Hi John - hope you are still following this thread after being 'helped' by the FLAC community (they does love their flac they does!) anyway I think what you wanted to do was use WAV and iTunes to manage your library, which is fine and means you can play the stuff on your PC or laptop without Slimserver and of course Slimserver does a great job of integrating with your iTunes library when you want to stream to your Squeezebox. The answer is to simply use iTuneEncode as an external encoder for EAC - it will transfer the files into iTunes and tell iTunes the tags to put in it's database and bob is your whatsit :-) I am myself wondering whether it would be better to use a 'tag in file' format instead of WAV - as if iTunes goes belly up, you will have lost at least your genre and year tags (unless you make them part of the folder structure) - you can always transcode later anyway! :-) PS If you have any trouble finding it or setting the parameters drop me a PM and I can send you pics of my setup.
