This is not right... Under 7.6, Apple Lossless (.m4a with lossless setting in the mp4 container) are transcoded to FLAC via faad and sox - this is the default setting and works now that faad has been patched in 7.5.1. FLAC-PCM also works (again using faad). I've just tested all this again on XP. 7.6 has all of the 7.5 fixes in it. You should NOT alter the default File Types settings unless you have a specific problem to fix that requires a change. I'm not sure why you mention "native" since there is no ALAC native... it has to be transcoded. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
