This can be a real limitation!
I have no inside information, but lets get real. The Touch is tiny, and has a small embedded processor. Its never going to run the complete SqueezeBoxServer software. Its too slow, has too little memory, etc. Of course there are limitations, its not a big computer with a couple of gighertz processor with hundreds if not thousands of megabytes of memory. I'm not even seeing why you would need transcoding. There is no need for transcoding for MP3 or flac files (know from personal experience) and I'm pretty sure that AAC is supported natively by new and even legacy SqueezeBoxen. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
