Michael, Ok - I burned the SlimCD 1.87 Beta 2 ISO to a CD and booted. I had created a bunch of test files and put them on a USB pendrive. I simply mounted the pendrive, pointed Slimserver to it, and then played all the test files, and they all worked. I did not worry about the specific conversion rules, I just wanted to see if each file type would play, and they did.
File types tested successfully: aac (m4a), aac+ (m3u streaming test), Apple Lossless (m4a), mp2, mp3, ogg, ape, mpc, flac, wav, wma - 9.2 lossy, wma 9.2 lossless, and wma 10. I guess I missed aiff! One bothersome thing I noticed in my experience was that when using Softsqueeze in SlimCD, that in order to get the keyboard arrow keys to work, I have to turn on and then turn off the touch-screen mode. The arrow keys will work until Softsqueeze loses focus. If I type in an xterm window for example, the keyboard arrow keys stop working in Softsqueeze and I have to activate/de-active touch-screen mode again. That is kind of weird. I like using the arrow keys, as it is easier to navigate than using the mouse to press the remote keys on the display. -Ron -- Ron F. *Squeezebox setup:* wireless SB3 -> CI Audio VDA.2 DAC + VAC.1 PSU *Main rig:* NAD 7600 + NAD 2600A -> Phase Tech PC-6.5 speakers *Headphone rig:* Headroom Max -> Sennheiser 650s *Music Server:* Nano-ITX computer running SlimCD + 750 GByte HDD -> Netgear wireless router *Other stuff:* NAD C542 CDP, NAD 6300 Tape, Monster 5100 Power conditioner, Outlaw Audio cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron F.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5616 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35744 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
