I didn't        want to mess around with transferring/importing my all my music        files and relearn yet-another music program when iTunes is        pretty darn good at what it does. It even supports streaming        files across a LAN to another pc that has iTunes.               AA>> ..The fellow has a fine hifi system.

They all produce the        WvV> same bytes that go into your DA converter for playback.              Short of hooking up a scope and/or other measuring devices, our        audio tests were very specific. We tested recordings with        quiet passages, and specific recordings that featured super low        pipe-organ notes. They all seemed to reproduce in FLAC and        AppleLossless equally well.       --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.51        * Origin: Got mobile?
