I was not complaining I was just stating the reality of the situation. And, yes Apple does have quite a bit of "power" in the marketplace. However, has you pointed out Apple does exist in a capitalist and democratic environment so, thankfully, there is lots of competition and many other choices. For example, although Apple does not recognize FLAC, Squeezeboxes do and so I and many others have chosen the Logitech Squeezebox system as a way to manage and stream our computer based digital music libraries. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97105 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
