[slim] Foobar 2000 query
Using this to add replay gain to music tracks. However, although I have the RG column selected in the view options, it does not show actual RG data. If I look at the track Properties, the info is there - just doesn't shown on the main screen. Any ideas as to how I can get the info to appear when I load a file ?

Re: [slim] one album shows as four albums?
I generally find this happens if the 'artists' tag is different for different songs on the same LP. I first noticed this with G3, as the artists tag is correctly naming each member of the trio, but it means that one G3 CD comes up as 4 Albums (one for each member of the trio and one for all three together for the encores)I bet there are three guys in A'Ha!.

Re: [slim] Rescanning Media Library doesn't finish
There are a couple of things that can cause this kind of behaviour. Antivirus software is one possibility, another is a recursive link (you have a softlink in your Music Library folder to another part of your Music Library that is sending the scanner into a loop) and a final cause can be a corrupted file or piece of artwork. The best way to track it down is to open up the scanner.log file. Go to Settings/Status and there is a link about half way down the page - open up 1000 lines and look for error messages, or what happens towards the end of the scan.

[slim] New shortcuts placed in my music folder point straight back to my music folder!
Greetings I got my Squeezebox Classic yesterday after experimenting with SqueezeCenter and Softsqueeze for about a week or so. I understand that if I want SqueezeCenter to find music that's not in the default music folder it's simply a matter of creating a shortcut to the desired location. Unfortunately this isn't working for me. Here's the scenario: A great deal of music files are currently stored in my Sims2\Music folder; this is a game that won't recognise shortcuts so the files have to be physically located there. Not a problem, you might think. Just place a shortcut in my Music folder (which we'll call 'C:\Users\Ronny\Music' - username changed to protect the innocent) that points to 'C:\Users\Ronny\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Music'. From these paths you'll glean that I'm using Vista: if it has a bearing I'm using Vista Ultimate 32bit. Anyway, shortcut created: if I double-click on it from within Windows Explorer it takes me to the right place. Pointing Squeezecenter to 'C:\Users\Ronny\Music', clearing the library and rescanning causes something weird to happen. If I browse the library by 'Music Folder' my new shortcut (which we'll call Sims Music) is not there. Instead there's a new entry called simply Music which just points to the directory I'm already in. Interestingly the Sample Music shortcut, created by Windows and pointing to 'C:\Users\Public\Music\Sample Music' works fine; it's just any new shortcuts I create that are affected. So I created a new folder on my desktop called New Folder and created my shortcut in there. Same thing: a link to New Folder that takes me where I already am. If I copy the Sample Music shortcut into my new folder, this works fine. If I create a new shortcut to 'C:\Users\Public\Music\Sample Music' it creates a link to Music, within which is a working link to Sample Music. Here's a sample from my scanner log if it helps decipher what's going on.

Re: [slim] New shortcuts placed in my music folder point straight back to my music folder!
You could create a practice music folder to try it on. Just put a few albums in it like you would like and rescan. Make sure you do a complete rescan. That way you can try things and see if you can get it to work. Put shortcuts pointing to your main one or create different levels and then play around with your shortcuts.

They are basically the same thing, just itunes version of replay gain but for some reason someone at Slimdevices decided if you have both they should be added together. Now for most files it just doubles the negative values as most music has negative values. You just sit and wonder why it's so quiet. But for the odd positive values, well you can figure it out. I've done a couple of bug reports but can't find them. One they didn't understand and put it with another bug about soundcheck. It wasn't the same and had nothing to do with what I wrote. I tried again but for some reason it didn't go through. I got tire of trying and just eliminated all my soundcheck tags. Not happy about that as now I can't use volume adjustment on my ipods but oh well. As far as I know it hasn't been fixed as far as 7.1 So make sure you don't have both types of tags or you do risk maybe speaker damage. It would be rare to have a positive 10 replay gain but if you did it would be a bad surprise to have your volume raised by 20db if you had it very loud to begin with. :( -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51320 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

That's basically what I did by creating a folder on the desktop. Any
shortcuts I create just point to the folder they're in. Copies of
windows-created shortcuts work fine.
Would it be worth clearing the cache? If so, do I delete the entire
cache folder ('C:\ProgramData\SqueezeCenter\Cache')or just its
contents?

How are you creating the Shortcut - using the Wizard or manually?

I've just tried your suggestion of creating the shortcut within the destination folder and then moving it. None of the above work. I have discovered something new, however.

Do I need to update Perl on the ReadyNAS or anything like that? 3. For optimal responsiveness at the expense of data security which of these should be enabled: a. Disable full data journaling? b.

[slim] A dead VFD on an old friend
Hi all, I'm not sure if anyone can help me here, or if the founders of Slimdevices still have any spares for good old kit! My SB1G (manufactured March 2004) has finally given up the electrical ghost. After some testing (out came the old AVO meter) it seems that the VFD unit is dead. There is power getting to it, but nothing at all on the display (not even faint glow - as others have previously seen). I know the unit appears to work as I can see it on the network and the optical out light is glowing. I'd like to say I was clever enough to not have reset the device before looking into it further so I could at least prove that audio was coming out of it! After the reset it means I have lost all network settings. I have tried to step through the setup process blind (removing encryption from the setup to simplify things) but can't get it through to being seen by slimserver. So my question: can I still get a VFD unit spare for a SB1G? If so - how much? (is the repair worth it?), or any other thoughts on this death of a vintage...?!!

