I've spent/am spending a -lot -of time ripping and tagging my discs (again!) to get them exactly right, I'm going bit-perfect (dBpoweramp) and Lossless (ALAC as I use AppleTV too). Not interested in tagging things like liner notes, lyrics, etc - just the basics. However, once it's done correctly, it's done and I won't tinker with it - I bought the SB3 to listen to it! I've added a few little bits here and there, like LazySearch and other plugins, I'm using the cracking ACC app from SilverRS8, but generally I want to do the fiddling once and that's it. I personally don't think that the "average Joe" would ever really get a Squeezebox 3. -Maybe -a duet. My thinking being that, based on my experience of friends/work colleagues, most music is downloaded from torrents. So the tagging is awful/non-existent - but everyone accepts that's just how it is. They get used to finding the latest album by Supergrass because they know it's under "Unknown Artist", about 5 or 6 entires down the list. To me that's weird, but I see it happen all the time. On something like the SB3, that's so dependant on tags (and rightly so IMHO), that's really not going to work. On itunes on your laptop it kinda is (albeit it would drive me insane!) Good thread, this. Always going to be skewed, of course, given that it's in this forum, but useful nonetheless! -- moley6knipe 2 x SqueezeBox 3 | 1 x SqueezeCenter 7 | 1 x Win XP Pro SP2 | 1 x Happy listener :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ moley6knipe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10014 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48780 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
