Yes. Most of the common formats are supported. The most common problem type is "mms". mms is a Microsoft format for WMA. Stations have a choice of supporting mms and/or http as the transport protocol. A few have opted for just mms and mms is not supported by SB players using Squeezenetwork (the mms will work using a PC). MMS URLs are now deprecated by Microsoft for a few years but some stations are loath to change old but working systems. MMS is not supported by Windows Media Player 11. The new players have more processing power ans capacity which means they have the potential to support more protocols/audio formats natively (i.e. can be played without a PC). The older players (e.g SB3) memory is full and so will not support more formats natively. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68224 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
