Hi,
Just recently I've been buying a few High Resolution items, these are
mostly encoded as 24bit96khz FLAC files. My Slimdevices Squeezebox 3
plays them back perfectly and they sound great...but I was wondering if
it was performing any sort of conversion (to 16bit44.1khz perhaps)
before playing

Hi,
Is there anyway of changing the text colour on the newer touch based

I agree with TerryS on this (noting PL's point about dither). I don't
think the evidence for the roughness of 16 bit CD sound is a subtle
audio point. Listen to any recording of a string quartet when they play
a quiet passage and the roughness of the sound is perfectly obvious. On

Really? Then why does it have the options under 'Interface' for long and
short date formats (DD/MM/ etc.)? Not saying that you're wrong, just
seems rather odd to me if that's the case.

Aren't the long and short date formats options related to the

garym is correct that those are SB clock formats, not formats for the

You can probably achieve what you want by creating an ALBUMSORT and/or

Yes the ninth. I have no idea whether it's true, but I have heard
various versions.
I recall reading an article in recent years celebrating an anniversary
of the CD format. In it they discussed the facts and myths surrounding
the format's development, including why 74 minutes and so forth. If I
remember correctly, they even spoke with members of the team or the key
developer.

If you read the paper they are open for that you can not prove
