On a good system, you're going to notice a BIG difference between MP3 and FLAC. I have a RWA-upgraded Squeezebox running FLAC and it sounds MUCH better than the CDP I have. MP3 always sounds very compressed, screetchy and bandwidth limited.
FLAC vs. MP3 for Sonos Network
First and foremost, I am a music guy, not a computer guy.
I am planning to set up a Sonos Network in my home.
My computer guy from work is helping me get set up on the computer side of this project (w/NAS & software, etc.)
I let him know that FLAC & EAC are things that are recommended by the a'gon community.
He felt that MP3 may be a better choice, as it is more universally used, etc. His big concern was the ability to copy music to an ipod, if I wanted to do that, which is a possibility down the road.
Any thoughts on how to move forward?
Are there or will there be ipod type players that recognise FLAC?
What are the pro's & con's in deciding of FLAC vs. MP3?
Thanks!
