Re: [slim] Dear Squeezebox, still love you
Well, I am an avid CD collector - still buying a lot of them and have about 3000 of them, plus 1000 albums on my server. So my CDplayer is still doing it's work. But, less and less. To be honest it is just so great to be able to go through your stuff using iPeng. But what would happen to those rows and rows of CDboxes, I mostly have classical and opera and they come with nice boxes and libretto's. They are sort of my appartements decoration - I like fiddling about with them. So now I have begun ripping all my symphonic stuff, guess what strangely I now listen to mostly symphonic music ;-) The SB started just for Jazz and anything modern - that I only had as digital files - but now it is taking over more and more. Theoretically I could rip all my music - would take for ever - and have a lot of space. Then instead of books I could only have my kindle. Guess my appartment would be pretty empty. I am not ready for that yet (maybe never). But it could still be that I rip more and more... Then the files and the discs could still coexist, whilst my cdplayer gathers dust. I also have books on my kindle that I have standing in my shelf - reading on the kindle is also easier. The only bad thing about files is the tagging, I guess I could retag files every day till I die and they still would not be perfect ;-) Squeezemenicely's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41812 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93924 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Want Retina Artwork on iPad? Check out iPeng for iPad 1.3!
After using iPeng on my iPhone for a long time I got myself Squeezepad for my iPad, was great (still is). But then I tried the iPeng party app on my iPad and that gave me a taste of what iPeng would be like, so I bought it. Absolutely great! just love the coverview and that I can finally use the iPad in portrait mode. The layout is very clear. For me the winner at the moment is - iPengHD. But it is good to have options and that there are two great apps competing on the iPad market.

Thanks in advance Hi albertone74, unfortunately this is not possible. The server does not provide the images in these menu, and I also don't have direct access to the images on the server. If you have a good folder structure, then I suggest using mp3tag to tag all your music files. This program is able to create tags based on file/folder patterns and you can upgrade your files in bulk mode. Then you will be able to use the albums views which has other advantages (like being cached and much faster) as well. Hope this workaround does help you a bit. bluegaspode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31651 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80553 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Use the filenames to tag in the CONVERT menu. You can use directory and subdirectory information as well as filename to automate things. So if you have things organized like: c:\music\artist\album\tracks... you can use mp3tag to automatically fill in artist name, album name, track name and number, etc. It may take a bit of time to learn how to do this, but once figured out, it is very easy. and yes, LMS will work MUCH MUCH better if you have good tags instead of using browse music folder. garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80553 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] My new Squeezebox: a SB2!
My first Squeezebox was a SB3 bought in 2005. Since than, I've had all newer models, except the Transporter: 1 Boom, 1 Duet, 3 Radio (Black Red and White) and a Touch. At last, I am now the happy owner of a beautiful SB2 found on ebay. I didn't need it, but really wanted to have one! The previous owner kept the original box. I got the impression to buy a new one. I am sure the pictures below will remind you of happy memories ;-). 1342013421134221342313424 +---+ |Filename: IMG_0189.JPG | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=13424| +---+ didjean's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2900 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95230 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

However it would be a great feature if the IP also could be specified, so that Whitebear would connect to remote Squeezebox Server. Unfortunately this is not possible because Whitebear also needs direct access to the file system on the PC where the SBS music library is located.

Thus the about 10,000 CDs (and my wife saying don't you already have several versions of that song? and what is this 70 disk Complete Grateful Dead 1972 Europe Tourhow much more do you need). Of course I always read the booklets, etc., but now I find myself spending more time reading the wiki on an artist and album that often provides more info than the liner notes/booklet. And I can do this right from my ipad running iPengHD or SqueezePad with a click or two while playing the album If I was starting over, I might actually scan the entire booklet to have that digitally as well...maybe in retirement (although I'm hoping that someone out there creates a nice database of downloadable album booklets like they've done for cover art). Then again, I can still open the filing cabinets, pull out the CD (from the alphabetically organized disks) and read the booklets if so desired. garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93924 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Dear Squeezebox, still love you
I got a squeezebox without doing much research and feel incredibly lucky that it turned out to be exactly the right choice. For me, the third-party software allows me to create a completely customized listening experience. I've even programmed in my 3-year project of listening to all my music in alphabetical order (including writing SQL for playlists). For my family, whose listening habits are less rigorous than mine, they've never had any problems using the Squeezebox to browse/play/stream whatever they want out of the box. I don't know what we'd do without squeezeboxes.
