Re: [slim] Announcement Squeezecenter 7.2
I've recently upgraded to SC v7.2. The upgrade went fine and I re-scanned etc... without issues. But I have noticed an odd behaviour just recently. When using the web interface (with Fishbone skin), when playing tracks back from a playlist, the displayed Artist info is not always updated properly (it would still show as the previous artist) when moving to the next song and the Album info would be updated correctly but clicking on the link would actually take me to the previously played album listing. A reload of the web page sets everything properly. On top of all this, this behaviour seems to come and go - ie: not 100% repeatable. I'll have to see if does the same thing with the stock skin. I've cleared my cache etc... to see if that fixes it but it does not. Has anyone else observed this? Very strange. -- shabbs [shabbs] *Rip/encode:* 'EAC' (http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/) v0.99 prebeta 4 [secure] w/ 'Lame' (http://www.rarewares.org/mp3.html) v3.98 [-V 0] *Audio:* 'SB1' (http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_squeezebox.html) -- Technics SA-DX1040 -- customs; 'SB3' (http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_squeezebox.html) -- Yamaha RX-V661 -- JBL E30's shabbs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6016 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51633 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SqueezeCenter won't populate album art
Ugh. I had this very same issue. I use AVGFree which does not let you specify an exclusion list (the for-pay edition does), nor does it seem to have a quick and easy way to unload the resident real-time scanner. I ended up having to uninstall AVG and move to ClamWin as my AV solution in order to get the scan going properly. ClamWin does not have an on-access real-time scan engine like AVG does, so we'll see if I stick with this solution.

[slim] Re: Introducing..... me!
Joe Blow - heh heh - up here in Canada, we call him Joe SixPack. My reply below is more towards Jim's question of WHY do they realize it's great? Do you have a particularly cool way of demoing the features?. I have been an SD customer since the SB1 came out. I remember when the SliMP3 came out but I was just beginning to understand digital music at that time and did not realize what it really represented. When the SB1 came out, I picked it up and was hooked. I have since bought an SB3 as well and will most certainly purchase more products from SD as they continue to grow. Every time we have guests over to our house, they see the SB3 in our living room, notice that it's showing info about the music that is currently playing and start to ask questions about it. When I begin to explain the setup (mp3s, home network, home stereo, slim server etc...) one of two things happen: they get the concept and are interested, or they gloss over and don't understand. When I see people glossing over, I usually bring them back to reality with a quick summary, show how the remote can access the music wicked fast (even letting them try it) and then get them a drink as they listen to the music. For the ones that get it, they usually want more details on how it all works, how much does it cost and where they can get one. After that, their reaction is usually Man, that sounds like too much work. or Damn that's expensive. or I'll be getting one of those real soon. To date, I've only had one buddy actually buy one after seeing mine, the rest I'm still working on. The oohs and aahs usually come from the following: - How quickly I can access all my music using the remote (search, genre, playlists etc...) - The look of the browser interface with album art etc... that can control my Squeezeboxen - The sound. That's an MP3 we're hearing? Wow it sounds just like the CD (neither myself, my equipment or my friends are Audiophile-quality btw) - The plug-ins (Hey, it says the Giants are up 28-0 over Philly in the 3rd! Cool! - Synching the SB1 in my basement with the SB3 upstairs - Internet radio integration (everyone has heard of Shoutcast) The other oohs and aahs are for the Harmony 880 remote which controls my whole entertainment system. I find everyone loves the sound and look of the SB3, but don't want to spend the time/effort to set it up and get it done right. The iPod crowd gets it, but would rather just plug their iPod in to their stereo. The non techie crowd just wants something they can plug in and work right away and not need a dedicated server to run the show. The techie crowd understands right off the bat but the decision then comes down to cost/effort. I'm always showing it off when we have guests over that are interested and I will continue to do so because I feel it is the best product out there for streaming digital music. My $0.02.

I think the only place bands makes any significant money is on tour selling merchandise. I'm not sure how it works with artists that create their own labels like Prince did with Paisley Park Records.

I manually downloaded all my album artwork from web sites like amazon.com/music, allmusic.com, allofmp3.com and search on images.google.com when I can't find it on a music site. Hope that helps.

Out of curiosity, I checked my FileCache and it was pretty large. I ran the cachedump script and it produced an output that contained nearly 500 lines that referenced fitstretch-100-100-0 on each line. Is this for the resizing of the Album Art? Here are my details: Library: 722 albums with 9653 songs by 1233 artists. Library size: 67.2GB, all MP3 files, cover art for everything. SlimServer Version: 6.5.0 - 9916 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 Perl Version: 5.8.7 MSWin32-x86-multi-thread MySQL Version: 5.0.22-community-nt No additional plugins installed. FileCache folder size: 162MB, 18,253 files, 4,340 folders Is that reasonable to expect? EDIT: My cover art is structured as such: Each album is in it's own folder. Each folder contains two image files: Folder.jpg - 200x200 and AlbumArtSmall.jpg - 75x75.

