While any codec is good to have done on the device itself, AAC won't
have any real benefit since Apple Fairplay still isn't licenced - so
iTunes downloads will still be unplayable.

If you don't mind me asking, where do you get
96/24 FLAC streams? Not off a CD as that's
44.1/16. Not off an SACD or DVD-A due to DRM...so
how do you get them? Off vinyl or tape with a
high-end audio card?
Sure support would be great but these files must
be very uncommon as they have an

But being able to FF/REW in AAC files would be nice though.

Wow, just got my Squeezebox 3 right before the weekend and have been
playing with it since. Love it, and thanks for allowing me to free
the music... Slimserver 6.2.1 worked like a charm on the XP box used,
no crashes so far.

Why do we have all these calls for various native decoding capabilities

there's not a big advantage.
May be not a huge advantage, but FFWD/REW is only possible when
transcoding is not done.

FFWD Co. won't work with transcoded streams. And I'm running slimserver
on
Remembering the position _within_ a song is also only possible for
native formats. This is e.g. necessary if you use the bookmark plugin
of kdf which saves the current playlist along with the current song and
the position within the current song. That's why I would be very pleased
if ogg vorbis
For me, Ogg Vorbis is my encoder of choice for audio books and other
vocal material. For this, I would love to have the ability to FFRew.
Meny podcasts are now availabe in ogg and mp3, but I always go for mp3
because of this issue.

I'm sure this has come up on

It's not a matter of code space or CPU speed, just that we are at a
point of vastly diminishing returns now for adding new codecs. WMA was
needed for DRM and streaming radio support, but beyond that there is
not much benefit to native Ogg etc. That's not to say we'll never
Thanks Sean for the feedback. It's good to hear that code space and CPU
speed are not the limitations. Sounds like lots of potential on the
platform.
Looks like good appetite for native OGG decoding (especially the
fwd/rew feature...). I as well am thinking of a quiet, lower-power
server like
