So, are you saying that WMAL transcoding is only supported on SS running on Windows? If so, there is even another reason to support WMAL in firmware. As for the FLAC/WMAL "war": For me it comes down to usability since they both are lossless and should produce the same result. I have no problems helping friends with a one time SS setup, but if I have to help them getting FLAC to work with the software that comes with "MP3" player XXX or cell phone YYY every time they get something new it becomes a hazzle. But, most important, what is SD's official take on WMAL support in firmware? -- Terje -- Terje ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Terje's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6773 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28267 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
