Music via RNS510
« on: 27 March 2010, 15:11 »
To be ...uhhh...well prepared  :evil:.....for coming friday...PICKING UP my GTI I bought the whole lot in Medialand today...

I am among christmas presents at the moment... :cool: ..now have bought..an Ipod Classic 160Gig...a USB stick 32 Gig...an SD-card 2Gig..and a mini sd-card for the phone...

MY BURNING QUESTION....is there a way to play my classical music "lossless"  :cry:....if I do not want to work with cd's...the amount of Gig is probably enough for a nuclear meltdown...but all I seem to end up with is MP3 so it seems... :sad:

Second smaller question..Why is the acceptance of an SD-card maximized to 2Gig...is our GTI already behind the latest greatest mediapossibility... :lipsrsealed:

My logistics are...the Ipod for all the pop-albums..... the SD-card for a steady repetoire of classical music and the Memory Stick for quickly exchanging the newest music.. :smug:

You have a 30GB HDD in the RNS510, what about transferring some of the losless to the HDD from your CD's ?

Thanks Okay you are saying burn or buy something lossless on a cd as .WAV and copy/store it onto the harddisk.. :cool:.

What about this Ipod lossless stuff...can I write lossless music (flac) from the internet on that Ipod (Flac or do I need WAV) and feed it to the RNS510...is that something to do with the AAC extension.... :huh:

Yes exactly, I dont have an RNS510 so I'm unsure of the commands or the setup to do this, but with their being a HDD built into the RNS there will be some sort of command in one of the menus that will let you copy to HDD. The flac files that are on your ipod already will play just like any other music format i.e. mp3. I'm not sure how to get the ACC files over as they are encrypted in some way to prevent copying. Your on your own with that one as I dont know.

Do FLAC files play on the 510's and or the ipod?
I've always had to convert them to MP3 or AAC before.

I would try it myself but my PC is gubbed  :cry:

I thought flac's play on ipod normally ? If they dont, a 320k lame converted flac to mp3 should sound pretty good still.

You just need to have .wav files on your IPod. 30gig is plenty of space. Wav is 100% lossless CD quality and can be imported directly via Itunes from your CD's. Just set your import preferences in Itunes. Of course they take up the most space so you may already know all this. But I'd rather pick and choose what's on my IPod if necassary and have everything in Wav format.
