I'm no fan of iTunes, but it sounds like you really don't understand what is happening here.
The volume control at the top of the iTunes window will have no effect on the tags added to your files to indicate any volume levelling. The bit rate lowering also has nothing to do with iTunes. That it purely down to Squeezebox Server converting the audio to FLAC before streaming it to the player. This is a perfectly sensible thing to do (to reduce network usage) and the fact that it reports a "lowered bitrate" doesn't mean you have lost anything, FLAC is completely lossless, the same data will arrive at your player as was read from your CD with iTunes. I'd agree that dbPowerAmp is much better than iTunes at ripping, but you are trying to blame iTunes for things that have nothing to do with it. -- andynormancx Yes, it will. Yes, all of them. Yes, SoftSqueeze as well. What ? I SAID ALL OF THEM ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ andynormancx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17417 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79308 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
