Re: [slim] Community Funded Squeezebox Replacement - Would you be interested?

If I was to get one of these, some sort of display would be essential. We don't all have smartphones or tablets in the house to control it. I do, but it's not usually on wifi as it eats the battery. I see there's an HDMI output.. presumably I could attach a small 6 screen, if I could find one?

Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet

The new controller doesn't seem to have enough buttons. How would I use it to type a search when there are no alphanumeric buttons? It doesn't have a touch screen for that does it? No.. can't do... else there'd be no buttons at all. -- mecouc

Re: [slim] New SB3 user, why does Airport Express sounds better?

I had a terrible shock when I plugged my SB in. It sounded terrible. Only by accident did I discover that this was because I'd plugged it into the amp input designed for vinyl. I plugged it into 'video' instead and it's great. -- mecouc

Re: [slim] I can hear text scrolling on the display

To add some more detail - if, when they are out of sync, I unsync and sync them, then they play the current FLAC track perfectly together, so it isn't an issue with FLAC per se, but something to do with changing tracks. I'll try to do some more experiments. -- mecouc
