You might want to look into anodizing What's anodizing got to do with Pandora? Ah! This is another example of posts from the forum not putting in unique message Id's/References. It's really making the mailing list/forum hard to follow. Any idea when we can expect a fix? Phil

90 days free for Squeezebox owners. After that, subscribe for $36/yr. Pandora's ad-supported offering is new, so we have to wait and see... Is it America only, or would there be a pricing structure (albeit rip-off) for the UK, hopefully with a UK server? Phil

Pandora is licensed to stream music to US customers only. (they have a faq on that) Thinking about it, the Flash demo streams to me in the UK. I assume they would tell through IP address. Maybe they will provide a UK service. If SqueezeNetwork is hosting Pandora for streaming to SqueezeBox,

Exactly! This is the bug I created and it would be good if you could vote for it so we can get it fixed. It's annoying to say the least. Threads I'm interested in might be very active but hidden in another thread about something completely different... It is very annoying - why can't people just

Implementation not too hard: if ffwd gets a press/hold, and you are in Album shuffle mode, clear the playlist and go get a new Album different from the current one. Similarly if you are in Year and Genre mode, perhaps? Single press ffwd skips forward to next track, whilst hold-ffwd goes into

Re: [slim] Syncronising -- track restarts

2006-02-06 Thread Philip Meyer
It would be really nice if SlimServer/hardware players could communicate to interrogate where they are currently up to in a song so that synchronisation can be started at any time. If Player A is currently playing and Player B is told to Sync to A, could SlimServer send a pause to A, find

[slim] Lame problem

2006-01-29 Thread Philip Meyer
This morning my SBG and SB2 were unresponsive - the time on the SB2 was static. I went to the server machine and I could see that I had a Windows Data Execution Prevention message for Lame. This must have been blocking the SlimServer code in such a way that the squeezeboxes didn't report

Indeed, GSPlayer works perfectly. Not if you have SlimServer set up with a username/password. I haven't found any PocketPC media player that supports authentication. Phil ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com

Does setting the 'background' setting to 'flat' help things at all ? No. Also, does it 'go through the roof' if you've just got the library window open ? Main app seems okay until I open the library window. Then the CPU goes to 100% if I drag the main window around (library window seems

Would it be possibe to see the currently playing track details as hover text on the icon too? As Kyle said, should be doing this already ? Let me know if there's a problem.. Seems to be working, to some degree. I wasn't playing anything the previous time I hovered over the tray icon, so it

Excellent! Thanks! Still too many clicks, but ... oh well. Seems quite intuitive to me. It's more powerfull this way, as you could navigate to Composer, Band, etc tags to browse the songs by that artist. Eg. If I navigate to Artist Ben Harper - Album I Am Sam Soundtrack - 6. Stawberry Fields
