Hey Ed,
Mac-Curious?
Welcome aboard, heheh.
So you saw the info coming in from MacWorld and their new announcements, eh? Cool!
I'm not sure, but I think you should have no problem playing WAV files through iTunes. I downloaded an album from Magnatunes.com in WAV format and burned it to CD. I never played it through iTunes though. Every CD I import through iTunes I do so in Apple Lossless format, and that's what gets burned onto my iPod.
RAID 5?!! Wholly shit! Not taking any chances with speed or loss of data are you?
On initial launch, iTunes will ask you to locate the library from which you want to import all your songs from. In OSX, just navigate to that folder and import those songs. You'll then be able to organize them according to genre, artist, album, etc. in iTunes.
As for the Edirol, I'm no help there. I've been hearing questions about how best to interface it with a Mac, but still no answers.
I use a fast multi-processor machine at work for Photoshop retouching, but at home a hotrodded Apple Cube works fine for me when using iTunes, iDVD, iMovie, and sometimes even Maya. But, this Mac Mini occupies about one fourth the volume of my little Cube. Pretty neat. I can see it being an ideal web hosting machine, data or music server.
I'm waiting for an announcement that a university is buying 10,000 of these little fellas to cluster into the fastest computer on earth.
