Greetings all.
Despite being a member here for a while, I’ve hardly ever posted, but now feel the need to!
I have a fair collection of disc-based multichannel music, but I have never downloaded any, and feel that I’m missing out. A wee while ago, I started looking into how to do it, but got confused, frustrated, and eventually put it off to another time.
I attempted to learn about it again tonight, but am still none the wiser.
Things that I read and think sound simple enough, turn out to be confusing. For instance, I read tonight that Oppo (last August) released a free “dvd sampler”, and all I had to do was go to nativedsd.com/oppo, make my format selection, then start the download. However, I couldn’t find any info on how to actually DO that. Is there some way of doing that from the Oppo? I don’t see any actual browser in the Oppo menu, only YouTube, Netflix, Rhapsody and some other apps. So do I have to (figure out how to) download the samples onto a computer then somehow transfer them to the Oppo?
With regards to downloading hi-res multichannel music in general, I presume that I have to use my MacBook then connect this to my amp? Or to the Oppo?
I’m sorry if I sound clueless, but I find this kind of technical stuff pretty challenging, and would appreciate any straightforward advice. Thank in advance.
