Well, I'll take a stab at an explanation, though I'm not certain I completely understand it either.....
Until 8 months ago with the release of the Radio no SB players could natively play AAC streams. To play AAC on the pre-Radio/Touch players required server transcoding. SBS can transcode, MySB.com cannot transcode. So I'm guessing RadioTime was directed by Logitech to not send AAC streams to MySB as this would result in streams not playable on a SB player connected to MySB. So now the question is: what to do and how to implement it. If RadioTime just starts showing AAC streams in it's MySB menu's and searches (which are basically everything within the Internet Radio menu's and sub menu's) this will create many unplayable AAC streams for older SB players. So how do they, Logitech and RadioTime, go about this without creating havoc and confusion for older SB players while not re-engineering the entire MySB > RadioTime interface? I'm sure there is a solution but I think the dev's are a bit distracted with other Radio & Touch bugs right now. :) Maybe an iHeartRadio App? Maybe a "show AAC streams" selection (App?) for those with newer players? Maybe a special RadioTime menu item within the RadioTime App that shows AAC streams? -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79402 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
