Re: [slim] Current performance of ALAC?

I switched over to Mac at the beginning of the year, and am also using XLD for ripping. I miss dbpoweramp, but XLD at least gets the job done. Plus, it will rip to FLAC, too. 2-SB3s, 1-Duet, 1-Touch...and an iPeng convert.

If you really consider switching your ripping over to the Mac i suggest using XLD ripper converting to ALAC. Its ripping security should be superior to itunes. It also creates neat logs comparable or even more detailed as the ones in EAC and dbpoweramp. Transporter (modded) -> RG142 -> Avantgar

Transcoding ALAC to FLAC doesn't require an awful lot of processing power, even a NAS should have no problem with that. The limitation is usually that you need an ALAC decoder and some NAS don't have that. Under Windows this probably means you'll need to have iTunes/QuickTime installed. --- lea

I am using an Atom powered Win 7 nettop to host my LMS. I have been ripping to FLAC for years but would now like to use ALAC since I have just bought a Mac and Itunes is so dead simple to rip and tag with on the Mac. I have two radios, a classic, a boom and pogoplug running squeezelite in my Squ
