Hi Dean,

As I mentioned in my reply to Sean, my server is not a Mac, so
QuickTime is not available to do the transcoding. The server is a
low-powered LinkStation with limited CPU and RAM resources. While a
fully lossless format (ALAC) that is natively supported by both iTunes
and Squeezebox would be ideal, I would be happy with high bit-rate AAC
if it were natively supported in firmware. The Roku SoundBridge does
this, so it is clearly possible.
