Not so much/Yes But if it came bundled you don't have to gradually find out whats missing :) At the moment I'm only lacking WMA and WMAL transcoding on my Linux box I think ? (it might be more ,but I have not stumbled there yet ) And some plugins want's their own transcoders as the provided ones are not enough ? I know that lame is the "best" regarding mp3 but due to licensing it can never be included, forcing everyone to separately install lame on their system , why not include another mp3 encoder (licensed) in the bundle. The oddballs requring "high end" mp3 can fix that themselves . I really don't care for ultimate mp3 fidelity so I would have been happy saving those 10 minutes finding out where to get lame for my platform . I'm not against options and configure stuff to my own liking ,but stuff that could be made simpler should be . And of-course on CPU underpowered platforms it's a no go . Getting at it from another angle would be improving the native decoders on Touch it has problems with 24/96 aiff and some 24/96 alac I don't know about 24/96 WMAL ? . There are odd exceptions in the native decoders sometimes ? it should in total work so well that the file types settings page could go away or be a hidden option (like a plug in you could activate ) . To be fair it is much better now and someone installing on a bog standard pc never have to fudge with this unless having some special needs like ingus . LMS should configure agaisnt the installed platform by itself . I think this would make some stuff easier for new users ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94987 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
