Hi -
A search on this forum shows me there are many many IPOD users that also use MediaJukebox. I am thinking of buying an IPOD but want to first check out how well it would integrate into my existing music library. I have several thousand tracks all ripped from my own CD collection, and all managed by MediaJukebox. My computer has a digital audio out connection to my stereo, and all that works great. Over the years I have tried various file formats, so I have mp3, wma, mpc, ogg, et al. One format I have exactly zero of is "aa" (or is it "aac"), which I understand is what the IPOD uses.
I do see there is a "beta" plug in for IPOD available for download.
Would MediaJukebox work smoothly with an IPOD in terms of moving tracks to the IPOD, converting the files to AA format (or whatever) that the IPOD uses but without changing the format on the "mother" computer ?
Also, if I buy the IPOD, I will likely also try the ITunes (for Windows) service. If I buy and download a song from ITunes, can I add it to my MediaJukebox library and play it from MediaJukebox. MediaJukebox really is the foundation for my music collection, so I would be pretty reluctant to have to use a different player or media manager. The downloaded songs would be played on:
1. The computer it was downloaded to.
2. The IPOD.
3. Potentially burned to a cd-rom for play in car.
Comments as to whether an IPOD/ ITunes would be a happy marriage with my existing MediaJukebox situation ?
Thanks.
