Hi everyone - sat here eating my cornflakes - wow what a response. Many many thanks to all of you who have responded. The confusion has been lifted, but still I am still disheartened. My final conclusion last night was that the poor old wireless belkin must be running around like a headless chicken trying to sort everything out. Marc - you have confirmed this. The whole point of buying a wireless SB3 was to have it located in another room. Unfortunately, this makes me believe I have bought something not fit for purpose? Or did I miss the small print somewhere? BPA please "if you install Lame and then disable RTSP->WAV and RTSP->FLAC, it should minimise the problem as you will used MP3 to SB and not Flac." I see MP3 as the scourge of the noughties, however, it might help, can you please tell me how to do this.
