I'm not sure what you're getting at. Why would I want simultaneous data streams ? Yes, I'm happy with "push-only" model, controlling the MacMini, in my living room A/V center, using my laptop (Finder sidebar screen sharing) and her iPad (iTunes remote app). I'll occasionally sync my iPod (which stays in my car as its music server) to the MacMini (by plugging into USB and using Finder sidebar screen sharing from my laptop), after I've ripped a number of new CDs or downloaded stuff. I can pull the iPod out of the car for rental cars and vacation houses and such, and plug it into the stereo systems there (I'll live without CD quality on those occasions). The MacMini will be the master copy of all my music, occasionally backed up to a 1TB HDD. I may do the same for photos (have it be the main server, connected by HDMI to my 55" TV as it is.How are you gonna have simultaneous different data streams coming off the same iTunes library? Or does the "one size fits all" push-only model work for everyone, all the time, and forever? What are you gonna do about taking your show on the road (i.e. lossless CD-quality music, 100+GBs, on iPods for your cars and to take to your friends' places)?
That may well be true, and I don't think it bothers me.Does BitPerfect still allow the iTunes architecture and basic functionality to operate? I was under the impression that you gave up pulling from the Library over the network, restricting yourself to push only operation using the replacement engine on the server (pusher?).
