When I first heard about MP3tunes, I thought the concept of their service was excellent.
I currently have 30,855 songs (of which about 21,000 are in FLAC) stored on a 750GB HDD, and I have 3 750Gb HDDs which I use for backuping my music files, including one which I keep away from home. I never want to have to re-rip my music collection!!! On further investigation I discovered that MP3tunes do not accept FLAC files. I e-mailed them asking if FLAC files would be allowed in the future. The reply I got said that currently they allow lossy formats such as MP3 and OGG, but they have no plans to allow any lossless formats such as FLAC. Apparently there is no demand for lossless formats. I suppose the other problem with lossless formats is the time it would take to upload 21,000 FLAC files plus 9,500 MP3s!!!!! It would have been useful to use as an extra backup and also would have given me access to my music even when I am away from home. -- norderney Transporter (Black) - Arcam A85 Amp - B&W CDM1NT Speakers - Yamaha CDRHD1500 Recorder ------------------------------------------------------------------------ norderney's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=378 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44790 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/squeezenetwork
