I spent some time trying to get seeking working in WMA, the problem is the format is such a pain that it makes it very difficult to do. The WMA header contains data that changes based on the amount of audio data, so the header has to be rewritten on the fly every time you seek. I'm sure it's possible, just not as easy as the other formats. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
