Cross post.
Flac will ensure you get the quality delivered by the stream. If you
chose an AAC+ stream for quality - recompressing into MP3 may result in
losing that quality. Unless bandwidth is a problem - it is generally
not desireable to transcode a lossy format into another lossy format.
The entries disabled means SQueezeCenter either can't find or access
aacmplayer.sh or it is not marked executable. The aacmplayer.sh file
should be in the AACplus/Bin directory.
Did you check the permissions on aacpmplayer.sh to make it is
