How about something like the Marantz PMD660? Up to 17hrs on a 1GB compact flash in MP3 format. (Varies depending on compression.) Purchase a CF reader for the PC and you're all set. - Dave azinck3 wrote: Maybe I'm missing a problem with this setup, but why not record through a compressor

2006-04-15 Thread Dave Horoschak
Dave, I've run into this as well. I think what's happening is that when the 770 goes to power save mode (screen dims or turns off), an additional step it takes is to break the network connection. It's a pity that it does this, but the 770 consumes a lot more power when WiFi is active. When the

Two reasons: 1. I'm trying to use this as a part of a script and I have no way of knowing the PID ahead of time. 2. I wasn't sure if there were any other processes or cleanup that the server stop executes that don't happen when you kill the process. - Dave rudholm wrote: Is there any

What's the best way to start MusicMagic automatically when I boot Mandriva 2006? I tried adding it to /etc/init.d/slimserver before slimserver.pl is run, but Slim still doesn't appear to see it. Any thoughts? Thanks. - Dave ___ Discuss mailing list

I just got MusicMagic running on my server and have two questions. 1. Maybe I'm missing the obvious, but how do you generate a MM playlist from the SB? Do I need to generate and save them all from the web browser and recall the static playlists on the SB? 2. If I'm running MM in Linux

[slim] Last.fm question

I'm really enjoying Last.FM, but find it frustrating that any time I want to change channels, skip a song or love a song I have to go back to the main menu and select Internet Radio - Last.FM again. It would make more sense to keep those capabilities right under artist/song info in the menu.
