> is a GREAT choice in theory, but the fact is the major players (iTunes, > WMP) don't support it iTunes is the only major player I'm aware of that won't play flac. There are plugins for WMP, and Winamp/Foobar/etc all play it out of the box. Blame Apple for not supporting it and not allowing plugins to add support. The problem here is proprietary formats, but what baffles me is how people blame Slim for supporting the open ones. Apple want to tie you into iTunes/AAC, Microsoft want to tie you into WMP/WMA, Slim just want you to be able to listen to your music. As soon as these companies start (a) licensing their formats so other people can play them or (b) supporting the open standards - then we'll all be happy. Until then, complain to them. -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19155 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
