FLAC has clear advantages as a solution: 1. Decent compression level to help streaming bandwidth 2. Compression is LOSLESS 3. Native support in SB players 4. Supports full range of tags (unlike WAV) 5. Free and not tied to proprietary company Disadvantage for your plan is the iTunes does not rip to FLAC. However several other well designed and supported prograns do such as EAC and DbPoweramp. Many, many people here on the forum use FLAC so support for any quesitons is plentiful. davep -- davep ------------------------------------------------------------------------ davep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74046 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
