Are not flac and wav the same quality, the only difference being the former is compressed? In any case, I'm pretty sure that .wav would be better than .mp3 on any day.

Yes, I have full meta data - including album art - in the car dash, from both bluetooth and USB port. The car also supports Spotify via Bluetooth but I think that's only if an Android or iPhone is in use. The problem with a phone is storage capacity. Right now, my FLAC collection is 170GB and growing. The other issue is that I don't know if I use BT for the Pi will disable the hands-free calling in the car since I think only one phone can be paired at a time. Also, it's been suggested that Bluetooth is not great for audio, unless it supports a certain protocol which I don't know if I have, so there's some question about whether there are really any gains to be had this way. One solution might be to buy a USB WiFi dongle and add it to the Pi, disable the onboard WiFi in favor of Bluetooth, and see if that will work. Let me RTFM for the car again and see what I can figure out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hammerhead's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67979 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108853 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
