Will you be happy if iTunes could just play back your flac files, or would u want it to edit tags, burn cds, etc, etc? If its the earlier, one option is to run the Firefly (mt-daapd) server side by side with slimserver. You can set firefly to transcode your flacs to wavs in realtime (so no loss and additionally iTunes catches all the tag info). Firefly server shows up as a shared iTunes library, and you should be able to send stuff to your Airport Express. This way your iTunes/Airport Express and Slimserver/Squeezebox setups can happily exist side by side. -- Nikhil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nikhil's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=993 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31879 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
