You know, I hear a lot of this, but there are far more devices out there using ALAC to stream music around than -anything- else. Every iTunes install, every Airport Express, Apple TV, and more and more hardware from third parties too. Pioneer, Bower and Wilkens, Denon, Linn, AS400, etc. ALAC support not only puts a product into the largest and (potentially) most profitable environment around, it also forces Apple to improve seriously on the specs. Being open now, it won't be long before hi-res ALACs are streaming around the place. Logitech has already proven it can be done and done well. Now what happens when 30 million devices need to be upgraded to stream 24/96 or better? We live in really interesting times. :) -Paul -- paul.raulerson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ paul.raulerson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=50346 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91185 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
