I'm not sure whether I have understood this correctly, but this would be iPeng connecting to Squeezecenter, pulling down/streaming the actual FLAC file and decoding it on the iPod, rather than doing transcoding on the server? If it is the first would Apple allow a FLAC decoder in an app? I would have thought if they did there would be a large number of FLAC/Ogg/other players like this by now (maybe there are?). I would have thought Apple would turn this down for the same reason that it turned down podcaster etc claiming that it duplicates functionality on the ipod (well actually just to protect their monopoly, but you know where I'm coming from). -- robroe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ robroe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14248 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55435 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
