基于Fedora的Linux發行，VortexBox 2.3 發布

VortexBox是基于Fedora的Linux發行，它將一臺沒在使用的計算機轉變為一臺易于使用的音樂服務器或電唱機。一旦VortexBox加載好，它能自動從CD唱片轉換出FLAC和MP3文件、對文件進行ID3標記、下載封面圖樣。VortexBox之后便能使這些文件服務于網絡媒體播放軟件。音樂文件也能以流媒體形式運送到Windows或Mac OS X操作系統。

Andrew Gillis has announced the release of VortexBox 2.3, the latest version of the project's Fedora-based distribution that turns an unused computer into an easy-to-use music server or jukebox: "It has been over a year since our last full release of VortexBox. There have been small incremental updates but not a big release. VortexBox 2.3 is finally ready! Thanks to the work of our community the release has a huge number of features and updates. Although the interface looks the same, most of the features are in the underlying technology: SqueezeBox Server 7.8.0, the latest release from Community Squeeze; Fedora 20 with better hardware support for new DACs, motherboards; Squeezelite as a built-in player; full DSD support - play DSD direct to a DSD capable DAC or transcode to PCM in-line for non DSD DACs; backup and restore now does the LMS settings as well; network-based install so you can install from a USB key...."
