Seamless transcoding to FLAC just means that the SlimServer decodes the WMA Lossless stream to a WAVE stream which then again is encoded to a FLAC stream which in turn is sent to the SqueezeBox. If you already have FLAC files there is no need for this decode/encode to take place on the server as the SqueezeBox supports the FLAC format natively and the file is streamed directly from SlimServer to the device without any more work on the server. fauzigarib Wrote: > mkozlows, > I downloaded EAC, and FLAC, and configured EAC to use an external > compression program and pointed it to use FLAC.exe.

EAC setup is important though, depending on what you are after. I have mine configured to make sure I get only 100% copies. Also, if you install AccurateRip you could get verification online - by CRC - that you ripped the exact same data as others did for the same track. -- Terje ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Terje's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6773 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26133 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
