I happened to be doing a little reading on Apple Lossless at
wikipedia...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Lossless

And came across the following statement...

The open source library libavcodec now incorporates a decoder for Apple
Lossless format which means that any media player based on that library,
including VLC media player and MPlayer, should be able to play Apple
Lossless files.

However, the SB (I have a version 2 and a version 3) cannot play Apple
Lossless - is that correct?

Is it possible to modify slimserver.conf in such a way that Apple
Lossless could be converted on the fly to something that would play on
the squeezebox? I'm thinking something like wav - or, maybe I will go
to the trouble to get lame installed on my linux slimserver - and then
I could, I guess, transcode to something like mp3/320bps...

Any thoughts on this?

Too bad, since Apple Lossless has an open source decoder - that this
can't be placed in the SB firmware - then one could have 1 lossless
format easily tagged and playable by iTunes and SB!
