On the other hand you could play the same stream in those additional zones with just the SB3. The only catch is that often AVR/amps limit zone playback to only analog inputs, so using the SB3 you would have your main listening area via digital out and zone 1 via analog out. If your AVR/amp allows

I've seen electronic devices fail to go through boot because the external PSU was faulty. Maybe you want to check with another PSU ? Never experienced this on a Squeezebox, though. -- epoch1970 Daily dose delivered by: 3 SB Classic, 1 SB Boom • iPeng (iPhone + iPad) • SqueezeCenter 7.4.2

[slim] SB2/SB3: firmware on mysb.com != firmware on 7.5.3 release?

2011-03-29 Thread aubuti
I don't use mysb.com much, but lately I have been switching between mysb.com and local SBS for various reasons. My local SBS is the release version of 7.5.3, but whenever I switch between mysb and SBS my SB2s and SB3 go through a firmware upgrade/downgrade. Is there new fw for these players that

Yep, there's a mismatch. See http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=620486postcount=44 If your SB2/SB3 is set to not update FW automatically the display will be blank if you connect to MySB with the older FW which some has interpreted as the unit being broken. -- alfista

So this is basically like MP3tunes? I'm not sure I understand the point. If your going to stream from the cloud, why limit yourself to your own collection and not use Spotifiy/Napster/Rhapsody? (especially considering, from what I read, that you will need to pay for anything over 5gb and

It's basically the same as MP3tunes with less format support and no available API. HTTPS streaming would be a problem too, but if it's using S3 it'll hopefully support plain HTTP as well. -- andyg andyg's Profile:

Playing music from the Amazon cloud makes a lot of sense to me. There are times when I'd like to listen to an album that I own but don't want the hassle of going and waking up the computer so the Boom can stream from it. The Amazon system would solve that. -- likescookies

Like a wake on LAN setting? Interesting. Will look into this--thank you. Still, having to navigate up the tree to connect to the PC, then at the end putting everything back the way it was so my wife doesn't get mad at me would definitely still lend some appeal to the free Amazon solution. --

Wake on LAN turns my computer on from a cold shutdown (not sleep mode). In fact, this is how I turn my computer on most mornings. I believe there is also a Server Power Control addon that can also turn the server computer off when desired. -- Henry66
