Re: playlists

dean - i've attached a simple m3u
file that contains a list of all the tunes in the folder it resides. it
works fine on my server.

what is interesting for version 2
of the software is that:

1. the m3u file gets listed last
(instead of first) - meaning if you play the parent folder it will play all the
tunes in it (better than before)

2. it will then get to the m3u file
and say <empty> - which as you can see it isn't (i realise that there may
be user-stupidity at large here) - whether i use the player remote or
browser

3. the id3 tags work well for
finding things - though i had a

\genre\j-m\artist\album style system before which works pretty well. i couldn't have
found everything by pink floyd from 1982 though. i better get all the tags
sorted then!

2)

playlists

David,

Can you zip up and e-mail me one of your playlists?

-dean

if anyone has has
difficulty in organising playlists, then the following point is something
that took me a couple of hours to work out [dohh...]

- make sure that
your .m3u and .pls files are not located inside the folders with the tunes -
the SlimP3 picks these up first and (on mine) cannot resolve them - i.e. the
song names appear on the player, and you can fastforward through them (the
tracks) as you would expect - but no sound! if you flick past the end
of the playlist into the real tunes (no playlist pointer) then
everything's fine. if you remove the playlist from the folder and
'play the folder' then this works.

does anyone know of
any instructions on how to store playlists on the SliMP3?

New server software

Release 2.0 of our server
software is now available for download. This is
the most substantial
update we've released so far, and includes a slew of
new features,
including the ability to browse an index of ID3 tags as well
as the
hard disk structure. There are many improvement in the web
interface,
including localization, "skins", the ability to control
multiple
clients from a web browser, and dramatically improved performance
when
serving large playlists. The complete change log will be
posted
shortly.

Interesting review

David Fred has written
a very detailed, technical review of the SliMP3,
which he sent to a
mailing list of home automation buffs. He concludes:

...It is clear
that the people who designed the SliMP3 have a clue. They
designed a
product they wanted to use themselves, and those are invariably
the
best products...

Please also read Sean's reply, and note that the
RF interference has since
been fixed - we are providing repairs free of
charge to customers affected
by this.
