. please PM me if interested, lower 48 only. will go to audiogon at end of week and will delete this thread. thanx for looking. p.s. oh yes, why am i selling it?

not meant as a criticism (or recommendation) of mcaffee. the point is millions of computers like mine ship with it built in, and it doesn't look to good when a potentially interested person googles squeezebox and the first thing he sees is 44 emails/week warning. -- ratso ratso's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11493 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37340 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
