Transcoding is the process of converting one format to another. In this
case it's specifically talking about filetypes which the player itself
doesn't support, and which are converted to FLAC (or something else) by
the server to allow playback. 

WMA lossless is not supported by the players (due, I think, to
licensing issues) and so must be transcoded on the server. Currently,
that means gapless playback is not possible. I believe the new
streaming code in 7.3 should fix that (though I'm not 100% sure of
that).
