Phil, I have briefly tried both foobar2000 and WINAMP with their MLP plugins. Both have the capability of playing .mlp files which means that there is a simple way of ripping DVD-Audio discs and playing the files back in their original lossless state on a 5.1 surround system. The bad news is that it all bypasses Squeezecenter and Squeezebox devices. You have to have a device running foobar2000/WINAMP that has analog surround outputs that you plug into a surround receiver/amp that has the corresponding inputs and you are in business. This is not a great solution for me for many reasons but I am encouraged by the momentum, though any squeezebox that would support it would have to have the 5.1 analog outputs and I don't think I have heard anything about that being a possibility. Maybe it is time for me to find a low power PC with the analog outputs and add that to my configuration. Kiwi -- Kiwi SB3 Classic, SB Controller, SB Receiver, 3 x SB Boom, ?
