Chip - I think you're confusing bitrate and sample frequency, they are related but are not the same thing. Formally (for CBR anyway) : BitRate = SampleFreq * SampleSize.
Whilst the SB (and pretty much any other decent mp3 decoder) can play virtually any _bitrate_ you throw at it, the digital output on the SB1 can only work with certain specific _sample frequencies_. You'll have to look at the files to see what frequency they're using, but given the low bitrate I'm guessing it's pretty low too (maybe 16kHz?). > The only difference was that I set them to be CBR 40kps > vs. something else.

The fix is to reencode the files at one of the SPDIF compatible frequencies (which will result in a higher bitrate, but not that much higher). -- radish _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
