Not at all. You still have to _get_ all that data to the player. And you still have to be able to generate some audible rendition of it as you scan through the compressed stream. And you still have several of the other issues I originally mentioned, such as supporting the myriad of formats. So only if you had unlimited RAM, CPU, and bandwidth, and only one format to support would it be "trivial". And as long as you're having all that, why not a pony too? :) Anyway if you could only change one of those things, I'd say the best one would be the bandwidth. If you're guaranteed the throughput, low latency, and zero packet loss of 100Mbps ethernet (as in the DVR example) then the problem becomes a LOT more manageable. More RAM is nice but certainly wouldn't solve the problem per se. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36446 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
