I did a bit of reading on mt-daapd - as far as I can tell it doesn't have an equivalent to the iTunes XML library, if so it's not going to work with SlimServer. Although it probably could be supported with a plugin if someone was to write one... James NOTICE: If received in error,

I've seen this even with FAT32 floppies formatted in Linux, where they are unreadable in WinXP. Formatted in XP, they work fine back and forth. This leads to the conclusion that there is a slight difference in the partition table, but I've not investigate what the exact differences are. You

The Roku box is driven directly from iTunes; there is no need to export playlists etc. In fact, the Roku site doesn't even really mention any server software of their own. They also claim to be able to play FLAC files, but you have to download SlimServer software - which also works with Roku.
