Problem fixed, I had not configured the playback options...

I succesfully imported a directory with FLAC files but when I try to play them I get this error: I am running 10.8.2 and I have a HRT Technologies Music Streamer II+ USB DAC. I can play music both from iTunes and Audirvana with no problems. Where can I report this problem?

Thanks, torrent streams are blocked at work so I'll have to download it from home tonight...

Is anyone still seeding the torrent? In this case, could you please send me the link? Thanks! -Arrigo

I am looking for some advice about a new setup that I am experimenting with. I rip my CDs to FLAC files on a Vortexbox NAS. The Vortexbox has worked very well for me so far. I used to listen to my music using a Slimdevices Squeezebox with Slimserver running on the Vortexbox, then I moved to a Music Streamer II+ USB DAC connected to a Mac Book. I would like to use iTunes to organize my music collection: it's not ideal and it has problems, but I have not seen any better alternatives on the Mac (let me know if you know one...). The Vortexbox can stream and re-encode FLAC files to WAV format on the fly, and I can play these on iTunes. Now my question is: is there any way I can take use iTunes in conjunction with one of these new high-resolution players like Amarra, Channel D, Audirvana, etc with this setup? I downloaded the evaluation version of Amarra MINI and I found that I can't import any DAAP album in MINI. Maybe the only solution is to setup the music folder on the Vortexbox as an NFS share? I tried with the Samba share that is configured by default but I had problems importing loading it into iTunes and I have read on some boards that iTunes has problems with this configurations. Any ideas? Thanks in advance -Arrigo

My setup consists of a Slimdevices/Logitech Squeezebox Classic and Squeezebox server running on a VortexBox appliance. I have been ripping my CD collection to FLAC on the VortexBox. My main computer is a Mac and I am looking for a software application that would allow me to organize the music files, edit tags, manage cover art, etc... Since I use FLAC, iTunes does not work for me. Ideally, I would like to keep the music files on the VortexBox and manage them from the Mac through the network. After some research I came to the conclusion that MediaMonkey is the most respected application for this task, and I could certainly run it in a Windows virtual machine on the Mac. Has any member of this group faced the same problem? Thanks, -Arrigo