Re: [slim] New shortcuts placed in my music folder point straight back to my music folder!
OK, if I run SqueezeCenter as a task instead of a service, it works fine. This adds fuel to my theory that it's some kind permissions thing. This'll do me for now. I only ran it as a service in the first place to take advantage of the Wake on LAN feature, which doesn't work anyway as it turns out. If and when they come up with a new firmware version that allows the computer to sleep, by either disconnecting or automatically switching to SqueezeNetwork, rather than immediately waking the PC up again, then I might approach this problem again. In the meantime I'll manually log in if I want to listen to my PC-based library.

[slim] art problem - ghost cover.jpg's
Hi, Running 7.1, multiple SB3s and new Duet. Linux sever, over 1 terabyte of mostly FLAC rips. I know the album art issue is long running but it can be pretty frustrating. I have settled on using Album Art.jpg as my art name for each directory not embedded for each album. I need the Album Art.jpg to maintain compatibility when I transcode to portable media, etc. I used to use cover.jpg or folder.jpg. I have entered Album Art.jpg into the server web gui. This works well for new albums added. For existing, albums that once were cover.jpg but are now changed to Album Art.jpg, SC 7.1 still points to cover.jpg (the file is not there)! I have done a full wipe and rescan. I have manually done a delete of the folders in the Artwork Cache and nothing works! It still points to artwork that is no longer there. How do I fix this? Why does the full rescan not really clean the database? I really wish this could be fixed!

[slim] Correct Operation of SB Controller
As per another post, my Controller stops displaying artwork after a period of time. Perhaps to put it more accurately, the Controller stops displaying artwork after a number of album/podcast/internet radio selections (i.e.: it may not be a function of time but rather a function of the number of call-ups for artwork). Anyway, this behavior coincided with my upgrade to SqueezeCenter 7.1.0. Im not attributing it to that but the undesirable behavior certainly wasnt present prior to the upgrade. The only work-around Ive been able to come up with is to power off and then power on the Controller. This got me thinking that perhaps the expectation is that the Controller is to be powered-down after the user is finished with it. Up until this problem, I always left the Controller powered on and let it fall into its sleep mode. So, with that long-winded explanation out of the way, how do you use your Controller? Do you power it down when youre not using it? Was that the way Slim Devices/Logitech intended to have the Controller used (its not explicit in the manual)?

I receivd my dock yesterday and have run it in for 24 hours. Setup was easy and it works well with my 160G iPod Classic. I am obviously using the digital out. Cable is different type to that used in the Transporter. Both connected to PS Audio PPP. Sound at this stage is pretty good and more than acceptable. Directly comparing it to the Transporter shows the Wadia to be less smooth, bit more grain, most noticeable in mids and lower treble. Bass is similar. Has slightly less ambience than Transporter. Usability is poor in comparison. Wadia is far from me and obvioulsy display is not readable. Remote can only change tracks, pause etc. One needs to go up to the iPod and change albums etc. Transporter has great display and very complete remote. Duet is even better in this repect. The unit may improve with some running in but I doubt it will be replacing my Transporter for serious listening. Advantage is that I can select a playlist and use it fo general listening without powering up my laptop etc. For those thinking of getting one, I would suggest looking at the Duet first which should be similar to the Transporter wrt digital output.

[slim] Controller: Doesn't stay on track!
I have both a SB3 and a Controller. On the SB3 when selecting a track (by going all the way through the folders on the server) I can walk from the outer folders and down to the single track. After listening to tracks I can walk all the way back and forth in the same path until I select another folder/track. So SB3 remembers the path and has the ability to backtrace. This is not the case with the Controller. After playing a track I can't backtrace say one or two folders and select and enter another album; as my pressing back sends me all the way to the startmenu. And I now have to remember the complete path to the album I was just listening to. This is really annoying. Can this be corrected on the Controller?

Re: [slim] Goodbye SqueezeSlave! :-)
I would imagine he is referring to Hi-MD, which supported recording/playing uncompressed WAV files. The Hi-MD discs would hold 1 GB. The format was too little too late. It resolved the issue with transferring your own personal recordings via USB to your PC. Previously, you had to playback on the MD and record on the PC in realtime to transfer recordings to the PC. It's a dead format at this point - Sony no longer makes them (perhaps they still make a professional model) and the discs are no longer manufactured. It was a great format, but it was too late to the game. -- maggior Rich - Setup: 2 SB3s, 1 duet.

Re: [slim] Announcement: SqueezeCenter 7.1.0 Now Available
Hi there, I have a Squeezebox v. 2 running on Windows XP SP2. I had purchased this item a few months ago and have been using it with the previous version of Squeezecentre with no problems. However I downloaded Squeezecentre 7.1.0 and restated my pc. Since then I have been able to access the Squeezecentre - the internet radio stations but can't seem to get Squeezebox to work. It keeps coming up with a message that there is no Squeezebox available and I have restarted and reconnected the Squeezebox to my wireless network. Once I try to restart Squeezecentre, the Squeezebox searches for the network connection and then just shuts off by itself. I also updated the firmware on the Squeezebox by clicking on the brightness button on the Squeezebox remote. Anyone has any ideas about this issue?
