Very bizarre. Have you played around with the Player Settings - Audio - Bitrate Limiting setting and Lame Quality Level setting? How's the processor load when you transcode? (At a Lame Quality Level of 0, it brought my old 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 to its knees. My new Core 2 Duo may fare better, but it's still not an easy task at 0-1-2 quality settings.) > I'd also like to be able to use WAV streams instead of MP3.

You can't stream WAV or FLAC with SlimServer, nothing but MP3 to a software client. Have you tried SoftSqueeze? You can stream WAV or FLAC to SoftSqueeze and kind of-sort of synch with your Squeezebox (synch doesn't work that well with SoftSqueeze unfortunately). -- Mark Lanctot 'Sean Adams' Response-O-Matic checklist, patent pending!'
