I might be wrong about this, so anyone else with a little more experience please chime in, but my understanding is that Squeezebox/SlimServer will not play any music with DRM. I think I read that in the manual (can't quite remember). -- robertlewisca robertlewisca's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8922 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36085 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Quoting robertlewisca ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I might be wrong about this, so anyone else with a little more experience please chime in, but my understanding is that Squeezebox/SlimServer will not play any music with DRM. I think I read that in the manual (can't quite remember). Correct. You cannot play music that has been purchased from the iTunes music store through a Squeezebox. Or any other network music player for that matter, other than an Airport. Apple won't allow this to happen, it is not a Squeezebox issue. You CAN, on the other hand, very easily strip the DRM Apple adds to the files and end up with unencrypted m4a files that will play beautfully through the Squeezebox. You bought 'em, figure out a way to use them in the way you want. dd -- http://www.last.fm/user/ddewey ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I think I read that in the manual (can't quite remember). You are totally correct. The DRM protected AAC files will not play on squeezebox. I have thus far REFUSED to buy any music from the apple store for two reasons: 1. DRM (sure, you can strip it out, but that is trouble) 2. It has been only 128 dps AAC Very recently, they started offering DRM-free music at 256 kps AAC, for 1.19 per song. I bought several cds recently recently, and as expected, these play just fine on the slimserver. -- shadowboxer shadowboxer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8302 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36085 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I had TONS of stuff purchased there. As a last resort I burned those albums to CDR and re-ripped at Apple Lossless. In most cases, the time and materials involved ALMOST equals going out and buying a hard copy of the CD, but I'd already paid Apple for them. BTW, re-encoding at Apple Lossless does NOT improve the quality... it just doesn't make it worse (like going back to AAC would). -- Eric Seaberg Eric Seaberg - San Diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] Eric Seaberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7896 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36085 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
