Quote: Van Lear Rose is a fantastic album.   My favourite album last year: Jamey Johnson - The Guitar Song    

Squeezepad, love the app and appreciate the work you have put in to make it even better. Also want to thank you for your Weather applet which I use with my radio.

Quote: What about Sonos? If you own an iTouch you wouldn't need to buy a separate remote. Sonos can access a Samba share on your NAS so no need for a computer.

Not to derail this thread, but how are you finding the Touch in comparison to the Classic? Have you tried the touch with the built in server?   Quote:

A Squeezebox Touch would be a good choice as it does not require an external server/NAS, just a USB hard drive.    Quote:

Check out Vortexbox.org it works great as a headless media server. I run it on a lower spec'd computer with good results. Doesn't require a lot of Linux knowledge, many options configurable via web browser.   Quote:

Quote: The iPod Classic has good sound quality, to say that it will "cripple" your earphones is  hyperbolic. The fact that the you need to carry the hifiman in a bag makes me laugh, I thought my ancient Rio Karma was huge.

Guys, if you have a Mac you can play FLAC files in iTunes with the Xiph quicktime components. You can also convert from FLAC to ALAC directly in iTunes. Kind of a pain to import large batches of files, but it has been working nicely on my Mac for several months. Anyone know if FLAC will be...

The new Radiohead album will be available for download on Oct 10 according to their blog: http://radiohead.com/deadairspace/ The site to download it from is here: http://www.inrainbows.com/Store/index.html The price of the download is "up to you."

Quote: Originally Posted by poo What should I use instead of iTunes? I'm looking for FLAC playback also. Hi There, Itunes can play FLAC files natively. See here for the Xiph Quicktime component. I have had version 0.1.7 installed and while there are some issues with the way...

My Morning Jacket "Okonokos" is a really great live album. If you have the bandwidth, bt.etree.org is a good place to look around for taped live shows, free.

Hi, You can import and play your Flac and OGG files in Itunes using the XiphQT component for OSX. You don't need to convert your Flacs to use them with iTunes. See this link: http://earpick.wordpress.com/2007/06...itunes-on-mac/

I highly recommend the movie. Some of R.L. Burnside's songs are in the movie so you might want to check him out. Corey Harris - Greens From the Garden is a great album.
