I went back into iTunes today to switch its default CD import format to
FLAC - and of course it doesn't support importing into this format.
What are my options - stop using iTunes? Or will one of the other
iTunes-supported lossless formats work? (What are they - only AIFF?
Will this work?) If
Trying to do transcoding (particularly double transcoding) on a NAS unit

John, is there any way you can connect the MINI via Ethernet instead of
Wireless? I think that'll make all the difference. There's a LOT of
headroom required for lossless files, and depending on the 802.11x
format you're using, you could be pushing the limit! I have my MINI
running wired into
Eric - I believe you are correct in that the problem lies in the WiFi
connection between the Mac and the router. The problems has gone away,
at least for now, and I can now once again play lossless files. I am
watching the Network monitor as I play lossless files, and can
