If you use Google Music you will upload your music to Googles servers (up to 50k tracks I believe) and they will stream it back to you in mp3 format. No need to take up space on your device. If you want to use FLAC instead and you have an iPhone there is an app and service called VOX that gives you unlimited storage for $5 a month for your music. I think they can even handle hi-res if you are into that https://vox.rocks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ usc95's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59694 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108853 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
