sony windows pc to mac mini
Posted by: steven2907 on 07 April 2013
just changed from sony windows pc to a mac mini, downloaded winamp to play radio paradise at 320kps throught the url link, only to find the mac version does not support a url connection ( or does it )
if it doesn't what programme does? playing through itunes at the moment
any help would be appreciated
thanks
I think there is a way to do it through VLC Media player but not sure how,am looking in to it later today!
Andrew.
steven. I think I may have sorted it.
Open Itunes then press command u
copy and paste http://scfire-m21.websys.aol.c...aradise_aac+_320kbps
Voila?
Hi Steven, I'm sorry but I know nothing about winamp! Not sure why you would need or want it on a mac? You can play RP direct from iTunes without it,its in "radio" then "eclectic" but not in 320 kbps.
All you need to do is copy and paste the same as before with "command u" and drag it into playlist on the left where it should stay until it is deleted. When you want to listen just "click" to play!
Hi Andrew, Winamp plays RP @ 320kps but it also shows the history of the artist that is bing played with a lot of extra information, in my opinion its very good, it also shows the bit rate of any music being played, i think anyone using it would be very surprised...sadly these extra bits are not present on the mac version
I had a look at it and it does look good for Windows, I might give J River Media a try when they have ironed out all the mac issues!
I've been using the mac mini for about a year now through a Young M2Tech dac and think its brilliant,recently got rid of the cd player because I wasn't using it. You should give BitPerfect a try,its about 6 quid through iTunes apps and its v good.
Other good sites on set up and info on the mac mini are The LiveLounge and Computer Audiophile,both well worth af ew hours of reading time to optimise the mini for playback.
Sorry,not Live Lounge,I meant Ilounge!
Bitperfect is still in the app store!
