I'll stand by my quote above as for US law being unclear on this issue, but I know the laws vary from country to country. Honestly, I had never even considered the issue before, it just seemed so obvious to me, even though I am a lawyer. But now that I consider it I do now understand your position. > What many of us do is keep one lossless copy for home use and a lossy > copy (like MP3 or AAC) for portable use. ...

I normally set iTunes to down-convert the files I put on our iPods anyway, for the reasons you say, but that makes synching painfully slow. > the client/server model still applies in many ways. OK; that's starting to make sense now; thanks. > I would recommend a low-end Intel Atom-based pc instead. And just leave it running 24-7? That's cool. Could I just throw one of my NAS hard drives into it? What OS do you use on it? -- Zonker92 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zonker92's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=46280 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87448 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
