From the old Party Mode enhancement request: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8878 Permit playing music only from the local library. Don't allow playing of Internet Radio or Music Services, either of which will wipe out the playlist. Also, don't permit playing Random Mix, Favorites, or Playlists. Browsing should be confined to Albums, Artists, Years, Genres and New Music. Don't allow a track to be entered if it's already in the playlist. It's too easy for someone new to the system to accidentally queue up the same song multiple times. And as a party host, you generally don't want people playing the same song over again. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78067 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] I am a Squeezebox addict.
I had a look into the old wiki entry and see following: Playlist and Party Mode have been removed from Squeezebox Server version 7.4 because of conflicts with the new press-to-play behavior. This is an unfortunate regression but this feature never emerged from beta status and we're hoping to do a much better baked solution in future releases, hopefully as early as 7.5 What does it mean for the future? -- jo-wie 2 * Classic, 1 * Boom, SC 7.5.1 auf GigaByte STA/C mit VIA C7 1GHz, 1GB RAM, 250 GB 2,5 HD, Ubuntu Desktop 8.04 LTS, CD - FLAC = dbpoweramp, Mix MusicIP, Router AVM Fritz 3270 last.fm/user/jo-wie jo-wie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17952 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78067 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

But this overwhelming emotion pouring out on the forum is out of love, because let's face it, the squeezebox is ahead of its time and is the coolest damn tech product known to man. Long live squeezebox. Ok, then my post is also out of love. I just don't want to bite the hand that feeds us. So, now I will feel maybe a little more comfortable when I read some of those gripes. But I think some of those gripes could be worded with a little more respect for the hand that feeds us. Anyhow, thanks for the clarification. I'm still an addict and knowing I have others who are also addictted will help me deal with it. -- Ikabob Ikabob's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32088 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78067 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Matt :) Oh I vaguely remember a few times :) But, it has been awhile. (granted I do not own a Touch or Radio, just a Squeezebox 3 and Boom and Squeezeplay) All in all, a solid piece of technology that is used every day in our home. I had one Squeezebox fail. (pre-Logitech days) Sent it in.Turned around quickly (bad board) and now it is in use at my son's house. With the Squeezebox my music tastes have broadened greatly. I am now into the 1990's now :) My kids are very surprised to hear what is playing at the old man's house. I can't imagine going back to playing cd's the old fashioned way.

Re: [slim] I am a Squeezebox addict.
Good thread,I too love my 2 booms and sb3. Problem is my wife doesn't see what all the fuss is about. I wonder how many regular posters are women, less than 5% maybe even fewer. Are we just geeks in a mans world? -- wonder boy wonder boy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15950 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78067 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
