I'm sorry to hear that it has taken some of you so many years to realize that you can remote control iTunes with your phone.
There is a program called Salling Clicker. With it you can control iTunes, Windows Media Player and more. It works with OS X and with Windows. It works on just about any phone with a few exceptions. Many smartphones have wifi, otherwise you can use bluetooth. iTunes can stream to an Airport Express. Or... you can use Airfoil and stream from any application to your Airport Express (or to another computer). I can get bit perfect from any app on OS X but I have had trouble getting bit perfect on Windows except with iTunes. iTunes users don't really need FLAC since they have ALAC. Just about every ipod out there can handle ALAC. You can also convert FLAC to ALAC. IPOD classic has up to 160GB storage. It also has line out. It's a good way to have a backup of all your music. The quality of the DAC on the airport express isn't the best out there but all you audiophiles can use the optical out into your own DACs. Squeezebox allows you to stream music without interacting with the computer. It's a totally different concept than remote controlling your computer to playback audio onto a remote audio device. Both methods have their uses and purposes. -- Random Access ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Random Access's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18743 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49790 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
