The combination of dbPowerAmp and MediaMonkey has worked great to free myself from iTunes and to live happily with both an iPod and a Logitech Touch.
I had been using Apple Lossless files on the Touch, but experienced annoying abrupt track jumps on the Touch, using its internal tinysb server. I used dbPowerAmp to transcode my library from Apple Lossless to FLAC (took about an hour on my 4-cpu machine). Then I used MediaMonkey (gold version) to wipe my iPod Classic clean and move the files onto the iPod. It left my mp3 tracks as is, and transcoded the FLAC files on the fly down to 256. I now have just a single version of my music on my computer, which I mirror onto my USB HDD that is connected to the Touch, and all the files on my iPod are now in mp3 format. Very slick. I also like knowing that I can control my music transparently on Media Monkey, without the mysterious database behavior of iTunes. Thanks for your help. -- trinkner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ trinkner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40974 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83910 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
