Re: [slim] ReplayGain - How effective?
i've been using it for several years now, and i find it works pretty well. one thing to look for, is peak values, the forgotten RG tags. using those is how it avoids clipping, and so a track might be played back quieter than it otherwise would be, to avoid the clip. usually not an issue, but if something sounds too quiet it might have a momentary loud spike in it or something like that. the internet radio thing is an old complaint, vote for this bug: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2431 and http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3152 and http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4335 and http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4362 having said all that, i do find that sometimes some things seem louder or quieter than all the rest, BUT for the most part, i think it does its job and does it well. ps. i would also like to see a RG pre-amp so a user can adjust the 89db reference level. this is available in winamp. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 droid (my home) / duet ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.5b - win7 xp pro sp3 ie9 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88971 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The only advantage of Logitech doing this would be that they can
probably lower the price a bit, since they will be able to distribute
it to more stores and sell more units. However, I'm pretty sure that in
all other aspects the current VortexBox appliance systems are going to
offer better and more functionality.
In my mind, it's a lot bigger chance that Logitech realize this as:
- A Touch II (with faster CPU and more memory with a reliable built-in
TinySBS)
or
- A Receiver II (with faster CPU and more memory with a reliable
built-in TinySBS)

If someone who don't understand them is in charge, that could easily
happen if they plan to sell the Revue for $99.
Revue $99:
- Support for video
- Support for music (local and online)
- Support for pictures
- Support for viewing and recording TV
Squeezebox Touch $299:
- Support for music (local and online)
I could easily see someone within Logitech management think, hmm, why
do we need this expensive music box which when we have the Revue which
is cheaper and can do so much more...
Of course, when you know the products it's a different situation, but I
doubt there are many (if even anyone) within Logitech management who
really understands what the Squeezebox products is all about.
However, if they drop the Harmony remotes, which is mentioned as
something they have had problems selling in the linked article in the
initial post, I would be very sad, because that really is an excellent
product. I wonder if I should get an Harmony One while it still
exists...
Hopefully they will just drop the Revue and invest those resources on
Squeezebox and Harmony improvements instead :-)

Re: [slim] MonkeySqueeze
@Muele I was the same when I first got MediaMonkey way back in 2008/9. Then, whenever I was at the PC tagging files I would end up playing some tracks using MediaMonkey, while I worked on tagging. The problem was that PC speakers are mediocre and the hassle of plugging the laptop into the Hi-Fi was offputting, to say the least. I found a few scripts on the MediaMonkey Forum and cobbled them together into something that worked for me. It changed the whole experience by routing what ever I was playing on MediaMonkey to my Squeezebox Server and in turn my various players around the house. This was all way back in 2009 and I was using it so often I almost forgot the script exists. Anyway - July 2011 and Ginegernut63, with some small contribution from myself, enhanced the script and got it released as a MediaMonkey addon called MonkeySqueeze for all Squeezebox / MediaMonkey users to access without the hassle of trying to cobble together bits of code from the various MediaMonkey Forum posts. MonkeySqueeze doesn't replace Squeezebox Server but it just means that the program (MediaMonkey) used on the PC for all that tagging, clever playlist creation and the day-job type stuff can finally talk-to the SBS and sound good. The bonus, of course is connecting the laptop to the Hi-Fi doesn't need to even be considered an option. I would say it's a perfect partnership and one I had taken for granted for 2 years or so. If you haven't tried MonkeySqueeze with MediaMonkey and Squeezebox Server give it a whirl and see how it goes. I couldn't imagine MediaMonkey without it and it gives Squeezebox Server an extra dimension regarding real-time playlist. cheers mccstumbe (stumble) -- stumble Music Management: Mediamonkey Ver 4.0.01412 Gold Lifetime Music Server: Logitech Squeezeserver 7.6.0 - r32854 AddOns: MonkeySqueeze Ver 1.0.110721 http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2t=59515 Other Controllers: O2 Joggler (on native OS) running Squeezeplay, Ipeng, Mellorware MonkeyTunes and Plugplayer all on iPhone Players: Squeezebox Duet and 2 x SB Receivers, iPod Touch on JBL OnStage, O2 Joggler with Squeezeplay On Demand Music: LastFM, Spotify stumble's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31501 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89046 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Logitech CEO Steps down
maybe this is why 7.6 came out now, so they could move on to LMS and support the revue, b/c the revue is the future while audio only products are the past. i've been saying for a long time now that they needed a cheap audio endpoint, and the revue could be one (with video as a bonus). if they do get honeycomb into it, it could rescue the product. make no mistake, the current situation is very bleak, and this could all not only end badly, but end quickly. however, a LMS server, that can do upnp / dlna / audio/video and operate with a $99 honeycomb powered endpoint is VERY appealing to me, and i think others, if it in fact works well. frankly, i'm shocked anyone is buying a touch at all. to me, the writing is on the wall for that kind of thing. one last point... maybe they will run LMS IN the revue... turn LMS into an android app the way they did SP. just a thought... -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 droid (my home) / duet ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.5b - win7 xp pro sp3 ie9 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89129 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I may just buy the radio and wait and see, worse case it can be used via mysqueeze if I decide to go another route for my music system.

