Yep, I use itunes for synching my ipods/iphones and like it just fine as a music management tool in many ways. Easy to search, etc. (if only the web interface to SbS was half as easy to use in terms of showing libraries, sorting, creating smart playlists, etc.... Yes, I use dynamic playlists, custom browse, etc. etc., but none of this is as simple as the basic itunes model). Unfortunately, itunes doesn't do secure rips and/or have AccurateRip access. And I much prefer FLAC files for use on all my SqueezeBoxes. I have no need for lossless on my IPOD, and the SB environment seems to work much better with FLAC files as compared with Apple Lossless. -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73445 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
