Re: [slim] Spontaneous volume reduction

Just cautiously asking - maybe the problem be outside group player? There were some threads about a spontaneous increase of the volume? I had this on a no-grouped AirPlay speaker (well - it is grouped, but it was not playing through the group)? I am using no upnp player android devices, but

I do not think I think I really need m3u files, but I would like to have the 5 hour concert marked / split into individual tracks so that I can access the individual tracks. I remember, that an m3u accompanying the audio (in my case after extraction as aaa, converted to Flac) would be one

I don’t see, why a Mac mini should not do the job NICELY with an external SSD - they are not to expensive anymore. If you have a MacBook Pro, I assume you are travelling with it- so I would not use the same machine for travelling and for LMS se4rver. The question is, why is the Mac mini having

[slim] Flac and ??? or Apple Lossless (ALAC) and iTunes?

2017-06-20 Thread Rainer Krug
Hi I am aware, that both are lossless so there are no differences in quality and conversion between them is lossless. So no trouble there. But I am thinking, as I am living in the Apple Ecosystem, if a conversion of my music, which is mainly in flac, to ALAC would make sense. Direct import
