I play music from my PC to my hifi via a DAC. I've got a very good hifi (Pathos amp etc) that's in the same room as my desktop. I've got a laptop that I would use if I wanted to move my desktop to another room. I rate iTunes very highly as software, its only serious flaw being a lack of a plugin API (ergo, you can;t play native flac in iTunes). Maybe my real issue is that I'd be happy to keep all my music in iTunes except that right now its flac. The Slim server iTunes itegration works pretty well. Hmm. I will think about a migration from flac to aiff and use iTunes ot manage music and slim to serve it. -- meltsheep ------------------------------------------------------------------------ meltsheep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8203 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31879 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
