jacksonbart Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 For the most of us that means I-Tunes or Amazon and the like with lossy formats. Although the selection is limited, http://www.hdtracks.com/index.php, has started selling FLAC and AIFF formats as well as HD formats on line. I have purchased 8 FLAC albums and have not been disapointed, After selecting them and downloading them I dragged and dropped them to my Olive Server. They sound great. I hope this option expands.

Dennie Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Thanks for the Tip. I too have been using them for lossless downloads and I too don't mind paying my way! Dennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshnich Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hey Jacksonbart I am not familiar with dragging the download to the Olive. Where do you do that. i download - burncd and then put it on the server. Havent figured out how to drag and drop! Any help would be appreciated! josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Go the "Run" feature of windows (XP go to Start, Vista its in accessories), enter \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx were xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the Olive server IP address on your network. Example the maestro IP address for me is http://192.168.1.5:8163/maestro.php So I would enter \\192.168.1.5, make sure your server is not in sleep mode, you will get a window that pops up with a folder called import, click on that, its in import window that you can drag and drop music into. It will appear on your server tagged with the meta data intact as soon as its copied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmako Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 JB, Many thanks for the link. I will do some bidness wid dem. I used to buy stuff on iTunes, but now my first choice is Amazon. I'd like to purchase the actual disc when possible and I've gotten some great deals on lightly used CDs. I have a fair amount of music on an external hard drive. Anything I add to that will come from whoever can provide the highest qaulity download at a reasonable price, and these folks look far superior to Apple.

joshnich Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Thanks Jacksnbart Now I have to translate that to the MAC. Sounds as if there is some place to tell the computer to add a server. I need to figure out how to do that with the mac. Thanks Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I would only buy music that is on line. It's the best kind. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
