OK, an update: I was wong before; iTunes Plus non-DRM files play
correctly. These are 128k files updated via the iTunes Plus update
offer to 256k, plucked right out of the iTunes Library directory and
copied to the directory (on the NAS) where all audio files for
SqueezeBox are stored. I don't distinguish between file types in the
Music directory (so permissions, access, etc is all the same).

Turning on 'd_format' debug sounds like a good try, but doing so yeilds
no additional output in the log file. I've reverted back to GA v6.5.2
for testing, as I want to catch the bug (should there be one) in the
release version. I've tried cueing up working and non-working files
with 'd_format' on, and nothing. Perhaps this means there no format
issue here at all?

Just for S&G I turned on the v6.5.2 SlimServer module on the Infrant
box and pointed a SqueezeBox at it rather than the Mac. Same testing
approach as above, with identical results. Since there's no QuickTime
installed on the NAS OS, this leads me more towards a file-related
issue rather than a serving lib or connector issue.

The thing I can't justify is why these same files play normally via
desktop apps and not via SlimServer? If the files are bad, or locked in
some way, why would QuickTime Player play it?

Audio Hijack Pro is a handy tool for capturing audio streams in a Mac
and producing a sound file from it. Lots of folks use it to create
DRM-free sound files from iTunes Store masters. Check it out at
