If tracks are in queue: click play for a playlist and queue is replaced, but playback begins per above if no tracks are in queue, playlist is loaded, and playback begins per above workaround: clear queue, add playlist to blank queue, click play for first track, and playback continues for entire playlist/queue. is this expected behavior? -- 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=112317 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] if you could voice-enable squeeze boxen...
the pronunciation problem is solvable, was in fact largely solved several years ago, but not enough of the newer systems take advantage of data that's available. it's actually better in the car for the most part, at least those systems that relay on Nuance AVR. and i agree about the kitchen as a primary use environment. still, it's much easier to just say "play me x" than to grab my phone, unlock it, scroll/click perhaps several menu layers deep, to find what i want. ideally, there'd be some sort of AI + voice, so one could just walk in the house, say "i feel fucking great, play music..." and the system would understand "fucking great" is greater than merely great, and play music accordingly. and the reverse as well. -- 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=105674 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

cliveb wrote: Nice of you to ignore everything else I said (for which you presumably have no answer). You're right, I've not heard MQA. I have no need to. Look: the world is full of basic understanding about all manner of things, backed up by plenty of empirical evidence. And there are crackpots in every sphere who would like to challenge the standard model. When dismissed, they always resort to the same line: but how can you know if you haven't tried it?. Well, life is just too short to give every crackpot idea the time of day (*). The more at odds it is with the standard model, the less inclined we are to waste our time testing it. And high-end audio is absolutely chock-full of crackpot ideas so at odds with what we are very sure to be true that they really don't deserve even the slightest iota of our attention. Here's an extreme example to illustrate the point: ME: your pickup cartridge would sound so much better with my revolutionary nylon stylus mounted on a cantilever lovingly crafted from cold pasta. YOU: don't be daft ME: how can you say that without trying it? YOU: you're mad Some of us apply the same reasoning when presented with the latest nonsense from the hires-peddling crowd. So yes, I am closed-minded to many things that can't conceivably be true. (Who was it said that you need to be careful keeping an open mind, else your brains might fall out?) (*) I'm not saying that Bob Stuart is a crackpot. Meridian have done some fine things in the past. (I especially applaud their advocacy of digital active speakers). But MQA doesn't make any sense, other than as another way to fleece a gullible public. you seem to have missed some key info, in that MQA is based on new neuroscience research. so, while you may be sure you know what's true, it seems the actual science was not settled. -- 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=102648 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Apple's ALAC now open source!
correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe the transporter does not support HW decoding for alac. for this reason, and because i use iTunes for library management, i've kept my library as AIFF. sure, takes up more space, but hard drives are cheap. the other reason being i can hear the difference between alac coverted to flac on the server, and native aiff playback. i assume there is no firmware upgrade possible for the transporter that would provide HW decoding for alac. that said, i'm no longer using the analog outputs on the transporter- it now connects digitally to a meridian G61 processor. i suppose i should do some listening to see if there's still an audible difference between aiff/alac in my system. -- netchord -- 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=91185 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Itunes Genius how can I have it in my sueezebox
Philip Meyer;572005 Wrote: This is exactly what MusicIP does; it's much better than Genius: 1. Supports more file formats, not just mp3 and Apple formats. 2. It analyses the content of the music to find similarities, not dependent on properly tagged music metadata. 3. You have some control over how it makes mixes (eg. how similar music is selected, whether to have smooth transitions between songs, etc). 4. You can choose what music to include/exclude from mixes. It's not particularly hard to install in a basic setup. i.e. just install the product, point it at your music library and let it scan. Then rescan SBS and it should work, as long as MusicIP client GUI is running. There is more sophisticated installations (i.e. to run MusicIP as a service that doesn't require the GUI client to be open), but take one step at a time. Genius does waveform analysis, as well as text analysis. it used to be tuned to content apple had available in the ITS, but it's broader now. in itunes, you just click the button that says save playlist when you're viewing a genius generated PL. SC will recognize it, just takes a bit for the refresh. not as cool as one-touch, but it works. easy enough to build both the WF analysis and PL gen algorithm into SC, logitech would have to decide its worthwhile to license the technology. -- netchord netchord's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21002 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75367 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
