Hmmm. Several different options. 1) I would consider just using an Apple TV. MP3 issues don't come up, since you're within the iTunes universe. Disadvantage: not all music available at all times, just a subset. Also need to have a tv attached to use it. Advantage: does TV too, might be useful and fun. Hard drive (i.e. large buffer) means wireless throughput not as much of an issue (I had off and on issues until I wired my squeezebox, which sort of obviates the use of wireless). Much easier. Etc. Right now, I would probably bow to ease of use and just pay for the appletv. Don't know how the song counting works, though.
2) If squeezebox, I'd consider using an all-mac solution. Mini as server instead of XP box. (I need the XP box for other stuff, and this was before boot camp, so unfortunately overtaken by progress). (Some would say Linux, I don't have any ability to comment on this in terms of complexity etc) 3) Rip everything in AAC or apple lossless. And hope. Wouldn't solve my language issues. Sounds like too time-consuming in your case. Same level of difficulty: fiddle with MP3 tags. Massive time suck, although others seem to have had more success with this than me, I probably am doing something wrong. Running off XP as primary iTunes box for me would not have worked, but that's a personal workflow issue. -- gsalton ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gsalton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34435 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
