[QUOTE="raverx3m, post: 6430358, member: 563973"] i asked pioneer about it and there was dead silence on the other end. the rep didnt say much but"were workign on it" and that "we were first to implement ipod support" but what i just realized is, most of the units come with a USB input. the unit sees any usb capable device that has memory as a removable drive. which means it reads the file and decodes it internally like it would read off the cd for example. also according to pioneer, the direct ipod connection is handled in a different way. the ipod decodes the compressed file nternally and removes copyprotection... and sends the PCM data(uncompressed data) to the stereo where it processes it as for example an audio cd. and i think its safe to assume that the other compaies do it same way ipod decodes, radio plays. what i dont understand is why cant we have it for all other MP3 players capable of playing FLAC. its been a while since since the portable MP3 players had it and watching the car audio industry catch up is like watching special olympics... is there any members of this board that have ties to the major car audio manufacturers? maybe someone can investigate and ask around to see if we should expect flac support next year?
