A couple of questions - are you using ITunes at all (either the update

How is your music library set up - networked drive or on the hard drive

What browser / what skin ?
Wired or wireless connection for the SB ?

Hi, no - I'm not using iTunes.

There is no point in changing your mp3 into flac files. By encoding
into mp3 you have already lost data.
If you want to have flac files you have to re-rip and encode to flac.
Simply re-encoding mp3 files to flac will only accomplish creating good
copies of lossy files.
Once you have the flac
flac does not support embeded art.
