I've always had gapless playback on LMS.

It's great that a old eco system is still updated and works, I have a Squeezebox Radio, Wiim Ultra, two Logitech Touches, and a classic V3. One classic V3 was going unreliable with reboots so that is scrap. Also the host service is open source, so went from system to system, the app is control...

I've got a spare drive, on a couple of times the system was corrupted couldn't even boot into picoreplayer, so I go to my backup drive clone that to the corrupted one. the dual bay SATA docking bay comes in handy as it has one click clone feature

I've had issues with the new LMS on the PC requiring strawberry perl. Worked fine with the built in perl. Auto start service and auto mount worked with the old one.

I haven't used what you're using, however I've found generic UPNP/DNLA servers pretty crap. I have 300,000 tracks and it sorts them out brilliantly.

LMS is great, once it's setup. I've used it on a laptop, then moved to NAS, then a new NAS, and a raspberry Pi. Brilliant music server. If you have chance install on your NAS.

It's pretty obvious from the outset a stereo streamer product won't offer the capabilities of a AVR. Room correction with independent subwoofer EQ, and EQ like Dirac additional purchase HDMI multiple input & output , with video bypass and OSD Dolby Digital, DTS and variants decoding upmixing and...

Just keep the Wiim as a streamer. All other streamers will be the same. Also if you don't have a subwoofer with your AVR, it'll discard the LFE signal also.

I'm using digital out, nut went for the Ultra. For the screen, and USB support (so connect USB HD and the UMIK1)

use REW room sim to get an idea where best location of the sub should be, Basically need something like this, this is for speaker but principle is the same, how it interacts between the crossover point and over the range If you imagine the subwoofer is the blue line, green is the speakers...

Correct use non boost mode, boosting uses lots more power. You only want to apply cuts Need raw response of the sub and raw response of the speakers, so you can see what it's like. If it changes, and speakers & sub response change then crossover isn't right That massive dip at 60hz could sub...

Don't apply boosts. Test speakers and subwoofer seperately see how the response is then compare with the both on, if each response changes a lot then they're cancelling and boosting each other out) Try moving sub around room. That's a massive room you need more than a tiny subwoofer, a couple...

easy enough, make a new copy of a album, delete album art open paint create a image with "JPEG" lettering save to cover.jpg/folder.jpg open paint create a image with "embedded" lettering save that and embed to the files. Copy to USB stick, play music, look on the screen, whether it shows jpeg...

It is sort of complicated, because the whole audio streamer area isn't just bunging in a CD player switching it on and playing music. And the stock system is far from the best. Wiim home app/database is flawed, not that great, there are other alternatives.

yes I'm aware of that, doing 300,000 tags would take too long, mp3tag doesn't seem to have a cached library when doing rescan it'll take hours. I've selected the option for monitoring the path, it's still slow Ideally foorbar (I use foobar and it creates a database so it's fast) if there is a...
