The music ripped to i-tunes is in wav file format. Typical song file size is 50MB. Sample rates are 44.1khz and 16 bit size. So as far as I am able to figuire out the music in i-tunes is uncompressed. Also all volume, and equilizer settings are not used. And 24 bit mord length is selected. I went through the top tab that starts for The Slimserver program only allows for the selection of "use i-tunes or do not use i-tunes. So how can I be sure that the slimserver program is properly configuired. I went through the tab that starts with server settings, and checked i-tunes and performance tabs. IS thre a pathway I am missing?
