An NTP client built into the squeezebox is rather useless without a clock to set. Currently, there is no clock function in the squeezebox.

Perhaps it varies by vendor. My experience of everything I've bought is that it was set to channel 11 when powered on. Channels 1, 6 11 are completely non-overlapping. So if you're seeing por signal strength on channel 11, it worth switching to 6 or 1. If you have a wireless laptop, it's worth installing and running NetStumbler to see what other networks are in operation around you. I used to have a jpeg showing what nearby channels overlapped each other but cannot find it now. -- oreillymj oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30029 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

It's the most misused term ever devised by marketers. It can mean whatever they want it to mean. True CD quality is 1440 kbps WAV, although lossless compression like FLAC at ~1000 kbps is identical. Below that, it isn't CD quality per se. Now I have heard many here say that well-made 256 kbps MP3s sound identical to FLAC, but the fact is that MP3 is not CD quality because if you decompress it to WAV you get a file that's different from the original CD WAV. Whether or not you could hear the difference depends on your hearing and equipment, but a mathematical check will show that the two files are different every time. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30068 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Well, if you're happy with 6.0.1 then great, don't change it. But you may have a long wait for the magic post you are looking for: the real problem here is that tagging standards, especially the dreadful ID3 tags for MP3s, are so badly defined and inconsistent that there isn't a right answer... all the SS devs can do is pick an approach which works in as many cases as they can manage, which for sure won't please everyone. If you have some specific cases that you can post in bugzilla that you think they should be covering, then that would be helpful. Otherwise your choices are - retag your files cleanly (mp3tag will probably do this for you) - switch to a cleaner file format like FLAC - stick with what you've got - wait and hope Ceejay -- ceejay ceejay's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=148 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28416 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Restructuring physical folders for Various Artists
I enlisted some help to undertake a pretty big ripping project (over 2000 CDs) and ripped everything to FLAC. The tags were set up well and except for some minor clean-up using TagRename, I'm pretty happy with this aspect. THe problem is that I missed a setting in EAC and instead of all the Various Artist/Compilation CDs ending up in their own directory, it split out each artist into their own folder. Therefore I now have a tone of artist folders with only 1 or 2 songs in them. Is there an easy tool or method to identify these and re-unite them in an Album folder as opposed to Artist folder? -- ob_kook SB2 -- Axiom passive pre -- Portal Paladin monoblocks -- Dynaudio Contour 1.3 MKII ob_kook's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30075 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

He is able to run the squeezebox only if he goes to the computer and opens the Slimserver page. I tried to start the slimserver from his squeezebox with the remote and it appears to connect and find the IP address then the screen goes blank. Tried several times and it only worked when the web interface was opened on the computer. It is running Slimserver 6.31. Would updating to 6.5 make any difference. He is not bothered but I want to get it running as it should. I did do a forum search and read numerous threads on connection problems but could not find this issue.

[slim] SlimLite + NAS on board
As already told here http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29897 my biggest concern with Transporter is the lack of a stand alone mode. As music lover and audio enthusiastic I'm interested to find a solution to get free of all my CDs and enter in the music streaming age. The fact SlimDevices products act like pure server clients, and need a running SlimServer to be able to navigate and play streamed music, is very frustrating. It prevent them to be a CD player direct replacement, especially from an usability point of view. Therefore I'm proposing to implement a minimal stand-alone mode on board. I'm targeting especially on Transporter as it offer enough inner space for that, his higher price point also allows more freedom. My proposal is following: - Build a reduced SlimServer version which focus on the essential and permit to navigate and play music located on an external HDD. To be efficient this SlimLite should be shrink to the maximum and like a SafeMode guarantee this device be able to play music at any time. - To host this SlimLite a NAS Main board (custom or commercial) should be added in the Transporter. Power supply can be external, it just need a separate NAS input plug, in order to not disturb Transporter's well designed supply. - Data connecting should be made through Ethernet connector as like this NAS would be external. HDD storage connector should be added, it can be Ethernet (Networkdrive) or USB2 ...or both if there is no limitation. I know this proposal could sound strange for the one who find current SlimDevices products easy to install and had no concern on their usage. On the other hand I really think this solution would be a serious improvement for users who simply want to listen streamed music... -- your momo your momo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8095 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30080 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

From a practical sound quality standpoint, you don't want a computer anywhere near high quality analog signals. You sure don't want spinning disks, video drivers, and all those evil noise generators near any serious analog components. However, there may be a market for a SFF computer with SlimServer pre-insalled and ready to go.

On 11/27/06, your momo ... Therefore I'm proposing to implement a minimal stand-alone mode on board. I'm targeting especially on Transporter as it offer enough inner space for that, his higher price point also allows more freedom. ... Have fun, and good luck. There've been about ten similar proposals since I bought my first SliMP3. Most have been along the lines of if you won't rewrite in my favorite language, I'll take my toys and go home! A few have turned into realities like ReadyNAS and QNAP and SlimCD. There's also a decent number of folks on here who are quietly providing professional audio installation services with prebuilt headless servers; as far as their clients are concerned, it's all taken care of by the nice wood-panel box in the corner, not a homebrew server with some Perl scripts. Gotchas: 1) Defining bare essentials in a way that leaves you with a product anyone wants to buy is going to be very difficult. 2) Integrating with someone else's hardware is not easy, unless you're planning to buy the Transporters, mod them, and then resell them, and that's a big old potential can of worms. SDI might have been cool with that, though probably not. Logitech is unlikely to approve. 3) Even if those issues didn't apply, the audiophile target audience would turn their noses up at the idea of putting extra boards in the case to emit EMF all over their bits. You're better off designing your own blackbox in a similar form factor to sit on top or underneath the Transporter. -- I spent all me tin with the ladies drinking gin, So across the Western ocean I must wander -- traditional ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Your goal may be to do that, but with all due respect I do not share it. I would find that to be an inferior solution to what SD already offers, I certainly would not pay more for it, and I do not see any significant opportunities for SD to enter that already-served market. Will the Transporter also have a CD-drive to rip music to the attached hard disk and ripping/burning software? Will it have the ability to download files from the internet? If so, you are adding functionality, complexity, and cost to the Transporter. If not, how will you get music onto the hard disk? If the answer is with a computer, then why not set up SlimServer and be done with it? It is not a big deal, and you can even use a crossover capable to connect the computer to the Transporter, with no other network devices required. As others have pointed out, there are devices employing architectures that better fit your paradigm.

