Hi, I've been using the squeezebox (I & II) without a problem, the server (v6.1) running on Linux and I use the Linux machine to run the server and store the music files. Absolutely one of the best toys I've ever bought.
After a lot of thought and delay between XM and an ipod I decided the ipod would be better for me. I know nothing about itunes and don't plan to buy music online, but I do want to use the podcasts. My entire music collection is in flac. I've done a lot of reading on this forum but I'm still lost. What type of integration is possible between the slimserver software, itunes and flac encoded files? It looks like I need to transcode to mp3, I'm in the process of doing it now, and point itunes to the mp3 files and keep the slimserver pointed to the flac files. Basically I'd be looking at keeping two separate music folders, one mp3 and one flac without sharing anything between the two. Is that correct? What about podcasts, how can I listen to those on my squeezebox? Is there anything that I'm missing about integrating slimserver and itunes? Would I have gained anything if I went with Apple Loosless over flac; doubt I would since I wanted a open codec. Thanks.
