What should it do with Dynamic Playlists? Party mode with DP will be a bit difficult which - sorry Erland - isn't party mode's fault. DP entries are one of those menu items that play without warning and I have no idea how to identify them. One could turn off the whole menu but then you can't

That would not work. Remember iPeng never actually sees your real files, it only has access to the music library through Squeezebox Server and SBS doesn't allow the changing of tracks. I would love such a feature, too, maybe we should try to find somebody who could write a plugin that does this.

No, the Squeezebox Classic doesn't support 96kHz playback. Only the Transporter, Touch and Radio do. So the server downsamples the 24-bit/96kHz material to 24-bit/48kHz. It makes sense that the streaming bitrate would be approximately halved when going from 96kHz to 48kHz. The bitrate
