While true - it would mean the Red Hat/Fedora would be shipping a product for which they do not ship the capability for users to use, the users would have to encode their mp3's elsewhere - and I think you can understand why they would not want to do that. The software they ship rips to ogg. That means the users would be required to broadcast as lossless - or install third party software to transcode their ogg to mp3 for the streaming. -- http://mpeters.us/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