[slim] Probably the Worst Update in The World ...
... with apologies to the famous Carlsberg adverts! In over 20 years of IT, this 7.6 mess has to be way up at the top of the Top Ten utter and total disasters! and absolutely no clues on how to recover from the fiasco! I have tried everything to re-establish 7.5.5 as it was (reinstalls, factory resets, cold reboots, etc) and still the stupid system refuses to accept my settings for the Info Browser. Oh yes, it's there on the web interface - but will the damn thing show up on the Touch, will it hell! So can any guru (with years of experience!) please tell vme how to get back to the day I unpacked the Touch and set it up? Simply uninstalling the sbs server is obviously a waste of time - the damn thing still wants to update to 7.6 even though the server is 7.5.5 .

It only knows that 7.6 exists because there is something telling it that it exists. You never got messages before updating to 7.6 before the release, right? So, 1) delete everything having to do with 7.5.x and 7.6 from your system. Assuming you're still using Ubuntu, doing only apt-get purge squeezeboxserver may not be enough. After apt-get purging, then dig into the /var/lib/squeezeboxserver , /etc/squeezeboxserver, etc to thoroughly clean it out. 2) when you re-install SBS, turn off the automatic notification of software update before you do anything else 3) never, ever, ever connect to mysqueezebox.com.

Harmony One - Hard buttons combined with small touch screen
Revue - Touch screen and barely any hard buttons
That makes them a gigantic difference to me.
If one planned to get the Harmony 1000, it would maybe be smart to wait
for the lower priced Revue. If you planned to get the Harmony 900
because you need RF, the situation is also a bit different because
currently the 900 feels pretty expensive and even more so if you can
get a Revue with Wifi remote for $99
Maybe the Revue price drop could affect Harmony prices, but I don't
think so. When you read why they are dropping the Revue price you
realize it's because it's a new market and they want to establish the
product, this isn't they case for the Harmony remotes, they are already
in an established market and they have both fairly cheap and more
expensive models.

castalla;644561 Wrote: The total lack of any responses to posts on the Logitech Forum to the 7.6 mess suggests to me that they are either in shock or denial. Logitech is a big company who doesn't prioritize talking to customers in public. Not much different than other big companies. Apple silently denied the iPhone antenna problem for months, and similar scenarios can probably also be seen on a lot of other big companies. Logitech not answering in the official support forum or this community forum doesn't mean they don't help users, there are varied experience with contacting their support, some good some really bad, but every one that registers a support case will get some kind of answer on his/her issue and can be sure someone is working on investigating it. So if you want support, you need to register a support case. Logitech is traditionally a hardware company, their developers, especially those involved in Squeezebox, understand software development but there are IMHO strong indications that their management doesn't. castalla;644561 Wrote: I don't take kindly to responses which claim greybeard status and implicitly question 'What you complaining about, whippersnapper ... ?' Just be aware of that you probably have never seen such response from any Logitech employee. When reading the official support forum it's important to realize that there are also normal users like you and me over there trying to answer questions and some of us sometimes gets frustrated and give bad responses because we aren't trained support personnel. We are just tired of all complaints and tired of Logitech not doing proper testing of their products. castalla;644561 Wrote: If you are so experienced in beta testing how the heck did you not advise that an official release of 7.6 should be delayed? 1. The release was a surprise to us so we really didn't get the chance, I think no one expected them to suddenly release 7.6 it felt like the release was at least a month away, probably more. 2. We did indicate it didn't work, I think there were only one beta tester that argue that something should be released soon and as I've understood that person hadn't even tried 7.6 so IMHO he didn't really know what he was talking about in this case. 3. I personally suspect that not even the Logitech developers sometimes available on this forum was involved in the release decision. I'm 99% sure none of them would recommend their management to release the product at the state they knew it was before the release. It's important to realize that Logitech is a big corporation and sometimes the communication between different parts doesn't really seem to work particularly good. castalla;644561 Wrote: An official release usually implies that it won't totally reduce the end-user's system to chaos. If it does, then a rapid retraction and apology is in order together with clear instructions on how to recover from the ruins of chaos! I think more or less every community member and every Logitech developer available on this forum agree with you, almost none of the beta testers would have recommended Logitech to release 7.6. However, Logitech's strategy to keep mysqueezebox.com in sync with SBS makes it really hard to revert a release when it has been done, because it will be chaos also if they revert 7.6 because: - If they keep mysqueezebox.com at 7.6, users rolling back 7.5 are going to be asked to upgrade their firmware when they switch to mysqueezebox.com. - If they rollback mysqueezebox.com to 7.5, users which have upgraded to 7.6 and is happy with it, is going to be asked to downgrade their firmware to 7.5 as soon as they switch to mysqueezebox.com. So based on this I think: - The only way for Logitech to solve this mess is to release a 7.6.1 version that works as soon as possible. - We will never see any public apologies, Logitech doesn't communicate with end users that way, never have, never will. - The management within Logitech might not even know it's a problem, because as previously said, the communication between different parts really doesn't work. I believe it's a lot bigger chance the management get to know there is a problem if everyone picks up the phone and call their official support so it's completely overloaded with angry customers. - Complaining on this community forum is completely pointless, there is no one from Logitech reading and forwarding these complains to the management within Logitech. Some of the Logitech developers will see the complains, because they do sometimes read this forum, but the only thing the complaints are going to accomplish is making the developers more frustrated, less happy with their management and all this will just make it even harder for them to focus at fixing all the bugs so we can get a 7.6.1 release.

