Hi All, I have a SB Touch which serves music stored on a Vortexbox NAS (running LMS) to my music system and all works well with one exception. As is standard with the VBox, the source files are FLAC and mp3 and the SB Touch routinely access the FLAC files. Connectivity is via an ethernet cable but I do have everything hooked up to a wireless LAN. So far so goodish ...
But having used iTunes in the past, I find the Playlist function which the SB Touch offers to be incredibly clunky in comparison to iTunes. As I am about to replace my laptop, which is still in fundamentally good working order, I was wondering if I could use the laptop as a secondary NAS for selected music files and create Playlists in iTunes which I have on the laptop. Where I'm unsure (and I should have said at the start that I'm computer/streaming illiterate) is 1) whether or not the SB Touch can also interface (wirelessly preferably but not necessarily) with iTunes to stream music from my laptop. And 2) as I understand that iTunes does not support FLAC, if I convert the files to Apple Lossless will the SB Touch play those files? Finally 3) how does the SB Touch find my laptop (it finds the VBox automatically but I cannot see how to point it at my laptop. Am I on a wild goose chase or is what I would like to do technically feasible? If the latter, any help to get me to where I want to be would be hugely appreciated. Many thanks in advance, John ------------------------------------------------------------------------ xdb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62669 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102735 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
