Is that correct?
That is correct. andynormancx;370841 Wrote: > The reason that the file format as an issue is because the Touch/iPhone > already has support built in for playing back aac and mp3 files.

Yes. That's true. When we do local playback on the iPhone, FLAC (and ALAC) would definitely be things to support. Although it's not yet completely sorted out, how this should happen. I'm not 100% convinced that the audio quality of the iPod is good enough to make a difference vs. transcoded streams, but we'll find out. -- pippin --- see iPeng at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55435 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
