Re: [slim] SqueezePlay for Windows with ASIO, DirectSound, WASAPI and WDMKS device support.
Thank you very much. It is working fine on windows 7. I have noticed that you recently have build many different versions of SqueezePlay, so I was wondering if you are planning to make an ARM build as well? The reason for my asking is, that I have bought a Raspberry board, and I will try to use it as a dedicated player using SqueezePlay. I have better success with synchronizing if I use SqueezPlay as compared with SquuezeSlave, because the latter needs to transcode some of my radio streams to 44100, which is not needed if I use SqueezePlay. This experience is on windows and Debian computers, I haven't tried on the Raspberry board yet (mainly because I have been unable to run fin a SqueezPlay that can be used on this board) sbp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37237 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96573 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Mainly because I don't do cross compiling, it's always been problematic for me and I don't own an RPI. My main reason to creating these builds was to make SqueezePlay run on my Solaris SPARC Sun Ray devices. There is a build of SqueezePlay for RPI but apparently there are still issues with the hardware SDL implementation. The Linux ALSA version does not need any of my modifications as it uses alsa-lib to query the hardware for the max sample rate and you can easily change the default ALSA device using .asoundrc or modifying the usersettings files created by squeezeplay. ralphy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3484 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96573 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Recommendation for subwoofer with crossover (with outputs for two speakers)
I am still scratching my head over my garage/workshop HiFi. I am using a Logitech Receiver and (as recommended on the forum) have ordered a Muse M50 EX TPA3123 T-Amp Mini Audio Digital Stereo Amplifier (50W Watt RMS x 2) to drive my 4ohm Sony car speakers which I've boxed and screwed the end garage wall. Although the speakers sound good enough for a garage (with my last now defunct amp anyway) there's not enough bass.. and I have a fondness for electronic music with bass (but not exclusively). I've been looking around to find some inexpensive modern speakers with decent sized woofers (and bass reflex?) that would sound OK screwed against the wall, but on a limited budget (it is only a garage!) I've hit a blank. My next thought was to get a single subwoofer, one with a crossover so I could route both speakers outputs from the amp through it and it would pass the filtered signal to the two wall speakers. However, the world of subwoofers is one that baffles me. Does anyone have any experience of subwoofers with integrated crossovers that would work well on a 50w rms amp in the set up I describe? The lower priced the better! Thanks for any help.

[slim] Squeezebox Classic Crashing (Blank Screen)
My SB3 has recently been crashing (going to pure black screen, not responding to any commands) somewhat frequently, even when it's just sitting in screensaver mode, running SuperDateTime. If I unplug the power and plug it back in, I can force a reboot, after which it runs normally for about 10-12 hours before crashing again. I've been reading about other people having issues with SqueezeBox Classics crashing and restarting while playing music, but didn't see anything on the forums about it crashing and shutting down outright while displaying a screensaver (though I may just not be using the correct search terms). Has anyone else experienced a similar issue, and, if so, did you find a resolution outside of just replacing the Squeezebox? I don't really want to buy a new SqueezeBox at this time, with Logitech discontinuing support for them.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Classic Crashing (Blank Screen)
Best guess for the most common two culprits: 1. PSU: failing or lose connection, jiggle the input on SB3 see if it induces reboot 2.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Classic Crashing (Blank Screen)
Does it crash if it plays instead of being off? Does it crash on wifi and Ethernet the same way? Are you using DHCP, and if so can you change the lease time and see if the symptom occurs at a different frequency? (Same questions about the server) An SB is not made to crash ;) usually when I see a crash, the server has crashed. I have seen a few network related freezes requiring hard reboot, and I have seen once my Boom freeze after receiving an IR command. I have seen a few electronic devices wedge when a refrigerator starts (plugging the device somewhere else or changing PSU resolves this) If power, network and server failure causes are ruled out, then what you're seeing could be the effect of age (capacitors?)

Re: [slim] FYI - New Rhapsody Cloud Sync
MeSue wrote: I got a thing in my email about Rhapsody's new Cloud Sync app that matches your local music with your Rhapsody library. Sounded good to me so I installed and kicked it off before going to bed. Then I browsed my Rhapsody library on Squeezebox and here it is all cluttered up with my local music. Ummm... Not really what I was expecting. So, fellow Rhapsody users, consider yourself warned. I'll have to investigate tomorrow to see if it's easily undo-able. Can you elaborate on what you mean by ... all mixed up with my local music.? My expectation is that once Rhapsody has synced your local music collection, My Library on Rhapsody would display Albums/Artists/Tracks from both your local music library and your previously existing Rhapsody library all together, probably with no visual indication of the difference. Is that what happens? Does it browse differently when going through LMS vs. browsing through Rhapsody's web interface? My biggest hesitation in doing this is that Rhapsody's really minimal, under-featured browsing capabilities would make browsing my moderately large collection unbearable. Having been spoiled by the library browsing tools in LMS (especially w/ some 3rd party plugins) it's quite hard to have to work with the under-powered systems most other systems, like Rhapsody, have. I also wonder what Rhapsody does with all your tag information -- almost certainly ignores it completely. That means that the Genre tag for your local music will get set to whatever genre Rhapsody has for that file. I find Rhapsody's genres to be next to useless, and it means all that hard work tagging my music goes to waste.
