Slimserver is unable to play napster downloads due to drm and I have no idea if there's an intention to support such playback. Have you considered switching to Rhapsody, which is supported? Regarding converting the Napster downloads: muvaudio can convert your downloads to flac, so you might try that (though the types of audio artifacts you describe sound like they come from the somewhat unconventional conversion process they use to skirt DRM restrictions and will likely still occur when converting to flac). The only way to get files that the SB can play without losing any quality from your napster downloads is to burn the napster songs to CD, then rerip the cd to a lossless format (like flac). If you rerip back to mp3 you'll lose quality. -- azinck3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34834 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
