I can't actually listen to the stream - so I will answer from knowledge of what should be happening.

Once connected only streams that can be decoded by SB will play. Since SB doesn't support mms protocol the stream won't play. The issue is the transport protocol and not audio format. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38176 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
