Re: [slim] Please tell me it ain't so.
I recently purchased a Sonos Connect as a fail safe should Logitech pull the plug on mysqueezebox, which they eventually will, to listen to music services such as MOG. After a couple of months of use,i still prefer the Squeezebox Touch and no I don't have any 24/96/192 files and I don't exceed that 65,000 file limit or whatever it is. The Touch is simply a better product and cheaper too. jhonsber...@msn.com's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4438 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96999 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Now the Squeezebox is dead, what would your next system be? And why?
I plan on using my SLIM DEVICES TRANSPORTER for as long as long as it is operational.I have a spare that is rarely used to replace this one .The Transporters will run LMS for as long as the devices are operational for my local library which is about 600 GB's and climbing. I have bought a Sonos Connect,with the coaxial output attached to the Transporter's digital input for inside my house and the optical output to my Benchmark dacs optical input for my enclosed porch area. Sonos has alot more music services anyway and that's all it will be used for . I hope I'm set for a long long time but should any of the posters here like Erland decide to come up with a Squeezebox replacement ,I will buy that too. Maybe Phil Leigh is working on a device?

My understanding however, is that the way the icloud is working is that the device DOWNLOADS the song to your player when you select it from the cloud. So its not true streaming. Could be wrong about this, but when I selected a song from the icloud on my ipad last night, it downloaded the song to my ipad Yeah you have to download it manually from your Apple device. That doesn't impress me. I also notice there is no way to delete something you have downloaded from icloud from the device itself.So you still have to connect that device to the computer. That doesn't impress me either.Why not just download right from the comnputer? It will be much faster anyway. Those who pirated music might go for this but my whole library is in lossless format,so i have no interest. -- jhonsber...@msn.com jhonsber...@msn.com's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4438 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88188 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] MOG Coming for Sonos
Well MOG is now available on Sonos. Hopefully we will see it soon on Squeezebox, but Mog support has said that the Squeezebox software is quirky and would take alot of effort to do. -- jhonsber...@msn.com jhonsber...@msn.com's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4438 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86216 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Mac Mini - going to sleep
I have a imac with a Transporter and Squeezebox Touch hardwired to a Apple extreme Router. When playing music on the Imac harddrive both will stop playing when my sleep setting(10 minutes)kicks in .My imac isn't supposed to sleep when there is hard drive activity,like playing music. Funny thing is I don't remember having this problem several months ago and I haven't changed my sleep settings.I have done Snow Leopard and Squeezebox server updates over the last several months so who knows what the problem is. last time I had this problem with the sleep function on my imac was about 4 years ago.Since then I haven't had the problem until recently again. Four years ago I just turned the Imac sleep setting to never when playing music.I guess i may have to do that again .I can do it remotely so its no big deal but I have seen this behavior before with Mac products and Squeezebox software. -- jhonsber...@msn.com jhonsber...@msn.com's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4438 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40226 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I work for a Fortune 50 company that gets *very* good discounts on enterprise storage arrays and we pay easily 2x this price just to buy the arrays, not to mention the man power to care and feed them, the electrical power to run and cool them, etc. Not everything can be compared to the price of a consumer product. But Amazon's cloud service is geared for consumer not business music and photo storage. I didn't see them touting this service for business use. This really is a consumer product and due to its pricing structure,I don't see much success for this service. -- jhonsber...@msn.com jhonsber...@msn.com's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4438 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86662 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] MOG Coming for Sonos
MOG has indicated several times in their community support forum that they will beworking on Squeezebox support. I'm pretty certain they have put a public API out there so maybe someone with some tech skills with develop a MOG plugin. -- jhonsber...@msn.com jhonsber...@msn.com's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4438 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86216 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

maybe if Logitech wants to sell more radios,they will come to some type of agreement with MOG to develop native software.
