In that "File Types" section, you can select what kind of file type you want to send. I believe the options are WAV, FLAC, and MP3 (these are the file types that the SB can decode natively). If you don't want it to send it in MP3 format, unselect the WAV-->MP3 option. FWIW, I store my music using Apple Lossless and use File Types to convert it to FLAC when sending to the SB2. Have found this to be pretty much identical sonically to sending WAV files directly... -- PhilNYC Sonic Spirits Inc. http://www.sonicspirits.com _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
