Echo the above point. I don't have an iPod but do have lots of MP3's. Since getting the Transporter I have re-ripped all CD's to FLAC (about 7000 files or so). So I have MP3s and FLACs of the same CD. I also have a lot of MP3s with no corresponding FLAC. If I could mix in same library but have Slimserver automatically select the FLAC when there is a choice, that would be great. Yes, I've tried Duplicate MP3 Finder & that allows duplicate MP3s and FLACs to be found, but as Gary mentions, gets you into the "faffing around" zone. A put-off for folks that don't like 'faffing around' with databases etc.. The web interface is too geeky. Ok for me, but not for my wife (who also likes music). Also my computer is in another room, so selecting there when sound system is elsewhere is a pain. This should be an easy fix/addon I would have thought & would improve the marketability no end. Maybe been mentioned before, but would be nice to have a headphone version. ie minaturised battery powered SB3 embedded in a headphone.
