WMA Metainfo Support in mt-daapd

Wow, that was fast! Ron over at the mt-daapd project followed up on my entry about streaming lossless WMA to iTunes by adding full WMA metainfo support to the mt-daapd project. Sweet!

So what does that mean? It means that if you set up a patched version of mplayer on a Linux [Answers] box, and install the latest 'nightly' of the mt-daapd software, you can encode all of your CD's in the bit-perfect Windows Media Lossless format, and stream them to any computer on your network that has iTunes. As a matter of fact, you can stream them to any device that supports Apple's Rendezvous protocol, such as a Roku Soundbridge. Awesome!

Did I mention that mt-daapd also supports FLAC and Apple Lossless formats too?

A Whole House Music Storage [musicstorage4, musicstorage6, musicstorage1, musicstorage2, musicstorage-solved3, musicstorage3, musicstorage-solved1, musicstorage8, musicstorage-solved2, musicstorage5, musicstorage7] solution? Yup, mt-daapd puts us just about there…
