My 2 cents on this: You should definitely use a lossles format : FLAC, WAV or AIFF. The latter is afaik a "proprietary format", i.e. you can risk that some of the tools available are not able to handle it. FLAC and WAV are by far the most common one's. When we have 1TB MP3-players, they should perhaps be called FLAC-players in stead ?
Personally I use WAV format - and live with that. As mentioned, FLAC will give you possibilities for update of album-art and various tags. The tagging is mostly a blessing, what I can understand, but it may cause trouble for some.... You should plan your library structure and your tags. Think that old forum threads here will help you. Regarding streaming: I have a setup using an "old" XP-notebook, sending to access point, and the from there to SB3 (passsing the SB3 along the way). Haven't had any problems with that. Notebook network is about 4% utilized, on average. (G-mode like). Any problems should come from CPU-load (other applications than SC), or interference from other wi-fi. -- wavfan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wavfan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32277 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74046 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
