Apple Lossless support
« on: June 06, 2009, 11:01:05 AM »
Hi,

Just a quick question, are you planning on adding Apple Lossless support to Pulp Tunes? I really like it but since a good chunk of my music library is encoded in Apple Lossless, I can't use it to play those songs.

Since this uses the browser flash plugin to play songs, it all depends on flash supporting that format, which I think it doesn't. But I'll have to double check, and if it's possible I'll add it to the next version.

Terrific work.

Great to see this type of development.  I can get it to work nicely with mp3s.

Could I second the interest in Apple Lossless.  Quality matters.  (if the restriction is Flash - a possible way forward is to transcode --- but that's a big step I should think)

Also I have experimented with picking up the service on a Nokia 5800 (Wifi) around my house.  It would be great for carrying with you wherever I roamed in the range of my router.  I think this is exactly the point of a product like pulpTunes.  But I'm struggling currently.

Noted the vote for Apple Lossless.

I don't know what browsers do Nokias use nowadays. As long as it supports standards well enough, javascript and flash, I don't see why it wouldn't work. The phone should not only be able to access the machine where pulpTunes is, but also the interweb. That would be the normal network setup anyways, but I point it out just in case.

The product idea seems very interesting...

I would like to vote for Apple lossless support too as all my music is in that format (i have ripped all my CDs to iTunes and have an AppleTV connected to my hifi, and IMO apple lossless is the only one that is worth listening to on your hifi).

Guess that when you use flash only rich clients can be used - do you have a client (app) for iPhone in your plans as Safari on the iPhone does not have a flash plug-in?

regards,
Soren

iPhone Mobile support will be added in version 1.3

Another vote for apple lossless (ALAC), 350 of my 400 gigs are lossless. However, you're beholden to Flash, so I hope it's supported.

At any rate, great product guys!

Hi guys, I would really love to see Apple Lossless as well. Also a couple friends and I are working on developing an actual app for droid and for IPhone that would connect to your puplTunes server, pending the puplTunes Dev approval of course!
