  1. I'm using xld to rip my music library onto a Mac mini running jriver Mac version the Mac also has iTunes when I rip a album and open it in jriver each song on the album appears twice and when you play the album every track plays twice when I look at each of the two songs one is in the folder I created to store my music and the other is in iTunes folder how do I stop this I've tried to stop it in jriver by making sure the add songs to iTunes has not be ticked but it still happens any ideas welcome
  2. How much space do you need to store 100 cd in aiff compared to alac at 256 Kbps and would you hear the differance
  3. i would like to set up a music server in my music room downstairs we curently have a netgear n300 wireless router upstairs that we use for my ipad and wireless laptops around the house i dont have a ethernet cable running from upstairs to the music room but with alot of effort i could run one.i can get my hands on a macmini 2.6g i7 running 16gram 500g ssd and os xlion and thought this would work well from what i have learned so far i was going to install jrms and then use j remote to my i pad for control.i have also read that a nas is a good idea [synology] i have not set up anything like this before and have not used the software before so i cant get my head around how to connect it all up does the software comunicate withe the nas when i choose a album to listen to and down load it to the macs ssd or ram or do people have a nas for backup only can i connect the nas via a short enet cable to one of the enet outs on the net gear upstairs an use it wireless if this is not a good idea could i use a netgear powerline instead and have the nas upstairs and the other powerline next to my hifi gear that the macmini could connect to the powerline can run up to 500mbps my current itunes libary resides on my old dell laptop and is of varying quality so i want to re rip my cd libary to the best sound quality any suggestions as to the best external reader to buy for the macmini for the job and do i need to install i tunes on the mac or can i just use j river any help with these questions would be great and with the wealth of knowledge on this forum im sure i will see the day when i can sit back and pick an album from my ipad and just enjoy many thanks bart
  4. Just read about the del canto sounds good at $700 odd plus another 1 k for a dac is there a unit that does these two steps in the one box sounds great and eliminates one more cable
  5. I'm assuming you mean a cable ie a USB to spidf cable ? Will this give me better sound than through the mini jack many thanks bart
