Re: [slim] SiriusXM Support Through ickStream
so, i have a cheap, and relatively easy workaround until this is properly sorted out: Chromecast Audio. i installed the chrome extension, connected the chromecast optical output to the optical in on my Transporter, selected the input, then opened SXM in a tab, and cast it to the device. works like a charm. the chromecast is $35, and now supports multiroom, so i assume you could connect them to digital/analog inputs on a variety of squeezeboxen, selected those inputs, and cast away. -- 4 TB Drobo-->FW 800-->mac mini-->Ethernet Transporter--> Wireworld Eclipse 6 coax-->Meridian G61 G61--> Nordost Red Dawn-->Primare 30.3 Primare-->Ocos--Vienna Acoustics Beethoven/Maestro netchord's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21002 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104395 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Spotify adding local music to playlist
How well does Spotify/Smart Mix work in a multi-player synced setup, particularly with a mix of SBs and Pi's? 2-SB3s, 1-Touch, and a Raspberry Pi B+ with TekDevice dacBerry 3+ running piCorePlayer. Mac Mini as a server (OS X Yosemite). Direct Ethernet connection (1-SB3 and the Raspberry Pi) and power-line (1-SB3 and Touch). iPeng is my controller of choice.

Re: [slim] Spotify adding local music to playlist
I only sync a couple of Pi's usually but in their case Spotify / SmartMix work fine. I'd expect a mix of SBs & Pi's to be similar. *Vortexbox LMS 7.8 music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets *Living Room* - SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 - > Celestion Ditton F20s - Zone 2 -> Sony TA FE 320 -> Sennheiser RS 130 & B P7 *Office* - RPi -> Sony TA FE320 -> Celestion F10s / SB3 -> Onkyo CRN 755 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes *Dining Room* -> SB Boom *Kitchen* -> UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* - SB Touch -> Topping TP21 -> AKG Headphones *Bedroom (TV)* - Amazon Fire TV (SB Player) -> Topping TP20 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104791 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Poll: Squeezebox Support in audio|acacia: Hardware-Agnostic Multi-Room Music Software
Hi All, We've received a few requests as of late regarding adding Logitech Squeezebox device playback support to our software-based multi-room audio product called "audio|acacia". I've done some initial research and adding support for Squeezebox devices as end-points looks very possible. Before we go down this road of supporting Squeezebox devices, I wanted to better understand if the SB community at large is interested in such an integration. Who would actually use it (i.e. pay for an audio|acacia license) and what level of functionality would be acceptable. A LITTLE ABOUT \"AUDIO|ACACIA\": We've designed audio|acacia from the ground up to be hardware-agnostic. Our philosophy is that you should be able to utilize your existing devices to build a multi-room audio listening experience. As such, any audio-enabled device that can support some method of synchronization is on our radar. We already support playback to Apple AirPlay devices, Sonos devices, Google Cast devices (Chromecast, Chromecast V2, Chromecast Audio, & 3rd-Party Google Cast speakers), Web Browsers, and Mobile/Tablet/PC speakers & soundcards. Most importantly, we can play to each of these devices whilst maintaining audio synchronization. This is something we feel is important to the user experience. audio|acacia natively supports a number of the top internet music services such as Tidal, Rhapsody, Napster, iHeartRadio, Deezer, Slacker, etc. as well as local sources such as iTunes, WMP, Winamp, & Generic Folder Structures. More sources are on our development roadmap. WHAT A SQUEEZEBOX-AUDIO|ACACIA INTEGRATION MIGHT LOOK LIKE: There are really four 'levels' of functionality of a potential Squeezebox integration - 1) Audio Playback to SB devices from audio|acacia 2) Playback Control of the audio|acacia speaker group from the SB device (using the SB remote or SBC to control playback) 3) Currently Playing Song Metadata of the audio|acacia speaker group on the SB interface 4) Audio Browsing of audio|acacia 'sources' on SB Interfaces Initially we'd start with just #1, and then add #2-3 if community support is high. #4 is not something that we are interested in developing, however we are open to helping members of the SB community use our API to build their own searching/browsing integration on SB devices.

[slim] FS ($ lowered) - Near Mint Touch + CIA Linear Power Supply + Shunyata Cord
Title says it all. Both the Touch and the PSU look new. Only fault I know of is sometimes the power port on the Touch is a bit twitchy. Unplug and plug the power cord from the PSU again and all is good. Remote included. $375 + shipping in the US only. Will include a Shunyata Venom powercord ($150) with a full price sale.

Re: [slim] Poll: Squeezebox Support in audio|acacia: Hardware-Agnostic Multi-Room Music Software
Your idea is good, the system looks promising. For me, there are some things missing: UPnP devices, Raspberry Pi AS client, Google Play Music and TuneIn Radio.
