Doesn't Windows just put it in the folder with the music as Folder.jpg? Never trusted WMP to rip, but thats what Windows Explorer shows as icons. > > Also, I notice that some of my .wav files when played through the duet, > the More Info display within the controller states: > Bit rate 1411 kbps CBR (converted to 705.6kbps ABR) > > Have I lost sound quality? Nope. SC is smart: if it sees wav, it will, by default, transcode to FLAC to use less bandwith (which may be crucial on wireless). FLAC is lossless (like ZIP: if ZIP was lossy, every spreadsheet would break when mailed... a single bit difference and everything from that point on is lost) so the quality is exactly the same. You may want to encode your music as FLAC instead of WAV: this will allow tagging (WAVs have no real tags, just some hackery that may or may not work) instead of trying to guess things from directory paths. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58199 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
