I did the whole flac2mp3 trick, even wrote my own for fun. However the part of NEVER touching the mp3 is the tough one. I like to rate my files and usually do it through the iPod because that is where a great deal of my music listening time is done nowadays (long commute). I like the mp3fs deal and currently my slimserver and music reside on a linux box so that is not an issue. However it probably does not handle cover art that is in the same directory, so I would have to maintain cover art seperately within iTunes. Guess I am getting old and lazy. Maybe MC jriver will fix the biggest issues I have with them and I can just continue with that solution. Anyone have personal experience with any other software that meets these needs (windows, linux or even Mac)?: 1. Sync with ipod classic or will be soon (sync cover art, play stats, and ratings) 2. Transcodes on-the-fly flac to mp3 format for sync 3. Dynamic Playlist ability, big plus if Squeezebox can use the playlists. 4. Podcast fetch ability (optional) 5. Video support that can sync with iPod -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38573 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
