Once we had a secretary who told me, that she doesn't zip compress documents for emails, because they will not look so sharp if you print them later...

Was it Spoon who said he put the Uncompressed setting in for the paranoid?!

For anyone else setting these up, the answer is that the Playlist syntax is: /volume1/music/ followed by the full path in my case ie:...

gotcha. what should the syntax be? on the Synology, the following is in the MUSIC folder (as an example): /iTunes 2/iTunes Media/ABBA/Arrival...

It is not possible to launch music converter this way.

>48k/112kbps You need to go on the advanced page for mp3 (Lame) and choose 48KHz for the frequency. At this low bit rate without 48khz forced,...

/Volumes/music/iTunes 2/iTunes Media/Music/ This looks like a path on your MAC, you would need the correct path on the Synology

Just keep trying with popular CDs. Sometimes one can get the drive setup for AccurateRip with a single CD. Sometimes it takes trying 15 or 20...

He shouldn't hear any difference (given that all these FLAC files are decoded back to the same lossless audio), unless something is very broken with...

I started on the default 5 and now use 8. A work colleague started on 5 and now uses uncompressed, even though he admits he can hear no difference...

Just confirmed this is ONLY happening with MP3 conversion. I checked some older encodes I did to AAC from 96k WAV and they're at 48k. Again, I'd...

I think that I partially understand what you’re saying. I’ve only just learned of the importance of using checksums and taking other measures to...

If it is a one off conversion of WMA, keep with dBP on the mac, and install the trial version on Windows which will allow the conversion from WMA to...

Yes, I suspect WMA doesn't work with Mac version (and your reference confirms this). I was only pointing out that WAV files can likely be converted...

I originally created lossless files and these files have the .wma extension. I should have said these are WMA files. When I try to access the files...

Do you mean WMP Lossless files (rather than WAV). I suspect the MAC program can convert WAV files.

I agree. I just paid for the Mac version, turns out I need the PC version (which I can do since I use Parallels).
