I should emphasise that I use iTunes on Macs. I can accept that it is a whole different experience on a PC (I have used it at work but not in any depth). My current library size might be modest by current standards (9835 songs, 231.50 GB) but I cannot remember a single instability issues over the last 3 years. For new downloads or rips I personally find it easier to revise tags to my own requirements using iTunes. Anyway, the point of this is to propose stable, preferred solutions. Mac / OS X / iTunes / Apple TV or Airport Express is, in my particular experience, stable and easy to use but it is not a preferred solution because it is not Squeeze-product based. So what do you recommend instead? What works as a complete setup? -- dBerriff iMac/iTunes, Apple TV, AVI ADM9.1 active speakers, Boom ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dBerriff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12247 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67637 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
