It may seem like "a lot of work" (it isn't really as long as you can follow along step-by-step: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?EACBeginners ) but almost all of that is just for getting the uncompressed WAV tracks. Compression is the easy part.
BTW the term "full strength" seems to imply compressed lossless is somehow inferior. It's not, any more than a zipped Word document is inferior to the original Word document. Lossless is lossless - it decompresses bit-for-bit identical to the original. The FLAC developer has actually gone to great pains to ensure that it is bit-perfect and the test suite is downloadable for anyone to try. If you can save 50% of the storage space and wireless bandwidth without any loss of sound quality, and it only takes 5 minutes of additional setup, why not do it? :-) -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30737 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
