> On a low-powered system, transcoding causes burps in the music. I cannot begin to imagine how low-powered this system would have to be. A flakey wireless connection, maybe. A slow disk with some other concurrent accesses, maybe. Not the transcoding. Both FLAC and AAC run fine on battery-powered devices.
Incidentally the SB2 and up have a far larger buffer - you'd have to torture the server to get dropouts. Looks to me you want to solve a problem you have with an SB1 and an underpowered server by adding a feature no-one else needs to the firmware of an SB2, which however wouldn't exhibit the problem in the first place. > Most "average users" likely use WMP or iTunes. Might be, since when is that a reason to do the same? Most likely your "average user" doesn't know what a Squeezebox is, either. Hell, average users tend to have their Windows machines chock-full with spyware ... One lossy and one lossless format in firmware is enough, provided the server gains the ability to seek through these files and to transcode radio streams. C.
