Quite agree, but this is where the whole industry has muddied the waters over connectivity with so many different standards, 'protection' systems, even cables for heaven's sake. It's caused immense problems for me not just with this issue but even trying to listen to audio from HD TV (without HDMI). So, what I've found so far; 1) Car makers with Ipod connectors usually mean the car stereo can control the Ipod (or whatever). So no need to fiddle with a separate box whilst driving - good! 2) Media Monkey on the fly conversion (FLAC to AAC perhaps) when transferring files from desktop to Ipod sounds a brilliant solution - but not available for Mac OS. Wonder if that will happen or whether Songbird will produce such a utility (several users have asked on their development suggestions log). 3) Not sure whether Ipods etc support 24 bit files - I'll try and find out. 4) Not sure about trying to use Rockbox. Just seems yet another intermediate step in an already confusing jungle of operability - and one that's bound to raise yet more issues. Any other observations / suggestions warmly welcomed, but thanks for the replies to date. -- liffy99 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ liffy99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7832 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84652 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
