Hello, I would recommend you to use a stable version of SqueezeCenter. Furthermore, you will need a program to convert ALAC to a format supported by the Squeezebox. I know that on Linux it is alac. According to this thread (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52502), on Windows and

What is happening is SC thinks the file is a MOV type (Apple Quicktime compatible) file to be transcoded into MP3. You have not defined any decoder for MOV (in windows and OSX it uses mov123) and so SC fails to decoder. Linux system need decoders defined for AAC/M4A formats. From your log.

You're right - it should be examined as a bug becausde it is a problem for Linxu users. I was also correcting the user assumption that SC had identified the file type as MP3. The problem will only appear for Linux users as Linux will not have a MOV decoder defined by default. I wonder
