[slim] SqueezeSlave 0.8 - files with accents/diacritics

2009-02-23 Thread jimwillsher
Hi all, I've just downloaded SqueezeSlave and it seems excellent. Until now I've used SoftSqueeze (along with three SB hardware units) but never needed the GUI. I'm running SqueezeSlave on Vista (x64). My setup is SC7.3 on Linux, with music shared via a mounted drive to my Windows server. All

Did you check? I don't think it's the name, it's the file type. flac will be transcoded to mp3 if bandwidth limiting is on. -- ralphy ralphy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3484 View this

Yes, that's right. The squeezeslave player type defaults to bandwidth limiting enabled and without lame installed you can't disable it. Enjoy. -- ralphy ralphy's Profile:
