OK, fanboys tips are good pieces of advice since they are justified. A
fan that can argue has good reasons to be a fan, indeed...

Well, I received my SqueezeBox Classic last friday, and I immediately
fell in love with it... Really a great piece of hardware. I am very
rarely so enthusisatic about manufactured goods ! Really, conceivers
did a great job ! I'm now dreaming of Transporter ! But this unit is
far too expensive in France, compared to US price...

Anyway, I think I will abandon WavPack since I'm not sure of what I'm
hearing : lossy or lossless (understand : the SqueezeBox is connected
to a small Kenwood system, my main system is waiting for a Yamaha
DSP-Z7 HC amplifier, so I am not really able to be sure, since the
hardware has not sufficient "acoustic resolution"). The WavPack file
are though perfectly read, and gaplessly, that is great ! But I think
too that WavPack is transcoded (to FLAC, probably) : I saw in "extra
infos" something like "Wavpack bitrate 198 Kbps (transcoded 706 Kbps)"
The latter bitrate makes me think about FLAC...

So I think I will go on with FLAC. I read on wiki there is a way of
letting EAC rip CD both in FLAC and something else, but I did not found
the proper command line. Would someone be nice enough to let me know how
to do this ? I tried to add another C:\Path\To\codec.exe (and parameters
for this codec) in parameters field, but it doesn't work...

Last question (not so sure ;-) !) : I tried to use VLC to access to
SqueezeCenter, but it seems one can only hear MP3 music through the
stream.mp3 URL. Is there a way to hear FLAC or OGG (or WavPack, only
for personal knowledge and culture) music, or should I move to other
tools like MPD ?

Best regards from a very satisfied and definitely happy customer !
