Dos anyone know why this happened? What changed in the new releases? The songs all played perfectly before upgrading my OS and to 7.4.1. -- rdb001 rdb001's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13097

There don't seem to be any bugs open at the moment that match your issue. What happens when you disable native playback of AIFF and thereby force transcoding to FLAC? Have you tried the 7.4.2 nightly? There could have been a fix that had the side-effect of fixing your issue. -- dsdreamer

I seem to be having trouble with all AIFF files now that I switched to 7.4.1 on Snow Leopard. Issues range from hiss/noise on the last two seconds of tracks to no music/all noise on other tracks. The server is set to AIFF native. -- rdb001

Audacity will convert ALAC to AIFF. It's free. It's also a very good audio file editor. And cross-platform, incidentally. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ On 15 Oct 2009, at 22:47, USAudio wrote: USAudio;472723 Wrote: I've been running the conversion process from Apple Lossless to AIFF

This is my approach, too, for the same reason coupled with my perfect contentment with iTunes' tagging and cataloguing, which therefore disqualifies FLAC. AIFF retains tags, as you suggest. I've found no issues apart from disc space, unless you intend to use a wireless network and your

Wouldn't the default SC setup have it transcoding AIFF to FLAC? That would fix the network bandwidth issues. -- radish 'HELP ME RAISE MONEY FOR CHILDREN'S CANCER RESEARCH!' (HTTP://WWW.ADAMREEVE.COM/24IN24/) http://www.last.fm/user/polymeric

Has that changed? I thought SC used to play AIFF as native. Either way, there's no reason not to use AIFF with Squeezebox apart from disc space (and perhaps a bit of processing power), and a good many reasons to use it if one is running a Mac. On 15 Oct 2009, at 14:46, radish wrote:
