What am I missing? Yes in theory ALAC could be decoded in the SB3, but there are several issues to that. Memory is limited in the SB3, with MP3, FLAC, Ogg and WMA (lossy) already in there there probably isn't enough space for anything else (I seem to remember reading that Ogg was the last to go in and it was a tight fit). There is also the question of licensing. I don't know the ins and outs of the ALAC format, but there would probably be legal issues if it was done in the SB3. -- funkstar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45563 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
