Re: [slim] sigh new router, can't connect Squeeze Touch to network
I remember similar problems with the same Thomson router. I sorted it by lowering the security settings getting a connection and then increasing them again. I've since changed the router to a Netgear as a result of changing to fibre and didn't have any such problems. -- spile spile's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37780 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93161 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Playlists
As a recent SB Touch owner I've been very happy with things generally but I appear to have hit a bit of a stumbling block. Basically I thought it was a good idea to make life eay for my wife to find her own music from the Touch menu. A look at the guide came up with two possibilities - Favourites or Playlists. Playlists seemed the more flexible solution so using the Touch screen and remote I created a custom playlist of my wife's CDs. Problem was that I noticed that for some strange reason I had a couple of hundred playlists already present! I don't know how they got there - it appears that my music collection had .cue, .m3u and .m3u8 files in them and that squeeze server automatically added them to my playlists. Deleting them wasn't easy either I tried searching for the files direcly off the server and then deleting them but for some reason they remained in the memory of the sb server. Even forcing the server to rescan the playlists didn't work. In the end I had to manaully delete them using the web front end to the SB server. A very tedious process - why is there there not east way to delete a number of unwanted playlists. Even after doing all this, I don't have an ideal solution - when you go into Now Playing Playlists Name the tracks not the albums are listed. It seems that maybe playlists are not the ideal way for my wife to find her albums.
