I hope somebody who is better acquainted with the LMS/SBT transcoding process jumps in, but normally the FLAC file would be sent unprocessed, as a FLAC stream, to the SBT. Your change makes LMS transcode the file - but I am not sure what format LMS decides to use as the target format. Either it s a high res file then you get the bogus presentation of "bitrate" or hi is simply disabling native flac so that he gets pcm(wav) to the player . Or some really wierd convert.conf fiddling or soem strange combinationof file types settings hopefully no mystery fw on the player . I would log the behaviur then you now what its doing . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
