Until recently, server based music systems were ridiculously complicated and took a lot of finagling to get working and even then there were (seemingly) constant software upgrades and we went from wav to flac to whatever Apple annoyingly uses to be "apple."So what DOES Apple annoyingly use to be "apple"? Lets see. The options on Apple include MP3, AAC, ALAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, and a few others. Hmm, that sounds pretty much like any other computer based music server.
Can you be more specific? What essential formats do they support or not support that makes them annoying? Personally, I haven't run across anything.
As for CD players, I still own one.... but I've probably played it only 3 or 4 times in the past 3 or 4 years! It's probably more hassle to sell it than to wipe the dust from it every now and then. ;-)
