[slim] live365 vip
Hi, I'm having trouble connecting add-free to live365 stations after paying for their VIP pass. I scanned the forums and found this discussed a while back and discovered a post saying this bug had been fixed for 6.3 (and indeed a check of the bug list shows this bug listed as closed). I'm running 6.3.1 - 8468 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252. Does anyone have any experience connecting to live365 stations with VIP? Note, I have a number of stations in my favorites and that is how I am connecting. I prefer not to have to go to the live365|my presets menu.

What do applications like MusicMatch use to accomplish this? They are somehow able to show me album cover art without me needing to download or scan anything.

Try Server Settings - Formatting - show Artist with Albums. Also note that 7.0 isn't a stable release, so unless you have deliberately put yourself on the bleeding edge you might want to try 6.5 (which is pretty similar but is where all the stability effort is going on ahead of its planned release in a week or so).

Has anyone had /streaming/ mp2 radio stations to play on softsqueeze?

I am trying to hook up softsqueeze to my DAB digital radio card which only streams out in MP2. It works fine with my aged squeezebox1. An ideas? Is it an easy fix to add MP2 support to softsqueeze?

At first glance, the Apple prototype iTV doesn't appear to be of much in the way of competition to the Squeezebox. All they share is the ability to transport music from a computer to a receiver/stereo/entertainment center. The iTV is a general purpose device designed to work in conjunction with a video display. The SB3 is primarily a device to bring high quality music to you, with no reliance on a video display other than its built-in VFD. In terms of value, the iTV has video output hardware, the SB3 adds a built-in high resolution VFD. I suspect that the components of the SB3 are probably more expensive. The iTV seems to be a marriage of Apple's old Airport Express product + video. It's about as competitive with the SB3 as the stereo out on the Airport Express was, though the iTV improves on Airport Express by requiring you to use your TV to listen to music, probably located near your stereo, rather than iTunes, probably not located near your stereo.

All they share is the ability to transport music from a computer to a receiver/stereo/entertainment center. I think you underestimate the brand power of Apple, plus the iTV will play video, music, shows photo albums etc. To most people this is far more functional than Sonos or SB3. A nice big TV screen also allows you to browse music using a nice big display and everyone has a TV or two in the house, so it makes a lot of sense. In fact you could hook up a cheap color LCD TV to it just for audio playback in a small room and that would work a lot better for me than the SB3 display. Sure the SB3 has audiophile kudos, but so does Apple - it's used a lot in recording studios so this is going to be a natural step for a lot of Apple devotees. Don't get me wrong, I like my SB2 for the audio quality, but if the iTV comes close, I can't see how SB3 would ever become more mainstream.

[slim] iTunes 7
I know that there is a FrontRow update, but I have not seen it yet. So I don't know if it does anything new/fancy with the Album or DVD art. I'm impressed with the new album art view in iTunes 7, but it does not seem to support album art via a shared library on the remote computer (in this case a Mac). So if your trying to serve up some album art eye candy on your remote computer using iTunes 7 it doesn't look like it will happen that way. There is some new function in iTunes that is supposed to snag album art for your entire music library. I'm not sure yet how well it is working. Any other comments yet on iTunes 7? I'm thinking I still don't want to dedicate a computer for remote listening to my music. So the SB is still looking good to me. -- Jazz1 Jazz1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6623 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27333 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I've been having some of the same issues with live365. I don't think it occurs on all their stations though. Some have been annoying and I've been a VIP member over a year. I've got the passwords/username where they should be so I don't think that is the reason. I haven't seriously tried to troubleshoot it... it has driven me to explore more Shoutcast stations. It seems like live35 always has some quirky thing going on.

I don't have a TV anywhere near my stereo either. Neither shall I have - and I am not a niche audiophile type either. Just someone who has a nice comfortable living room that I don't feel I need to watch TV in the whole time! Let's wait to see how it sounds. Can you control the unit by a web inteface or it's own remote (extra$$?)? Is there an IR eye? I guess they are really going for the video market - and once you are there, I presume the audio is pretty easy to include as well. So as a one stop shop and for the AppleHeads, it's a home run.

[slim] Re: Live Ogg Steams?
The actual problem here is that our Ogg decoder can't decode that stream. Note the 'notSupported' method, this is called if the player rejects the stream. I'm not sure why this stream doesn't work, but we'll take a look. The DNS error is probably from the second item in a playlist, which looks like the mp3 version of the same stream. Try increasing your radio station timeout, or just try playing the stream again. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27337 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