Se proprio non riesci ad aspettare (ed e' sicuramente molto difficile) ti consiglierei di attendere qualche giorno e vedere se alla SlimDevices non abbiano intenzione di fare qualche offerta per Natale (come lo scorso anno: 2 SB con 100$ di sconto). Le spese di spedizione con UPS le vedi direttamente sul sito della SlimDevices, Tu devi aggiungere il 20% tra dazi e IVA e, se non ricordo male, circa 15 euro di spese di consegna e bollettaggio da parte di UPS. Per la spedizione puoi scegliere anche quella lenta che tanto ti arriva lo stesso in 2 giorni (non so se sono stato fortunato io). Comunque il dollaro ad oggi e' a 1,30 e quindi il cambio ci e' molto favorevole, non e' detto che alla fine ci vada male; sicuramente e' piu' conveniente che acquistare in UK o in altri paesi europei (dove sicuramente non fanno offerte speciali per Natale).

[slim] Re: SlimLite + NAS on board
The market for a server + client solution is obviously greater than that of a client-only solution. Slim devices already has the software and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before Logitech puts together the box to run it. Note, I think the idea propsed in the first message is way off base. Very silly in fact. Server plus client products yes, making some frankenstein transporter that uses external storage (only) isn't ideal to put it mildly. Transporter should stay the same as it is, as a client device. As it stands, even though the Slim product line is very high quality, it's not a suitable one for a consumer crowd. Something more plug and play is needed. Most people are using portables for digital audio (stuff like the iPod). Including plenty of audiophiles. People who want a two-box pre-amp aren't audiophiles, they're just folks with too much money and very little sense. Installing your own software onto a machine to turn it into a server can be thought of as complicating one's life. Fine for you and me of course. The consumer market demands products to simplify life. The Olive product line is decent. Quoting $2999 without mentioning the $899 product is a little unfair. Anyone who thinks Logitech bought Slim only for its existing customer base is being very short sighted. Or for that matter for the Squeezebox hardware. I'm willing to bet they spent big bucks on the acquisition and you'd better believe they plan on making back far more than they spent in a relatively short time . I'll mention the Harmony example again. Logitech have already made back the purchase price (close to US$30 million) with that operation.

The home network is becoming ubiquitous and slim is playing on this, marketing to a growing market of dual personality nerdy computer geeks / ultracool music loving dudes. This demographic is becoming 'normal' in younger age groups and is growing very fast! So, they do not need to market to other groups, like portable, lo/mid fi, etc. iPod has mostly what you describe and it fits in your pocket, and plays video for less then a SB. Use nice earphones or take analog line out of the bottom and it is a 1/2way (1/4way?) decent source. As for there being extra room in the TP for a hard drive and disk controller, disk bus, two more power supplies and noise shielding, nope! Space is an important ingredient in high end designs. Distance attenuates EMI and RF radiation and allows better wiring design. Some parts inside need to be separated by distance to achieve the very low S/N of the TP.

Perceived value of Transporter is rising like a rocket. There are no major reviews published yet to drive sales from standard issue hifi nuts and hardly anyone in the high end community knows about it. Audiophiles are just getting up to speed with SB which is hitting its publicity peak now after several years in the market. Transporter will come on much faster because of its little brother, but there will be no deals until all the low fruit is picked. No one yet knows whether the TP will be a business success, and there won't be deals before that is learned. But if it is a success strong demand will kill any chance for price breaks. I hope that happens! More network music products and goodies from slim in the future. Sales promotions at this point would be a very bad sign!

I suppose all the other audiophiles I know are also engineers. So while a $5-10K prepro is not out of the question, no one I know spends hours tracing their CDs with green markers nor worrying too much about the power cable they're using (as long as it's adequate for the current). While my comment was broad, so too was saying audiophiles care about preamps with external power supplies. An audiophile cares about good sound and music they enjoy. Creating a server product can cater as much to a high end community as to a low end one. Most high end equipment is installed by the CI (custom installer) community. Having a product they can easily sell/install for their clients would move a lot of units. Not as many as having a product anyone could buy and install themselves obviously. Logitech is about mass-market. Having a high end product doesn't preclude catering to the mass market. I've got a meager collection of remote controls, but if I told any normal individual how much any one of them cost, they'd likely drop their jaw. Of course higher priced remotes are becoming more mainstream now. Anyway, adding HD to Transporter = bad.

So just press the brightness button and hold it, and you light up the remote without doing anything else (and without changing the brightness). The other thing to watch out for (and the reason I suggested creating a custom.map file) is that you will need to repeat the edit of default.map every time you upgrade or reinstall slimserver, whereas a custom.map won't be overwritten.
