So here's my issue: I store (mostly) FLAC files on a linux 'server' which drives SC and my devices (2x SB3, 1 Boom).
I use an iPod Touch for everything it does, including iPeng. I need an expedient way to transcode and sync my .flac collection to the touch. The server is headless and Linux, so I want to try and do this over the network on a separate PC. I used to use the same PC for serving flacs. In that case, I just created a second folder called 'mp3' and linked itunes to that. It meant ripping everything twice. (Note before I had the iPod, MediaMonkey transcode on the fly was a brilliant option for my samsung mp4 player but that won't work with iPod touch) The best I can think of is either: a) having 2 folders - 1 of flac and 1 of mp3 on the server, and connecting itunes from a second PC to the mp3 folder, and synching like that. However, transcoding flacs on a headless server is pain in the donkey. b) transcoding flacs from the server onto a PC, but I want to avoid this as I want the PC to be devoid of all media files (for my own reasons). I mustn't be alone here. What do you do? Is there some s/w I don't know about to sort this out? -- Dingostrategy Lounge: SB3 + Genelec 6010A | Kitchen: SB3 + $80 bookshelf stereo.
