>From personal experience (I kept a PC around for a while solely for EAC), iTunes is fine as a ripper. You can use Max on OS X, but when you get down to it a perfect reproduction of a scratch is a scratch and I've had better luck in either depending on damage type. Plus the hardware is likely at least as important as the software. ;)
I run my system off a MacBook also. As long as you have your NAS mounted and SqueezeCenter running it shouldn't revert. Also check your Use iTunes setting. I point directly to my drive path instead of using the iTunes option in SC so that may be part of it. And iTunes can revert if you launch prior to mounting your drive. On a side note, I have a limited collection on my laptops drive and full on NAS. SqeezeCenter always points to the later, but I can play music from the former when out and about. Also you can have multiple libraries within iTunes, I find the app Libra worth it to switch back and fourth. -- blessingx '★' (http://www.last.fm/user/blessingx/) -'this american life' (http://thislife.org/), 'take-away shows' (http://www.blogotheque.net/spip.php?page=cae_all&lang=en), 'jazz profiles' (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=10208861), 'streaming soundtracks' (http://www.streamingsoundtracks.com/)- macbook ))) ⊗ squeezebox 3 → assemblage dac1 → rudistor nxØ2 sistema → at w1ØØØ / etys er4p/s ⊗ squeezebox 3 → parasound 11ØØ hd #1 → stax srm-ØØ7t → stax lambda sig / lambda pro ⊗ squeezebox 3 → parasound 11ØØ hd #2 → single power extreme platinum → senn hd58Ø x2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ blessingx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11754 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52734
