AIR

[PhilP]

I've been using pretty much the defaults on Audivarna. Guillaume found it worked better (or worked at all) when you turned off the low level playback options. It's behaved for me in that respect and I haven't had to touch them.
The big drawback is needing to adjust the bit/sample rate in AIR to match what's playing. Otherwise it plays at the wrong speed (wrong sample rate) or craps out all the time (wrong bitrate)! I find this requirement particularly annoying.

I believe you can link Audivarna in with iTunes but I've been using it standalone as I dislike iTunes intensely. Unfortunately like this it's rather crude and you have to drag and drop tracks into the playlist.

Ok, thanks. I don't like iTunes much either and would be very happy to replace it. The fact that I will have to adjust the sample rate in AIR seems absurd... thanks for the warning.
