Hi, I haven't been to these forums for a long time. Just been doing some
searching but can't find anything that tells me definitively how to
enable the auto downsampling of high res 96/24 or 88/24 FLAC files to
48/24 or 44/24 to play on my SB2.

Just installing mplayer is not sufficient. To use mplayer on any SC/SBS
version you also need to change convert.conf or add a
custom-convert.conf files. IIRC SSODS used to have these changes and

it should work fine with the default settings you don't have to do
anything at all, the servers knows if a Player only supports 24/48 and
take the appropriate steps and runs SOX and FLAC.

According to

209 has a ARM processor and the 209j, 209+ and 209+ II all have PPC of
various speeds.
Either of those can handle AAC decoding but if processor power is an
issue disable encoding into Flac or MP3.
And just to further clarify, the Squeezebox players have *no* storage of
their own. Unlike iTunes and an iPod, the music isn't copied to the
players, it is streamed on demand from the computer running Squeezebox
