Dear MS - this is what I did, based on the advice in the thread. Windows XP by the way: 1)find the latest SOX on the net and download (14.2 think) look here: http://sourceforge.net/export/rss2_projfiles.php?group_id=10706 make sure you download the Windows version from Nov 9 2008 2) put sox.exe and cygwin1.dll (from the download) into squeezecenter\server\bin\mswin32-x86-multi-thread directory (rename old sox.exe first!!!!!) 3) find custom-convert.conf - should be in the squeezecenter\server directory edit with NOTEPAD (this is important) and go to the bottom of the file: find the line: # special case for smart bitrates on mp3 input after that line, replace everythign with this: #mp3 mp3 transcode * # IFB:{BITRATE=-B %B}D:{RESAMPLE=--resample %D} # [lame] --silent -q $QUALITY$ -v $BITRATE$ $RESAMPLE$ --mp3input $FILE$ - flc flc transcode * # FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}D:{RESAMPLE=rate %d} [flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -t wav - -t flac - $RESAMPLE$ # This example transcodes MP3s to MP3s, if the target machine has the # given MAC address. This rule will take precedence over the # previous rule because it's more specific. #mp3 mp3 squeezebox 00:02:dd:34:e9:62 # ./brute_filter $FILE$ - stop SC and restart - should just work!!!!! -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...SB3+Stontronics PSU - Altmann JISCO/UPCI - TACT 2.2X (Linear PSU) + Good Vibrations S/W - MF Triplethreat(Audiocom full mods)- Linn 5103 - Aktiv 5.1 system (6x LK140's, ESPEK/TRIKAN/KATAN/SEIZMIK 10.5), Townsend Supertweeters, Kimber & Chord cables Outdoors: Boombox+Creative Sub (If I remember to turn it on...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55371 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
