After re-reading Pippin's announcement in the first post of this thread I realise that the switch to MP3 transcoding is NOT part of iPeng, and you have to configure it. I guess some sort of bespoke configuration can be set up so that MP3 and AAC files are not needlessly transcoded, but for my needs the bandwidth limiting feature, which ensures that anything over 128k is transcoded to 128k MP3, seems fine. I experimented further and set up a DynDNS account, so that now my iPhone's VPN connection can reference an unchanging address. I can't get over how cool it is to be able to play music from my home server wherever I am. This VPN option also opens up other possibilities which I'm only now starting to explore - iPeng just gave me the nudge that I needed. For example, I have AirVideo also running on my SBS host, so it should be possible to watch my iTunes movies without syncing them to my iPhone. I guess the bandwidth for video will be a problem, but in an airport or hotel with decent wifi it might work OK. -- chill ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85502 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
