Can't you just use Replace all in a text editor or sed to change
drive name part of the path in the playlist files to the new drive name

Re: [slim] ReplayGain - How effective?

I listen to internet radio much less since setting RG on my Squeezeboxes. Completely agree.

[slim] OT: Time Machine USB disks
Sorry for the off-topic post, but I know there are quite a few Mac users around here and am hoping one of you might know the answer to this. My daughter has a Macbook and needs an inexpensive external disk for use as a Time Machine backup device. I bought her a bog-standard 320GB Freecom USB2.0 bus-powered 2.5 disk. It seemed to work fine for several months, then Time Machine said it had failed. So I reinitialised it using Windows diskpart and all seemed well again. Then a month or so later Time Machine said it had failed once more. OK, perhaps the disk is just faulty - except that after I reinitialise, it seems to work perfectly under Windows. So: does Time Machine do something unusual that makes a standard disk unsuitable? Does anyone have a recommendation for an external disk that works reliably with Time Machine? Bear in mind I'm looking for something affordable - no exotic stuff please!

Re: [slim] Rhapsody no longer plays on Squeezebox Classic
A few weeks ago Rhapsody moved to a higher bitrate SSL certificate, which broke all existing rhapsody support on ip3k devices. It's fixed, but requires a firmware update to all ip3k squeezeboxes (SB Classic, Boom, Receiver, Transporter). You need SBS 7.5.5 or 7.6.0 to have that firmware pushed to you. If you are connected to mysb.com directly, the new firmware should get pushed to you automatically. The fix is on the firmware side, so the device itself needs to update, not just the server side. If you're on 7.6.0 and this didn't happen, make sure you are updated to the latest revision. cheers, #!/ben -- bklaas Former Logitech Developer: Squeezeplay/SqueezeOS/SqueezeboxController/SqueezeCenter Community Developer: Nokia770Skin (r.i.p.) http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ 'KHAAAN!'

Re: [slim] New Drive - what to do with playlists?
Indeed a short piece of shell script and you can do it easily.

A poll associated with this post was created, to vote and see the results, please visit http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88916 Question: Why do you continue to use Squeezebox ? - I'm satisfied with the Squeezebox system, why change something that works good ? - I have already invested too much in Squeezebox devices, would cost too much to switch - I have just purchased a new Squeezebox and won't switch to something else anytime soon - I love the 3rd party plugin/app model and would only switch to something else that supports this - I would consider switching if someone offered something with similar functionality - I have already started to look for something else but haven't found anything interesting yet - I have already started or completed the transition to something else I actually can't remember how long ago I bought the first Squeezebox. At the time I already had an extensive CD collection and storage was a problem. I could not easily have the whole collection available near a CD player and it was too much trouble to dig into storage boxes or even the loft to find some of the disks. I wanted something that would enable me to put all the music on a server and then listen to whatever took my fancy without having to find the physical CD. I also wanted HiFi quality, not necessarily audiophile but good enough that I wouldn't be distracted from the music by noticeable distortion or extreme colouration. I already had some HiFi separates and speakers so something that would plug into an input on my existing amp would be ideal. Someone at work recommended the Squeezebox and the fact that server would work on my Linux PC was a definite bonus. I bought a SB Classic (though it wasn't called that at the time) and was very pleased with it as it fulfilled all my criteria above. The sound quality is certainly good enough for my ears. After that I bought some Squeezebox booms, first for my daughter's bedroom then for our bedroom and the kitchen. I wasn't expecting great sound quality though I have been surprised how good the frequency response is. The stereo image is limited but no worse than a normal boom box which would typically be used in the same location. The advantage of the SB booms is access to the same library I have already spent the time ripping and no arguing over who has borrowed the CD. I have a desk with both a work PC and home PC at it and over four years ago I bought a HiFi amp and bookshelf speakers so I could listen while I worked. The home PC sound card output was simply connected to one of the amp inputs. On one PC upgrade I found the new integrated sound card would only do 48k sample rate. All other rates were converted in software and the sound quality was poor. Forcing the use of a better resampling algorithm only changed poor to borderline I decided to save some power by transferring the library (and much of my other data) to a NAS and got another SB classic to hook up to amp on my desk. The sound quality is much better and while I am working on the work PC I can have the home PC turned off. The final development is discovering SqueezeCommander for Android. This is an excellent application for controlling the squeezeboxes and something I probably use more than the web interface. So, to cut a long story short, at each stage I have chosen squeezeboxes because they do exactly what I want and have at each stage I have been pleased. I chose satisfaction with the squeezebox system as the reason I stick with it but of course I do now have a certain investment in the system. I did have an issue with a particular wireless router which I have mentioned elsewhere but changing the router concerned fixed that problem. It appears my NAS should should be able to support DNLA players sharing the same library even before SB server supports this but as yet I have not had any reason to get one. I don't have a particular interest in building a video library and in any event we have a satellite PVR attached to the only TV in the house which can obviously record and also play BBC iPlayer content and an on-demand TV box too. -- Fozzy Fozzy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8592 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88916 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Lightening!
We had a lightning incident here recently and the damage was fortunately limited to a pair of DSL/Wireless routers connected to my DSL lines and the Ethernet port of an Xbox360. In the case of the wireless routers in at least one case the telephone line interface was damaged as well as the power adaptor. It seems the issue in this case was most likely not a high voltage between the live and neutral wires of the mains but between the mains wires as a pair and earth (ground). In that case the path to earth is through the DSL router to the phone line which has one leg grounded and the damaged parts reflect this. In the case of a cable line the same route is possible particularly if the screen of the coax cable is grounded. In this case grounding at the customers premises probably acts more to protect the cable company's equipment and that of neighbouring customers that it does to protect your equipment. -- Fozzy Fozzy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8592 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88797 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

