[slim] Napster - List by Album
That Napster music cannot be listed Album on the Squeezebox is proving a bit of a nuisance. Andy has informed us that Napster have chosen to only use Genre, Artist, Paylist as the basic music sorting options and that is what we are stuck with. I've contacted Napster to ask them if by-Album can be included. The reply was initially that they used to have a by-Album option but removed it (!?). When I enquired further I was told that I should contact my device manufacturer regards menus etc. Full circle. If you have a Napster subscription, and you too wish there was a by-Album option, perhaps you could join me in trying to persuade Napster to include it. A barrage of emails might do it.

Re: [slim] Does rebuffering concern only wifi?
It's not 100% guaranteed...it is 99.9% guaranteed. :-) Ethernet has so much more bandwidth, you should never encounter a rebuffering issue. About the only problem you'd ever encounter is a bad cable, switch or NIC. It's not affected by distance (not in a home anyway), interference, competing networks, etc. Generally, it just works, you never have to fiddle with it or worry about it. -- Mark Lanctot Current: SB2, Transporter, Boom (PQP3 - late beta), SBC (early beta) Stored: Boom (PQP1 - early beta) Sold: SB3, Duet Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61567 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Rebuffering is basically, the player ran out of data, it seems to have gotten delayed somewhere. In many (most?) cases this is caused by wifi problems. A connection that drops out whenever the next door neighbor picks up the phone or turns on the microwave, for example. Going to a wired connection in virtually all cases (except those where your wiring sucks...) fixes that hop. If, on the other hand, the dropouts/rebuffering are cause by a slow upstream link (ie, radio drops out, but local music doesn't..) then moving to a wired connection won't help: smacking your ISP around or paying for a fatter connection would be the real fix. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61567 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Napster streaming bitrate
Hi there, I am VERY excited to see we can finally get a streaming music solution similar to Rhapsody in Canada (come on Rhapsody, poor). I fired up Napster tonightand was greeted with muted sounded boomy music. I've googled around and poked on Napster's site but I can't find where they say what bitrate they stream at. All I can find is this...which sort of makes sense from how horrible the streaming sounds: Music - Napster offers a collection of over 4 million songs to download. They are formatted as Windows Media Audio (WMA) files. This adds compression and higher sound quality at lower bit rates compared to MP3 files. Napster music downloads consist of 192 kbps bit rate while the streaming rate is 32 kbps. Just my luck...we finally get streaming in Canada, and it is quite possibly unusable...I find 32kbps unconfortable for voice never mind music :( Anyone have any more information on this? -- BrockStone BrockStone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16497 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61578 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Refreshed hardware this year for N networks?
Ive recently discovered the Squeezebox Duet and fell in love with it (well, on paper anyway) but I have just moved over to an entirely N network, and Id really rather not run a separate G network too. Since the new Linksys/Cisco and some of other audio streamers now run on N networks, any rumors that Squeezebox will be updating their hardware to support N networks? (maybe with some new features thrown in too? :) ) -- Evan55 Evan55's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=27937 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61579 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

But I would not expect them to support N until its actually released as a spec. So far, its only a draft. And for some reason, getting it officially voted in as a standard is taking years. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Does rebuffering concern only wifi?
mirhon;408085 Wrote: From time to time I suffer from rebuffering :-( I tried some things and it seems that distance, some settings (dhcp, encoding etc., mode type b or g) on access point doesnt influence on it. So I consider changing my setup and go for wired. The question is : is only wifi installation affected by rebuffering? Generally, rebuffering is usually a wifi issue, but I have also seen rebuffering due to other issues. I know one time I was getting rebuffering a lot when I all I had was an SB2, and a clean install of Squeezecenter resolved it. The Trackstat Playlist plug-in is also known to cause rebuffering in some situations. (The clue is if the rebuffering is always at track changes.) -- MeSue Sue http://www.last.fm/user/MeSue MeSue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=985 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61567 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Refreshed hardware this year for N networks?
Duet, and g devices in general, play just fine with n. You won't have issues as with b+g. -- seanadams seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61579 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Napster streaming bitrate
Are you serious 32kbps :-) Wov, have folks been pleading fo ages to logitech to implement a music service thats streams in 32kbps ROLF . And they expect money for this service. It is completely impossible to enjoy any kind of music at that bit rate. Napster UK claim that they stream 128kbps ? thats more like it, this ok for radio I can't check napster is not yet possible where i live. -- Mnyb Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61578 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
