I've seen threads on similar issues before, and my current ideas are based on these. But the solution I have is _very_ brute force and kludgey, so I thought I'd see what others do.
I've been doing everything in apple lossless using itunes. Using inguz eq (which I love), I get the clicking at the beginning of tracks that others have noted with sb/slimserver in general. So I've decided to transcode all of my music to flac, and maintain a separate tree of mp3s of all of this music for my ipod. I'm transcoding now using dbpoweramp: the only yuckiness of this is that my album art tags are lost in the process, so I'll have to redo them. My understanding of the way others do this is that they use EAC to burn new music, and something like dbpoweramp to do the transcoding, with something like foobar2000 to manage things subsequently. This will clearly work, but seems inelegant to me. Is there some other application that will combine the burning/tagging/tree management, a la itunes? Also, what is the best way to manage two parallel trees? Finally, is there a way to get EAC to create the same sort of directory structure that itunes does? I couldn't seem to get it to do this. Or is this something I can get foobar to do? Thanks for any help. -- totoro squeezebox 3 -> mccormack dna .5 -> audio physic tempo 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ totoro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30888 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
