Since you are using an SBR (Reciver not Radio), it cannot play AAC/MP4/M4A natively and so LMS uses faad/flac to transcode m4a (actually AAC as m4a is the file not audio format) into a Flac stream (i.e lossless) and the lossless Flac is sent to SBR . Squeezeplay is similar and so you have the same problem with both players - faad cannot decode the file. If you can replace your faad with the version from 7.7.2 , it might fix the problem but I have a nagging feeling that there is still a group of m4a file which cannot be players because of the m4a file structures (e.g. indexes are at the end of the file) > > I'm happy to try to transcode it to, say, Mp3/320.

You'd better to tranmscode to Flac - trhat way you won't be losing any qualoity - VLC should be able to do this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95072 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
