Thanks for the replies. They were a big help. I suspected that Slimserver was essentially pushing packets to what ever target requested them. It is also a big help to know that the MP3 streaming will behave as an independent client from the SB, allowing me to set bitrates and conversion independently.
I will try it and see how it goes. As for converting files to MP3 (rather than streaming), I just received a new Qnap TS-109, which I plan to set up with both my MP3s and FLAC files. Now I just need to work out a way to keep the files organized that allows me to handle the higher bandwidth version of each file when serving via Slimserver but deliver MP3s to iTunes for the sake of transferring to an iPod. It's a nice challenge. Thanks again!
