thank you for your advices, I'm still just analysing this issue so it's a good thing people point out possible problems at an early stage. that gapless problem with alac is quite disturbing... it may be the only reason I need to ditch itunes. bear in mind I need gapless only when playing through the squeezebox duet. are you sure this doesn't work? :S Yes, I am a PC user. But, on the long run I might consider a mac for several reasons. would I get gapless from alac then? thanks again -- NeoVibe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NeoVibe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15030 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42895 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
