Hi this Brian
Good idea, it will be interesting to see how the latest Yamaha surround-sound
receiver I plan to buy next year goes, it has manual setting as far as I'm
aware but by default you use a microphone.
For example you sit in your favourite armchair once you've set the amp up and
turn it on, the amp

Thanks a lot.

FLAC is a lossless format but nothing whatever to do with Apple, FLAC stands
for Free Lossless Audio Coding, not exactly sure about the last word so I'm
sure someone will correct me on that point.

Apple lossless is ALAC. I've never seen anything encoded with it however.

How good are these Yamaha systems anyways Dain? I don't know if you want to
call me on Skype to talk abiout them or E-mail me off list, but I've never
heard anything from these guys, so I want to know how good they are. How
theatrical they are. You see originally I wanted to use a Bose system, but
I never knew who made apple flac, so misunderstood the message, thanks for
the knowledge.

Dain,
Did your JamBox come with the Live Audio update installed? The one I
ordered from AMAZON.COM didn't. The first thing I tried after starting
music on my iPod Touch was to hold both volume buttons down to start Live
Audio Mode, but nothing happened.
I then went to the web site and
For what they are they're not too bad, the one I'm buying is one of the Pro
series they make but be warned! you pay! and in this case you don't pay too
much, you should be able to get the one I'm referring to for under $1,000.00
and for a surround-sound receiver with its specs, works out quite
Whilst they're different compression methods FLAC and Apple Lossless pretty
much amount to the same thing when used, that is to say that when music is
compressed using either of these encoding methods, the end result is lossless.
AAC/AAC+ is not lossless compression nor is it Apple Lossless
Who told you to hold both volume controls down? I've never heard of this before.
I'm not saying your wrong.
Up till now I've controlled my iPod from the unit itself.

Okay, here's the situation.
The Live audio update Robert discusses in his podcast is not a critical
firmware update, that is to say Jambox will function quite nicely with or
without it.

I'm trying to get an idea of size for myself. Would this be something you

I wouldn't listen to music on this but for the size for something like
