I have just upgraded to iTunes 7 - love the album art scrolling view, not only that but scrolling through my album covers on screen makes me realise just how many great albums I haven't listened to in ages (years even!).
So now I stop work and cease listening to my music on my crappy PC speakers and go into my living room and fire up SB3 and think - amazing sound...but am I really limited to that little display with the basic info on it! Why can't I see my album cover when it is playing, why can't I click and access info on the artist, sample their latest album maybe, see similar artists and have my horizons stretched...ahh...of course for that I need to go back to the PC and fire-up iTunes (or something similar of course)! So I had a thought (which is where it usually goes all wrong!:-)- what about if I utilise my notebook, dislodge the Squeezebox from atop my hi-fi rack and connect the notebook via same network to my collection of music on my server (and hence out into the Internet) and then...to my hi-fi...but this is where it all starts to falls down or so I am given to believe. It seems that the output from your average soundcard is, er, not exactly bit perfect. So my question is guys and gals - just how does the SB3 manage to sound so good and how does it grab data from the PC in a different way to a soundcard? Plus - is there a way of connecting your PC straight to your hi-fi (as in a Media PC for example or just playing from say iTunes) but still get that audiophile sound quality the SB3 manages - would be fascinated to gain any insight and knowledge into this as it seems an obvious step for someone who want to integrate their love of music with the wonderful things technology and the internet can offer now :-) .. -- Timbo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=933 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28409 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
