Re: [slim] I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE! It doesn't look good ...
Is it possible to connect a smartphone, as an input source, to the Squeezebox Touch? I was thinking that, post-mysb.com, if one could connect an old smartphone which can play TuneIn Radio or Spotify or any other service, then one could remotely control that phone with ones other smartphone. Is it possible to connect a smartphone to the Touch?

[slim] Touch replacement
I have a Touch and a Radio, and an old smartphone with a dock. Let's say the Touch catches fire: Could I install Squeezeplay on the smartphone, connect it to my stereo, and get it to sync with my radio and still use the Squeezebox app to control both of them?

jimbobvfr400 wrote: You're welcome. If it helps here's a market link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bluegaspode.squeezeplayer And also one for SB Player, which does seem to have more features and could possibly be a better option, however I'm 99% sure it doesn't support 2.3. I've not tried it myself because I'd already purchased Squeezeplayer. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.angrygoat.android.sbplayer Depending on how you plan to use Squeezeplayer I'd also suggest Orange Squeeze as a control app on the desire Z. That way you'll have a display and control locally. Orange Squeeze integrates squeezeplayer into the player selection menu and offers an option to automatically start squeeze player when it starts. Other Android control apps will require the player app to be started manually If you're hiding the desire away and only controlling it with other devices then it may be wise to get squeezeplayer starting automatically on boot. The link below will help with that. http://www.squeezeplayer.com/2013/05/start-squeezeplayer-on-startup/ OT a bit, but IMO the Z is quite possibly the best built phone I've ever owned, I was also a bit dubious of the hinge being a weak point but no such problems, mine was abused and used frequently as a torch in my job as an Electrician with no problems. I'm sure it could probably function as a hammer its that solid. :-) Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 I don't get the option of SB Player in Google Play so it most likely doesn't support 2.3. Yes, I'll go with Orange Squeeze in order for the automatic start and to have a player (UI) when having the phone in the dock (bought the dock for almost nothing just a couple of months ago, just because I had this solution in mind and I was fearing that they would stop selling them:) But if I go with Orange Squeeze, can I still control the Desire Z from another phone? On the OT: I have for years, now, plagued friends and family by saying that I own the best phone ever made :) And I still believe that for the money it did cost, it IS the best. Rock solid. Good camera. Great display. And a keyboard... I just recently bought an old Desire HD (again for almost nothing) and liked the larger display so now it's time for the Z to serve as a Squeezebox. I don't have the slightest doubt it won't keep doing a great job :) ButC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57330 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100475 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Connecting the phone directly (Tuner line-in) and using stock player doesn't produce the pop. Switching from Aux to Tuner and using Squeeze Player still makes it pop.

Re: [slim] Touch replacement
Did as you suggested. Inserted an sd-card and used stock player - pop is still there! I also tried with an Xperia Mini Pro and there's still a pop but a little less harsh - on the other hand it's is - with the Xperia - a popping every second while pausing the player; it's like a rolling sound, a wheel that turns and for every turn there's a pop. But less harsh... What I found out was that if I raised the volume in Orange Squeeze to the maximum, then I can lower the volume on the amp and then gets a less loud pop.

Re: [slim] Touch replacement
I'm sorry, but I cannot - in any way - reproduce the non-popping. I tried to many different ways, I believe, and I know suspect that I did something wrong when managing to get it connected and not pop. But, with the volume on maximum and a lower amp-volume it might not be that huge a problem.

With the now playing track, whether it be via one of the radio streams on Tune-in or other service or your own library, there is a menu feature called On spotify. You can use this to search either for the current title or artist in the Spotify database. Real world scenario is as follows: Spotify radio genre playback in Orange is not very good. Some genres work and some don't, and the genres are often too broad. So, I choose an internet stream instead that more suits my mood. Once I bump up on a track that I like, I hit On Spotify. Once there, I go to artists, then scroll down to the bottom and start a radio station based on similar artists. Now, I have better radio station than the previous one, and at higher bitrate to boot.
