First, we are not here to discuss why people buy from iTunes store, are we? At least this was not my intent when I opened this thread. People buy from there for a reason. It's convinient, especially if you are an iTunes user anyway. If it's wrong or right is not the subject of this thread, so let's put this discussion elsewhere.
"Most SB owners don't buy from iTunes" is just another assumption. No way to prove that, thus unnecessary to further discuss. All I want here is discuss the technical possibility - can it be done, yes or no. I don't think you have to have iTunes running in the background all the time. At least that's not the case with Songbird. It just uses the quicktime components that are installed on the system anyways. So instead of SC calling mov123 or faad to decode a file, have it call quicktime. What's the big deal? And if you can (obviously Songbird can, so I don't see why SC could not) decode the files using quicktime and at the same time get pass the DRM, great. Why not do it? Because some people have political/moral objections? I think those SB owners who buy from iTunes store would really really welcome it if SC was able to stream those protected files. I for one would welcome it. -- funkahdafi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ funkahdafi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5608 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53460 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
