Got it -- I had seen some other streaming adjustment, I don't remember where, but it looked like it would effect all players, and I didn't want to do that. So if I turn my phone off and restart SBS, so it doesn't see HTC Eris anymore, then turn it back on, will it still have the same setting, or does it only remember it as long as that particular player is active? I have LAME installed, so I know it's converting (that was an issue in the other thread I had started). I dropped the bitrate to 192, but considering the ultra-high quality of the Droid as a playback device, I am willing to bet I can drop it more without noticing anything. Thanks for all the help -- your program and SC are a great combo to use - now I can listen to my music anywhere I have a cell connection. Next step: Replace the port forwarding with a VPN for security. (Things like that are always a joy, since I have to repeat any firewall settings twice!) Oh, I saw somewhere in all the Googling that you were looking for beta testers for native FLAC support for SP. If streaming MP3 at too high a bitrate makes the system choke, won't streaming FLAC files do even worse? Again, thanks for all the help! -- HalNineThousand ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HalNineThousand's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12392 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87617 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
