Hi guys,
I have decided to ditch itunes as recently suggested for the playback of my music library.I have a windows 7 netbook with no optical out so its usb to my dac magic and on to my ca 840 amp and monitor audio speakers.I have had lots of crackling and hissing with itunes especially if i put on the itunes visualiser.I read all the helpful thread about settings in quiktime etc and has no impact.So on to foobar.I have downloaded it and for the life of me can not import my music files.I have done add folders , my music, itunes I see all my albums scan but when it stops its still not there on my list of artists.
I have tried add file and picked a single song which does appear on the foobar menu but when i click it it says mp4 playback not supported.I downloaded the alac plug in but still no joy.I am so close to giving up on the idea that a netbook can equal my cd player thru the same dac but offer more convenience.
I am also broke at the moment so an airport express is out of the question.any ideas?Should i just put on a cd?