If any wire enter your house without being earthed, then all household appliances (even the furnace) are at risk. That cable company wire is earthed so that a surge does not enter via their cable. All telephone wires (not just one) are earthed by a 'whole house' protector installed for free by the telco. Earthed also to protect all appliances. But wires that most often carry surge currents into the house are AC electric. If you have not earthed all (typ. three) incoming AC electric wires using a 'whole house' protector, then no effective surge protection exists. Dr Standler discusses this in his book Protection of Electronic Circuits from Overvoltage: This situation could be resolved by the use of mandatory standards ... At this time this book was written (1988), the author saw no hope of such standards being adopted in the United States for overvoltages on the mains. Assume two buildings are interconnected by an Ethernet cable. And that cable is not earthed at the service entrance of both buildings. Then a lightning strike to one building acts like a lightning rod connected to all computers inside the second building.

I simply try to add a counter point that in fact the system can work well for a non techie user. (And most of my thousands of posts (wow, I've wasted a lot of time here) are mostly related to helping people troubleshoot their issues as new users. And I've learned a lot about how networks work, how DACs work, etc. etc. Didn't need all this info to use my SB players, but it led me to things like my vortexbox and its all interesting stuff nonetheless (and a distraction from my day job). It's true, my brother is not a power user. But he does have a touch with music attached, and also a Boom using the music attached to the Touch. I'd say given this that he may in fact be a more significant user than the average touch purchaser. But I'm just guessing. And to clarify, he does once in a while remove the USB drive, connect it to his laptop, add some mp3 or aac files, then reconnect it to the TOUCH. I've warned him to let it fully complete the scan (which he interprets as start it before bedtime and let it run all night no matter what). And the 85+ year old is probably even a better example. She uses internet radio (mostly french stations) and once in a while uses some pandora stations that her son set up for her. Pure access to mysqueezebox.com and none of her own music. I'm not sure that she's not the more typical mass market user these days. I'll mention a 3rd friend that has a duet. She only knows the controller exists. The receiver is hidden away with an auto-on mini amp connected to ceiling speakers (all set up by a home stereo installer). She literally doesn't know where the receiver is even sitting! (although I did figure it out just for curiosityon top of a kitchen cabinet out of site) She uses strictly pandora and a few internet stations, all via mysb.com. She's another example of a user that is certainly not techie, but uses the system with no issues (for a bit over a year now). The only thing she's ever mentioned to me is that once in a while she's had to remove the battery from the controller and put it back in to make it all reboot. I don't mention these things to annoy people. I simply believe it is important to counter the many posts on it's horrible and can't work. My experience is that it certainly can, and not just for computer geeks. I see mostly unstable networks and/or bad file tagging as the predominant problems reported here (rather than broken hardware or software). I myself have no professional experience in computer programming, networks, audio hardware, or anything related to these things. When I bought my first SB, I didn't understand the difference between mysqueezebox.com (squeezenetwork at that time) or SbS (squeezecenter). But I did know how to read (and evaluate cause effect). I now have a home and a weekend cottage where I have full house SB based systems, with some wired, some wifi players, including every type of player SB produces from SB3 onward. I started with SN(SbS) on my winxp laptop, and now use a vortexbox appliance. And (knock on wood) it is
[slim] What can I purchase to keep my shoes from getting a crease?
My friend has some things in her shoes to stop her shoes from getting a crease. She says you just insert them inside the shoe and they stay in place; keeping the shoes from creasing. -- linlishan linlishan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48467 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89009 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Music-Playback now on ANDROID! SqueezePlayer released to the market ...
When you manually start a new song, each player sort of starts at the same time. They all then need some time to tell each other their playback position and resync within the next 5 to 30 seconds. If all players have good timing you won't realize them adjusting all the time for the rest of the playlist. Did you wait a little bit for this to happen? Please also for tests first try only two players (ie SqueezePlayer and Squeezebox) and only then add others to see who might be the weak link. -- bluegaspode Did you know: *'SqueezePlayer' (www.squeezeplayer.com)* will stream all your music to your Android device.
