After going through a similar mental exercise I ended up keeping my library in AIFF. The down side of Apple Lossless is that you can't fast forward/rewind it, nor can you with any of the other transcoded formats. AIFF on the other hand is supported natively, so you can FFWD/REW (at least as well as FFWD/REW works at all on a Squeezebox, which in my experience is only so-so).
I'd be happy if either Apple decided to support FLAC, or someone fixed Slimserver to allows FFWD/REW on transcoded formats (which would appear to be as simple as transcoding to a temp file instead of a pipe, but maybe there's some reason not to do that which isn't obvious to me). Until then, well, disk is cheap. -- jgs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jgs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7538 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34122 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
