The Airport Express protocol is a clear example of the DRM tail
wagging the protocol dog, using 5 times the bandwidth and tying up the
host computer in doing a decode/encode cycle for something that should
be a trivial http file transfer.
Hardly. The Airport Express basically acts as a remote pair of
speakers. What you play in iTunes gets streamed to the AE. It's a
push-vs-pull thing. iTunes and AE uses a push model (from iTunes to
the AE) while DAAP is a pull model (the client pulls the audio from an
iTunes peer). ... unless there's a remote control aspect to DAAP that
no-one's previously discovered...
