According to the DLNA specifications the baseline "must support" format is PCM, so in theory your Onkyo ought to accept and play offer 1) above. However, quite a few players don't support PCM, but then in theory they should fall back to accepting and playing offer 2) above; but you don't have LAME installed, so offer 2) is not currently being offered... => So my advice to you is as follows: i) Check the specifications of your player. Does it support PCM? If so, then it OUGHT to be accepting offer 1), and in this case there is probably some other problem needing to be resolved... ii) Install LAME, and try again. In which case offer 2) will be made, and your player should accept that offer and play it. jazzman;659615 Wrote: > I can play the 10 or so MP3's I haveGood.