[slim] Re: OT: HDTV advice?
There are a few different technologies out there: LCD, Plasma, Rear Projection LCD, DLP and LCOS. They each have their own strenghts and weaknesses in various areas (screen door effect of RPLCD if you are too close, rainbow effects of DLPs etc...). You need to find the one that fits you best and fits your budget. It's also good to understand HDTV and the different types: 720p, 1080i, 1080p etc... This is an old article but is still a good read. http://www.projectorcentral.com/hdtv_edtv.htm Some other good links here: Buying an HDTV: http://www.digitalhome.ca/content/view/1364/98/ Choosing the right size of HDTV: http://www.digitalhome.ca/content/view/1399/98/ You also need to be aware of the native resolution of the TV you are buying. To display 1080i content natively, your TV will need 1080 lines of resolution. A lot of sales guys will talk about TRUE HD - just be careful you know the specs of the products your looking at and understand the limitations. A TV with 720 lines of native resolution will always down-convert a 1080i signal to fit in its 720 lines. Also - find out how much HD programming you can really access. A lot of people assume the HD channels are showing HD all the time. That's not really the case. Most channels only have a few hours a week of new HD content and the rest is SD. But it is growing.

[slim] Re: The remote is crap!
I've still got my original SB1 remote and it's neither damaged nor worn and has seen consistent use. It has survived a move too. I too was of the impression that the remote was flimsy and looked cheap, but at the end of the day, it gets the job done just fine. I'd rather SD keep the cost of the SB low by supplying a minimal remote and focusing efforts on the SB internals. Also, the SB can be easily controlled via a Universal remote. I now have a Harmony 880 that I use to control my SB and barely touch the original remote, unless it's closer to me than the Harmony. ;) Heh heh.

I agree. This device looks great and it sounds like it will address the audiophile's needs out there with what they've put in the box. It's beyond my price point but it sounds about right for the audiophile niche market. Kudos to Slim Devices for listening to their fans and delivering.

[slim] Re: SlimServer shuts of on rescanning
When I issue a full scan, the SB display initially shows Slimserver is now rescanning your library... and then the display usually goes off and the web interface is pretty much unusable until the scan is done (approx 2 hours for my collection). This has always been the case for me throughout the years with different builds and different hardware. So, now I schedule my scans to run at night in the wee hours. -- shabbs [shabbs] *iPod:* 4G [40GB] | *OS:* Windows XP Pro SP2 | *iPod audio:* Sony ' MDR-EX71SL' (http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=16xGo7sNu5VGifp5w5lMqPQCC6R64p2DISc=?ProductSKU=MDREX71SLDept=acc_HeadphonesCategoryName=acc_Headphones_Fontopia%2e%2fEarbud) and 'MDR-V600' (http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=_kMTDIIA2joTVcNyXogZB80QbAefQPuz-8U=?ProductSKU=MDRV600) headphones *MP3s:* 59.3 GB / 8,609 songs and growing! | *MP3 ripper:* 'EAC' (http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/) 0.95b4 [secure] w/ 'Lame' (http://www.rarewares.org/mp3.html) v3.97b2 [-V 0] *Manager:* 'Anapod Explorer' (http://www.redchairsoftware.com/anapod/) v8.9.7a | *Extras:* 'Squeezebox v1' (http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_overview.html), 'Linksys NSLU2' (http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2childpagename=US%2FLayoutcid=1118334819312pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper), WD Dual-option 250GB External Drive shabbs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6016 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25483 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Me and my squeezebox
I thought I'd put together a post about why I love my Squeezebox to help lighten things up here. Seems to be some frustration on the board recently and I wanted to spread the love. I bought my SB1 when they first came out. I've been ripping MP3s since the early 90s but never really got into it heavily until I got my SB1. I remember when SD announced the SliMP3 player and I said to myself - now that is sweet. I can't remember why I did not buy one at the time. I was young and had tons of disposable cash - the reason really escapes me. When they announced the first Squeezebox I was sold and was all in right away. My MP3 collection had grown considerably by then and I had discovered the wonders of EAC's Secure Rip and the LAME MP3 alt-presets. I was on my way to endless music heaven with a smile from ear to ear. Now, the SB1 is not as pretty or sexy as the SB3 is today, but that's fine with me. It does one thing and it does it amazingly well. It has been rock solid since the day I bought it and everyone I've shown it to has been wicked impressed at the ease with which you can access all your music as well as Internet radio and what not. The web interface and Softqueeze player make it accessible from anywhere. When we have parties, it's running an appropriate mix in the background all the time, setting the mood just right. I plan on having this sucker around cranking out tunes for a long long time. Not only does it work well, but it sounds awesome. I am still impressed to this day with the sound quality from all the outputs. I used to run the Digital Optical SPDIF out to my receiver for optimum sound. When I needed that optical input on my receiver for my HD cable box, I switched the SB1 over to use RCA connectors on a different input. I was thinking I'd take a hit on sound quality, but hell, it was just as good. Now, my system is not super high-end nor am I an audiophile, but I could not tell if there was a difference. And with the control integrated into my Harmony 880 remote, I'm all set for ease of use. I totally love my Squeezebox v1 and will be a SlimDevices fan for life because of the experiences I have had with it so far and continue to have. MAD props to all the employees, developers and volunteers that have made the Squeezebox and SlimServer such amazing products over the years and for years to come. There really is nothing else out there like it for the price and flexibility. Not even close. A true Open Source success story. How many other companies are out there where the developers, CEO, CTO etc... are regularly on the discussion boards answering questions, helping users out and taking input? I can't even think of another. Well done SlimDevices... well done indeed.
