Re: [slim] Possible to convert your favourites list to a playlist?
Hi, I had this issue since Winamp is one of the players I use from time to time, I searched on the Winamp site for a plugin - they have something that allows you to create a playlist, as normal, and then export that as a saved m3u file to any external player. The plugin creates a file item - save playlist complete which transferres the list, or exports to anything. I actually use it, in conjunction with MusicIP which creates the playlists - I then see that in Winamp use the save playlist complete to transfer that to a Rockboxed iPod, and save it to my Playlists folder so that the Squeezeserver can see it. Sounds much more complicated than it really is - in all, creation of a new playlist saving/transferring takes no more tha a couple of minutes! Hope that helps!

[slim] Cheapest option for hardware to run iPeng?
Hi, We have iPeng on a couple of iPhones around the house but as our squeezebox environment grows I'm looking for something dedicated in one part of the house that can ideally run iPeng but not at too great a cost. I have just ordered a new battery for my controller (3rd one) and that will cover some control in one part of the house but the interface is different so we don't really use that anymore. So I want a iTouch or whatever they are called I guess, unless there is another device that can run iPeng? Assuming only the Apple solution is an option is there a minimum year /spec I should look out for on eBay? We use iPhone 4 at home but I have no idea about the iTouch thingies and don't want to spend much more then 100 pounds. Any suggestions greatly received.

Re: [slim] Cheapest option for hardware to run iPeng?
What you're probably looking for is an iPod touch (Apple and their fuNky captiLization...), sometimes called an iTouch. To keep costs down, look for a refurbished one at Apple.com or elsewhere. I can highly recommend the 3rd Generation iPod touch. If you're mostly using it for remote control of SB and not for playing music on its own, then you can also save money by getting one without much RAM. I got one with 32GB because it doubles as my portable player when I travel -- if you don't have that need then an 8GB model would be fine. aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95474 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Cheapest option for hardware to run iPeng?
I can only agree with aubuti. iPod Touch 3G is perfectly fine. BUT: you have to be careful, there are no 3rg Generation models with 8 GB, I believe, they only come in 32 an 64 GB variants, 8GB is only for 2nd and 4th Gen. I do NOT recommend the 2ng Gen Models anymore. They work but are slower and I might discontinue support for them end of this year or so, depending on how iOS development goes on. pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95474 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Cheapest option for hardware to run iPeng?
We just got my daughter a current generation 8GB iPod Touch (4th gen I believe) for $170 from Amazon. I'm shocked at how the price has come down. This was even less expensive than a refurb of the same model from Apple. Local stores in our area have had them price similarly.

Re: [slim] Cheapest option for hardware to run iPeng?
Yea. People don't buy as many as before since now everybody has a smartphone.

WIFI equipment has a tendency of failing after a few years for some reason, it's just not very reliable stuff (You say? When produced at the absolutely lowest-cost possible!?!?). Reprogrammed the Xilinx thing (microcontroller?), and appears to still be working fine.

Re: [slim] Cheapest option for hardware to run iPeng?
I'm down on this option, but I may have just had bad luck. I got a refurbed iPod Touch and the battery stopped recharging pretty quickly. I wish the dang things had a user-replaceable battery. You can get a refurbed Android tablet, root and flash Ice Cream Sandwich and use the Logitech app for about the same price. I will say that iPeng HD is the best tablet app period. jimzak's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17592 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95474 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Cheapest option for hardware to run iPeng?
Yes, and it still does. It does not support iOS 5, though. And while I currently don't see a reason to move the App to iOS 5 only (there were much bigger changes between 3 and 4) I still can't guarantee that there well not be a reason to remove support for the older devices in future updates. Already today, synchronization doesn't really work on 2nd gen devices if you use the playback, that only really works well on devices that support multitasking (and I don't even know why, could as well be the processor). pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95474 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Good point, because there is some confusion out there in the secondary markets. As explained on wikipedia: Following the introduction of the 3rd generation iPod Touch, Apple also continued offering the 2nd generation 8 GB version, upgraded to the same iPhone OS version as the new 3rd generation devices. The iPod Touch (3rd generation) is model A1318. Apple as well sold many refurbished iPod Touch 2nd generation models with the 3rd generation software effectively making them a 3rd generation unit. These can be identified by having a maximum installable version of iOS 4.2.1. aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95474 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
