If you have multiple checkboxes selected, its telling the player that
all of these options are valid. There is then a preset priority list
which varies for each player type depending on its capabilities.

thread for you. But FLAC i

FLAC should be your best bet for transcoding, as it will not further
deteriorate the sound quality by performing an additional lossy
compression, and it will use less bandwidth than WAV. Why not just
check the FLAC box so you will know what you are going to get?

May I tack on a question: I have .m4a playing fine, but mine is an old
PC and I suspect there is quite an overhead for transcoding on the fly.

load on the pc?

If you're asking about the .m4a files produced when you use iTunes to
rip a CD then the answer is yes, the SB will play them. Both the lossy
(AAC) and the lossless (ALAC) variants. Nothing special needs to be
done with them. Obviously, if you want the SB to find them through
iTunes then you need t

I've been searching on these forums for an answer on m4a files. I am
