That is not so obvious with these all-in-one boxes.
you mean like vortexbox? As the owner and user of two vortexbox appliances, I agree. Nothing against the automatic vb approach (and I played with it just to see how it works, etc.). But for my ripping, I use dbpa to rip to FLAC (I'm particularly fond of ACCURATERIP, which VB doesn't have), then I make sure my tags and art is exactly what I want, then I use dbpa to create mp3 mirror (for my iphone/ipods). Then I move all this stuff onto the Vortexbox Appliances from my windows machine (over my network). Yes, a few steps and not "automatic" but it is an easy work flow and I know that what I end up with is exactly what I really want.... -- garym Location 1: Vortexbox Appliance 6TB (1.10) > SbS 7.6.2 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) Location 2: Win7(64) laptop > LMS 7.7.1 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio and laptop) Office: Win7(64) > LMS 7.7.1 > SqueezePlay Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controllers: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.7 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91090
