As far as I know, too, it does, and as a fellow Mac-head, I use iTunes and have problems with dropouts only when 't' folk next door are using their cordless phone or their microwave, so that doesn't sound likely to me. But I do get them (I think, although it's a while since I had one) with ALAC, and certainly with AAC. I suspect it is because my eMac, burdened as it is with other tasks and hamstrung by limited memory and processing power (rather like its owner) can't cope smoothly with the transcoding. Might that be the problem? I'd be interested to know why you choose to rip to AAC, with all its Slimserver disadvantages (no fast forward/rewind and transcoding being the ones that spring to mind) rather than to a format that "just works" without needing transcoding, which in our case would be AIFF. In other words, I wouldn't start from here, if I were you......but as I'm not, I'd like to understand your reasoning. It may well be better than mine.
