Sure sure,
With the pandemic and other things, no places to go, there
is plenty of time to waste.
It is not like I do this all the time converting files.
Maybe in September 2016 I took about 4 days to convert all
1300 CDs to Flac Level 0... then over time months later
when I learned that 0 was not working well in Pioneer Stereo...
I used that other software to do a batch conversion of
everything to uncompressed just as a master copy.
That may have taken a day or 2 ? after the verification process.
Then I decided to continue to do batch conversion to other
levels of 5 and 8.. what i do is run it , go out shopping, dining,
whatever then come back to it when it is completed so
I never regarded it as "wasting" my time as I had other things
to do while the computer running on 7 cores did all the
conversions. I would say the job was done within 1 to 2 days?
I was probably talking on the phone with family and friends
and going to the buffet while the computer (Asus ) using its
7 cores did all the work.
Anyway, could we address my other concern or do I need to post
another topic...?
The concern is how to simulate using only JRiver Media Center software
to do what I use Airfoil for to send audio sent to the computer running
your software to other speakers networked in my LAN?
iTunes can do this where one can play music on it and send that audio
to multiple rendered speaker systems within one's network.
Does JRiver Media Center make some use of Zones to set up an
aggregation of available networked speakers and then send the audio/music
to that group of networked speakers?
So basically I have a remote device with access to music either on
an internal storage (1TB microsd for example ) or DLNA accessed
networked drive like from USB storage connected to router , then
I play the audio using software like Neutron Music Player or
BubblePNP (or even PowerAmp, HiFI Cast, DoubleTwist ) to
beam that audio to the computer running your software ...
then Airfoil sends that audio to a selected list of networked speaker
systems where your software is the source input.
Your software is great on the Mac computers I have
(MacMini, MacbookPro, iMac ) as it sets the computer up
as a renderer or the option section to use computer to share
media and set up DLNA part is checked. This makes
the computer open to send or play audio to or through it
like how Windows Media Player works on Windows computers.
This is the reason why I purchased your software did the
best job for Mac computers.
I would like to take Airfoil out of the loop and just use your software
alone if that is possible.
As far as wasting time... the hard work has been done maybe
years ago... now when I get a trickle of CDs here and there,
the process of conversion is fairly quick taking up a few minutes
of my time perhaps while I had lunch at a college campus .
No big deal , but thank you for your concerns to help me not
waste my time more as I am probably doing such now?.
