Good but as discussed . You can use flac it's still lossles and the same as PCM and mp3 would only happen when necessary , bitrate limiting invoked or an old slimp3 ( or other player ) that needs mp3. So just leaving the filetypes settings with both flac and mp3 enabled works just fine LMS knows that for example your Touch should have a flac stream ( or pcm if you disabled flac ). LMS automatically picks,the best possible stream to,use given the used players . Flac is prefered over pcm because it conserves bandwidth , good with wifi conected players. If you are cpu bound you can save some cpu cycles at the expense of bandwith with flac disabled . But the result is the same at the player lossles is lossles regardless of codec . The confusion between lossles compression ( flac alac ape etc ) and lossy compression ( ogg mp3 AAC etc ). We can have another tread about that . Short version lossles compresion restores the original PCM when decoded lossy does not information is trown away -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
