I'm hoping this is the right forum for this question. If not, please let me know and I'll repost elsewhere.
So, here goes... I've got a Transporter and Ready-NAS NV+ that I've been happily ripping my CDs to in flac format. I've been enjoying my setup (played through an NHT Xd amp/active speaker setup) since the beginning of this year. I've also got a first gen Dell Digital DJ mp3 player that works just fine. Its 20GB big and has a smorgasborg of mp3 files from a variety of sources (musicmatch, kazaa, etc - all encoded with suspect bit rates, varying quality, some DRM'd and some not). Most if not all of those mp3s have been re-ripped from the original CDs into flac onto my Ready-NAS. Now its time to clear off the smorgasborg of mp3s on my Dell Digital DJ and re-encode them from flac to mp3 with a consistent bitrate (320kbps) and _NO_ DRM. To do this, I'm using Redchair Software's very user friendly Deubox Explorer (formerly Dudebox Explorer) running on Windows XP. I can point Deubox across the net to specific songs, artists or albums on my Ready-NAS box and transfer/encode them to mp3 on my DJ which is connected to the XP box via USB. To be honest with you, I was very pleasantly surprised at just how easy this was to set up and do. The trouble comes when I want to grab just a playlist worth of songs from the Ready-NAS NV+. Deubox doesn't seem to understand Slimserver's playlist format. Its stored as an *.m3u file just like the Dell's playlists, but when you open them, there are obvious differences. I guess this is a longshot, but a) has anyone else gone down this path or b) does anyone have any insight into how to pull songs from the Ready-NAS by playlist? Thanks for any help. -- Ken Rahaim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ken Rahaim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9526 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39134 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
