想問下你地aiff format儲在nas，用notebook read時會不會沒有了metadata?只得歌名，入面沒歌的資料？
我在mac機用iTunes rip 做aiff的，在mac上iTunes看到歌的資料，但在foobar ( win xp )上就看不到..

rhys,

Foobar cannot read the metadata stored in AIFF format and that is why most of detail infomation regarding a song cannot be properly displayed when using Foobar as the player for an AIFF formatted music file.

Personally, I love Foobar and I reckon it is better than iTune (even partnered with Pure Music under the Mac OS).  However, I guess life is not perfect.  You can either opt for sound quality and choose Foobar or just stick with iTune for its ease of use.

If you are using Foobar, you should also consider upgrading your operating system so that you can take advantage of the WASAPI pluggin.  The WASAPI plug in only works in Win7 but not WinXP.  You will be surprised in the level of improvement.

謝謝你的建議，不過冇budget買一部新notebook做source

rhys,

You do not need to buy a new notebook as server.  All you have to do is to upgrade your operating system to Win7.

If budget is tight or you have to stick with Win XP, you can still "upgrade" your foobar by installing ASIO output plugin.

For installation, you can refer to the following links for details:-
