[slim] Best alternative to iTunes
I feel like the new boy at AA who says My name is TobesEtc I am an alcoholic... but here goes: I've finally got fed up with Apple. iTunes has been a pain in the butt for as long as I remember. I've now lost my iPod Touch (which I used in the car) and have replaced it with my new phone. That's now integrated into the car. I've got Duets all over the house (ok, I've got three). I'm thinking that maybe I should delete all my Apple Lossless files and re-rip them. If I'm going to do that I might as well start right from stratch. Should I use Windows Media Player? Should I try something else? What format should I go to? Advice please. -- tobesetc tobesetc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23041 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88096 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Best alternative to iTunes
You don't need to rerip anything, that is the main benefit of lossless files. Go and buy a copy of http://www.dbpoweramp.com/ That will make transcoding the Apple lossless files to FLAC for you. And it is also the best Windows ripper for ripping future CDs. -- andynormancx Yes, it will. Yes, all of them. Yes, SoftSqueeze as well. What ?

Re: [slim] Best alternative to iTunes
+1 on dbpoweramp I prefer FLAC as the format. In regards of players there are many alternatives: - MusicBee - MediaMonkey - Foobar2000 - Winamp - ... and since you have SBS running there is also Squeezeplay -- slate Main: Receiver (Audiocom) - Beresford Caiman+ (Gatorized) - Carver A-500x - BW 704 Office: Receiver - Luxman L-210 - Stax SR84 Pro/Superlux HD668B Server: Zotac IONITX-A, 4 GB, 1 TB WD EADS, Win7 w. 7.6 (SQLite w.

+1 on dbpoweramp Consider MediaMonkey as it syncs to quite a few mobile phones including Android devices. -- dsdreamer -- Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you... dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88096 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
