I see in the server settings that alac has conversions to flac, wav and
mp3, I turned off all but flac. I think I saw you can't FF or rew
through alac songs though.

I've never used it, but isn't it transcoded before being sent to the

I believe Itunes keeps the tag info separate. I already have every song
stored as Apple lossless. I did a quick search before and didn't
notice anything that might convert these, but it looks like maybe

to work. Not sure abo

Actually the track number is part of the name. I have the "Itunes"
folder, under that 'Itunes Music", under that '1 maniacs" folder,
under that "in my tribe" folder which contains the following:
01 What's The Matter Here_.wav
02 Hey Jack Kerouac.wav
etc.
So it organized by artist/album, ma

I guess I'm now struggling on how to convert my WAV files to flac. I
don't want to re-rip all my CDs but without the tag info on a WAV file,
and the track number as part of the file name, I'm stumped what to use
to get my WAV files to flac with tag info. I guess plenty of utils

Ditto Matthew - the flac2mp3 is a godsend. I even managed to work out
how to do a batchfile to make the whole process simpler (I am not that
technical).

Only complexity and occasional headaches. If you don't need iTunes for
anything else then you really don't need it for SS.

Ive had the same issue (lots of MP3s and a growing number of FLAC) and

I'm just mentioning this since this question seems to come up once in a
while. I personally doesn't feel the solution described below is good,
but I thought it was worth mentioning.
It is possible to use the Multi Library plugin to define a virtual
library that does something similar to this. Yo
It would be a good feature - it could assume that where the filename is
exactly the same, it is a duplicate, maybe? Hmm, might need tags too.
May not be that easy to code...
