I am doing same as you except encoding to FLAC via the FLAC front end tool.
Actually have a problem myself. Recent batch of recording wont play. They play for a few seconds then stutter & slow. Tried the WAV files & they play OK & network is 100% (plus happens on both wired & wireless SBs) so guess not network. Then remembered I updated to latest encoder last week & configured as 8 i.e. max compression. Just ran a few tests on 1 track & found plays fine encoded at 0, & at 4 plays for a bout a minute then produces same symptoms. I dont know what my previous encoded tracks were done at. Guessing the SB hardware not up to uncompressing & then dropping the every other sample. Presume lower compression relieves the load. My serevr is not that powerful (pentium 3 if I remember correctly) but assume this is irrelevant as I guess it just streams the compressed tracks & the SB does the hard work of decompressing. Anyone know for sure? Guess encoding all hi-res stuff at 0 compression would be wise (dont want to use WAV as lose tagging). n.b. actually file size did not chnage hugely between 0 & 8 & curiously at 6 was 1 byte larger than at 5! -- ntom SB3,Perpetual Technologies P1-A/P3-A,Naim82 + 4xNaim135, Martin Logan SL3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ntom's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3197 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47703 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
