Re: [slim] Recent SB3 Firmware problems
I had a similar experience just after I applied the latest firmware update to en SB3. In my case the 'Cannot connect to server' message kept flashing up very briefly once my systen had hibernated, Strangely it was doing this at completely random intervals. I solved my issue by rebooting my router. Hope this helps you in some way. -- russelc Regards, Chris Hi-FI: SB3 (wireless), Ipod Touch (+iPeng), active Linn Kabers, 3 x LK100, Kairn, LP12 russelc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37254 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85298 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I've never really thought of it like that. I have been buying music for over 40 years though so I guess it does add up. I haven't bought too many LP's in the last 10 years or so apart from about 200 classical recordings and some high quality 180g pressings. The thing is there was a time when I would happily buy 20-30 albums a week as I seemed to spend all my free time in record shops - remember those! Browsing CD's is just no fun for some reason. I guess I was very obsessive:-) I have acquired about 1500 albums from friends who abandened LP's in favour of the silver disc so I guess its not quite so bad as it seems. By the way I consider my collection as modest compared to some people I know who have collections in the 10K+ albums bracket, and by todays standards it's tiny compared to some peoples digital collections.

Re: [slim] Where are your LPs?
I still play my vinyl also and have some 4500 LP's. I even occassionally still buy LP's. Some of the new 180g pressings are superb quality - far better then any other medium I have ever heard and that includes early Decca classical on 1st gen pressings. I still haven't worked up the courage to even think about digitzing just those albums that I cannot get on CD :-) The upside is that I think they still sound better through my LP12 than any CD player or streamer I have heard including Linn's own mega bucks items. Having said that it would be nice to get everything digitally stored if for no other reason than to archive it all. One day perhaps. Currently my collection sits on purpose built shelves with about 600 LP's to a shelf and takes up the whole of chimney breast alcove. -- russelc Regards, Chris Hi-FI: SB3 (wireless), Ipod Touch (+iPeng), active Linn Kabers, 3 x LK100, Kairn, LP12 russelc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37254 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80811 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Let's make the Squeezebox to the ultimate music discovery device!
Mp3tag, add cover art to all tracks and manage my library through Foobar 2000. Any MP3 downloads I have are managed in the same manner with the same tags. I then add replay gain though FooBar and analyse through MusicIP and finally add to the SBS library. I don't add any non standard tags. The physical file structure within which my library is stored is important to me in that I seperate flac from any lossy files I have. I do not want any library management software playing with my chosen directory structure or file naming conventions. I do manually rate music in SBS for use in dynamic playlists although I still haven't figured out how to sychronise the SBS library with Foobar 2000. erland;566383 Wrote: 6. Do you synchronize the data in SBS with some other application to make it easier to find interesting music ? As stated I do use MusicIP but don't export back to it. I do use iTunes but this is only to get apps onto the Touch and to allow me to manually put music onto the Touch. I keep the iTunes library physically seperate from the source files for both SBS and Foobar. This is because I don't either trust or in anyway like iTunes. I do keep tracks played in SBS scrobbled to Last.fm so that they can make more recommendations for new music.

So really you're saying that the way it used to work, when I only got the message once, was wrong and that now it's working correctly, when I get the message every 5 mins! I don't understand why it would have to do this if the player is in standby. Sorry but IMHO I disagree - the way it worked before was better and far less intrusive.

This appears to only be an issue for XP users. However, I cannot figure out from the above link what I need to do to re-install a previous version of Flash and I don't have any more time now to spend on it.

Re: [slim] Issue with new router and SB3
In my OP i stated; 'However, I have since noticed one annoying feature of my new environment. In the past the SB3 would only show the message Can't connect to server: ONCE ONLY when the server was shut down, went into standbye or hibernation, or if wireless dropped. Now I have a situation where when the server is off or in standbye or hibernation the message is displayed every 5 minutes (I've timed it). It looks like something is polling it at this interval.' By the above I meant that 'in the past' when the player was connected to the m/c running the SB server and BEFORE I changed my router I only got the message as the m/c changed state. After changing the router I get it every 5 mins. Your solution stops this happening (for which I am very grateful) BUT not by fixing the issue I related in the OP. I would like to understand this just because it annoys me that something is happening for which I do not have an explanation. -- russelc russelc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37254 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79717 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Issue with new router and SB3
Hi - hope this is the correct forum for this post. I have recently changed my router from an Orange Livebox to a D-Link DSL-2740R and have successfully got everything (Wii, SB3, iPod Touch) back up and running wirelessly having changed security from WEP to WPA2. Orange remains my ISP for the next couple of months. However, I have since noticed one annoying feature of my new environment. In the past the SB3 would only show the message Can't connect to server: ONCE ONLY when the server was shut down, went into standbye or hibernation, or if wireless dropped. Now I have a situation where when the server is off or in standbye or hibernation the message is displayed every 5 minutes (I've timed it). It looks like something is polling it at this interval. I would rather it didn't do this as it is distracting when watching TV (my SB3 is on same stand as TV). Any insights would be appreciated. My setup is as follows; Server = Win XP SP2 with Squeezebox Server version 7.5.0 r30464 (not 24/7) D-Link DSL 2740R running firmware version UK_1.13. WPA2 enabled, with firewall switched on (24/7) SB3 firmware 130 -- russelc russelc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37254 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79717 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
