I have 2 backups one brand new.
I bought a used "like new" one for about 115 dollars and it works great.

Long live Squeezebox!

Re: [slim] Which Streaming Music Service works best for You and your system?

2018-07-14 Thread noexit


Interesting and unexpected development regarding my search for a music
service:  Recently I signed up for both Spotify and Deezer.  Spotify
initially but then Deezer as I'm still not yet able to get my Spotify
Plugin working (It's definitely an issue with my Win 7 OS install
needing a fresh reinstall of the OS - not something I'll have time for
anytime soon.)  

Anyway, we're grooving out in the house with Deezer when my oldest child
(4 years old) wants to hear something about Room Without A Roof.  A
quick Google Search reveals that he's discovering Pop Music - much to
the chagrin of my John Coletrane, Hank Mobley, Stanley Turrentine taste.
But hey, he's 4 and anything to get him grooving too!  So we play Happy
by Pharrell Williams and then turn on the Deezer flow to follow.  A few
songs later my 4 year old is hearing about how We're gonna (something)
her (something) up in da (something)...   Ouch!  Another quick Google
search reveals that Deezer doesn't really have a method for filtering
explicit lyrics.  Nothing I exactly anticipated as most everything I
listen to is instrumental or is from the days where everything was
radio-friendly.

So, I'm still searching.

[slim] Just bought another Touch...

2018-07-14 Thread Apesbrain

To balance the "so long, and thanks for the fish" threads, checking in
to say I got it on eBay as a backup.  Paid 50ยข on the dollar, so a fair
deal.  I may never need it, but wanted the insurance.

-Long live Squeezebox!-

Partly answering my own question, I researched the new service a little
bit.  I have not actually tried it, and there is a free month trial. 
But, from what others have said, the bit rate tops at 128K which seems
very low for a $9.99/mo fee.  That combined with new direct LMS service
will eliminate me as a potential customer.
