And because of us that hair is all grey by now... ...

Ray was a dear family friend who passed this morning. He was in his mid 90's and lived a full life. He wrote and performed several funny skiing songs back in the 60's. For those of you that ski I think you'll get a kick out of this song.

And this one is...

A great loss to the music world. Founding member of the Byrds w/Roger (Jim) Mcguinn and then again with CSN and CSNY. A sad day for sure.

I see M2 SSD ENCLOSURES for cheap like you say, but the actual M.2 SSD to put in the enclosure is a wee bit more expensive. Are you sure you're talking about a 1TB M.2 SSD?...

That's funny, my own post cleared the channel.

[w3wilkes]

Out of the blue this channel is again showing unread posts or replies. I tried Clear channel to no avail. Would someone post something so I can clear this channel?

[w3wilkes]

But is that my today or Australia's today? Or is it zulu?

[w3wilkes]

Pulled this out as I haven't listened to it in a long time. 1970 Mountain - Climbing! Great album!

I know there's a thread on these bords where a user cut the cord a soldered in a USB A plug and now they just use a regular phone charger wall wart and it works fine.

on my Windows box my music lives in

D:\Music\<Album Artist>\<Album>\<Track>

On my phone my music lives in

SDCard/Music/<Album Artist>/<Album>/<Track>

so my relative path addresses are the same on both. My playlists...

I guess I don't know what you mean by extraneous part of the path. My relative paths on my PC and phone are identical. But just FYI I use Poweramp on my phone.

Only IBM corporate was hateful of Windows and initially banned it internally. The story was IBM co-developed OS2 with Microsoft...

You previously mentioned using Notepad++ which I also find to be a great tool for some things. But being an old retired IBM mainframe type person I use a free editing application on Windows called SPFLite2 which works just like ISPF on the mainframe. Using this editor I can change a playlist with hundreds,...

[w3wilkes]

In both your examples it looks like you have what I call explicit track location playlists. I didn't think LMS cared about which way the slashes go, I thought it would work either way.

In LMS I specify my root Music folder as also the playlist folder so in my case I change LMS generated...

I used SQLPlaylists to generate playlists from random songs with selected genres. I also wanted to restrict these to a given BPM which SQLPlaylists didn't support so I had to edit the SQL and add the statements to select chosen BPM's or ranges. I've added the BPM tag to all my music using tuneXplor...

[w3wilkes]

What does a playlist look like that's generated using JRMC export? Give a short example of the exported playlist and then what it looks like after you massage it. Maybe helpful to see both.

Back in the late 80's after trying a few carts I finally settled on Ortofon and have never looked back.

[w3wilkes]

Thanks for the test post. After reading I was able to successfully clear the channel!...

[w3wilkes]

All the posts in the Boom Channel show read for me too. The issue is in the main view of all channels (general discussion, squeezebox radio, squeezebox touch, squeezebox boom, etc) shows that I have unread posts in the Boom Channel. In the image note that General discussion and Duet show grey icons...

[w3wilkes]

Bump - Does anybody else see this in the Boom "Channel" or is it just me?...

At what bitrate is your MP3? If high like VBR -V0 -q0 or CBR 320 you should rerip to FLAC and then do a double blind comparison per Archimago comparison blog posts, especially from a vinyl needle drop rip. ...
