I recently purchased a used SB1 from a coworker upgraded to an SB2. Since purchasing it I have tried and failed to get SlimServer running on Linux to play Apple Lossless files. I tried FAAD (various versions as suggested by many sources) and got nowhere fast (could not find stream in ... blah blah blah).
Today on a whim I did yet another Google search and found this: http://crazney.net/programs/itunes/alac.html Worked on the first try. I am having a couple issues though that maybe somebody could help with: First, It seems that all songs start out with a pop. I am guessing that the command line options I set in convert.conf were incorrect and are resulting in a linefeed or space at the start of the song. What I used is: mov wav squeezebox * [alac] $FILE$ As a test I tried using alac to convert the file from *.m4a to *.wav, and added the wav file to my playlist. There were no pops. Second, alac supports PCM output. Is there any benefit to using this instead of wav output? Thanks in advance for any advice on the above issues. I hope someone who was looking for a decoder for Apple Lossless finds this useful. -- ___________________________________________________________________________ Frank Xavier Ledo [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
