The Squeezebox doesnt run Windows or MacOS. There is no Quicktime binary for the Ubicom IP3K CPU. It is a little more complex than "just go download quicktime!" You would have to download Quicktime for Windows or MacOS, and then use the Quicktime API to act as a filter to decode the file, and then hijack the audio output and redirect it to a squeezebox. It would only work on MacOS and Windows servers. IANAL and have no clue how legal that would be, or if it would be construed as circumventing DRM, which, again, is illegal in the US. As for license costs: you are wrong. Those are for quicktime, not Fairplay. And certainly not for Fairplay on a 3rd party device. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairPlay If Fairplay was licensable, DVD-Jon would not be trying to sell a Fairplay encoder. http://gigaom.com/2006/10/02/dvd-jon-fairplays-apple/ -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29626 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