I completely understand your frustration, at 4.15 am I'd strongly
recommend you to go to sleep and continue tomorrow unless you life
depends on it.
If you want step by step guidance, contact the official Logitech
support team and ask them to guide you through the process of
downgrading to 7.5.5. You will find the Support link at the top of
this forum. Note, I'm not talking about the support forum, I'm talking
about registering a support case.
As aubuti says, the general process of downgrading is to:
1. Uninstall everything and make sure there aren't anything left
2. Re-install 7.5.x
3. Don't connect to mysqueezebox.com as that will prompt you to upgrade
to 7.6 again.
I think the re-installation after a factory reset is going to be a
little bit confusing because:
- When setting up the Touch the first time, it's going to connect to
mysqueezebox.com and ask you to upgrade to 7.6 unless it's already
using 7.6, just let it continue to do the upgrade.
- Later in the process, when you have setup your local SBS 7.5.x and
connect the Touch to it, you will be able to downgrade the Touch
firmware to 7.5.5 and you have reach your goal.
If you need more details regarding the uninstallation, the Logitech
support staff will be able to guide you through it if you register a
support case.
And just to be clear, if anyone else is reading this, for anyone using
the Touch without a local SBS on a computer I'm not even sure it will
work reliably to downgrade to 7.5.x. I suspect it will connect to
mysqueezebox.com and try to upgrade every time the Touch is started or
the USB drive is disconnected/unavailable.

Yes I know, I was just trying to say that unless Steve Jobs (which I

Logitech, the CEO of Logitech really have doesn't have much impact if
I'll purchase Logitech devices or not. I certainly didn't get a
Squeezebox because of the current or previous Logitech CEO.
The CEO might of course have impact on how much resources they spend on
music streaming products, but in the end we are all going to be better
of if someone who believes, understands and make good economical
results on the products, independent if that's Logitech or someone
else. If Logitech would downsize music streaming products even more it
would just create an opening for some other company to fill the space.
So as I said previously, independent of which decisions the new CEO
makes regarding music streaming products, most of them are going to be
positive in one way or another.

I agree, it might have been a bad example, I was just trying to say
that big companies usually don't talk to the public before they have a
solution to the problem, many of them don't talk about problems in
public at all, because it's bad for the business to admit you've done
something wrong, especially when you can't offer a solution that will
fix the issues.
Apple more or less silently denied the problem until they knew what was
causing it, had a comparison with other phones and had a solution to it
by offering free cases to everyone who was affected by the problem.
However, I do believe they handled it nicely in the end, because to me
it just showed me that they really care about the experience their
customers get. In comparison, Logitech continues to show more or less
visible that they don't care about my music experience. The only people
within Logitech that sometimes do show that they care are the Logitech
developers available on this community forum.
