Re: [slim] Dear Squeezebox, still love you
Just felt I should add my love...

[slim] Is there a way to force-refresh a podcast on LMS?
Platform: Logitech Media Server Versjon: 7.7.1 - r33750 @ Mon Dec 12 09:42:47 PST 2011 OS: Windows XP Right now an Opera subscription directly to the podcast RSS stream shows that today's episode of the podcast is in place. But LMS still shows the old version of the available podcasts episodes for the feed, ie. the last available episode is the one from friday. And re-visiting the podcast doesn't make it update. Is there a way to forcibly update the podcast? Ie. something similar to shift-reload in many browsers...?

Re: [slim] My wife is forcing me to use iTunes
Zac;694065 Wrote: For the past 5 years or so alll of my music has been stored in a 'My Music' folder, all as flac files. I also have a separate itunes music folder somewhere (where ever itunes has chosen) with many many duplicates which were - until now - copied from cds. Recently my wife and sons have been buying from itunes - and they want to play the music on the main (SB) system. I have searched and read the myryan files on itunes integration but am still confused. If I go the multiple library route (not sure how but understand I can) then most music will be listed twice? I could live with this although nit sure when selecting how I would know I was selecting the flac version and not the mp3. It would be great on the front screen to be able to select either 'my music' or 'itunes music' and have SB look in different folders on command. Any thoughts? Thanks install erland's multilibrary plugin. better yet (and what I do), when they buy itunes music, simply copy those files over to your permanent library. Set it up like follows: x:\my music (top directory for your library) x:\my music\flac\(location of all your flac files x:\my music\lossyonly (location of all the mp3/aac files you own that do NOT have FLAC versions) x:\someotherdirectory\lossymirror (this is where you keep your mp3 copies of FLAC files. So point your LMS at x:\my music and you'll pick up your FLAC files and the mp3/aac files that are unique. For itunes, point itunes at x:\lossymirror as the library. But then also navigate to x:\lossyonly and do a directory add to add all these files to your itunes library. When done, the itunes library will have all the mp3/aac files. Another approach would be to have wife/kids install LMS on their own computer. Give it a unique name in LMS Settings (Wife's Music Library). Then when they want to play their own music, they can go to my music then to switch library, then scroll down and select Wife's music Library. -- garym *Location 1:* VB Appliance 6TB (1.10) LMS 7.7.1 Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Location 2:* VB Appliance 3TB (2.0) LMS 7.7.1 Touch Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) LMS 7.7.1 SqueezePlay Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controllers: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.7 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93971 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Slacker stoppages anyone?
I never had any problems with Slacker when I was using LMS on my ReadyNAS. Unfortunately, I'm waiting for a warranty replacement, so in the meantime, I've been using LMS on my Macbook. But Slacker has been much less reliable going through LMS on the Mac, as I've had it stop after 2 songs, after 3 songs, after 5 songs, and once it made it through my full 40 minute alarm period without stopping. Then this morning I never heard anything... no Slacker, no backup alarm, no nothing, and ended up waking up 30 minutes late. I can't say that I've run into any issues listening outside of the alarm period though. I'm planning on switching to MySB for the next couple of days, until I get my ReadyNAS back up and running (the replacement unit should be coming in today). -- virgiliomi squeezebox devices: boom, duet, and radio dlna devices: sony bravia tv, wmp11 on win7 lms 7.7.2 beta running on a readynas ultra 2 plus virgiliomi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33715 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93938 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Dear Squeezebox, still love you
Count me in, too. I had long pined for a way to play digitized music through my stereo system, other than by burning CDs. I stumbled upon the Duet somewhere, and the rest all followed. Original Duet replaced by a Transporter sourced on eBay, with that Duet in storage pending future need. Second Duet services music needs on the home theater system. Two Booms in active use in various places, usually outside on the verandah and my home office. A third is in storage against future needs, bought from the UK with a European plug (I'm in Canada), when another Boom dies, I will use its plug). I bought a spare Controller when Logitech Canada sold them cheap (against future needs again), but often find myself using the app for the BlackBerry playbook to control the system. I love this system, and can't imagine my musical life without it. Or something similar. Am writing this on vacation in Belize, sitting on my deck watching the Caribbean and the light rain, listening to music on my Boom, run through a direct wifi connection to my netbook (what win7 calls an ad hoc connection), which contains my entire music collection converted to high end mp3s from lossless.

Re: [slim] My wife is forcing me to use iTunes
Or if you want simple, why not just make a copy of the songs purchased in iTunes into your LMS library and make a playlist with all of the iTunes songs. That way the iTunes songs would be in the LMS library, but if they wanted to listen just those songs it would be easy for them to find. Or even a few playlists with the iTunes songs, Wife, Son 1, Son 2 ect. Might be a lot simpler than doing the multi-library and if they just want the songs in LMS and don't mind looking thru your music and vice versa, it might work. -- rayman1701 rayman1701's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41326 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93971 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Logitech Blog post on the Squeezebox
If they do release any new Squeezebox devices they need a major rebrand. Completely drop the name 'Logitech' from the device and marketing and relaunch as a completely standalone brand, with a dedicated Squeezebox.com site and no association to Logitech at all. That's the only way HiFi enthusiasts will start showing an interest again.
