To quote Yoda, "Size matters not". M4A is overall a better format than mp3. (as is OGG, and WMA) Your best bet for M4P is to simply strip the DRM, and let the slimserver do FLAC transcoding on the fly. Nothing wrong with that. -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37547 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
