It's not a plugin but an App and purchasing it is a single click of a button, I don't think anybody EVER found that difficult. It's what hundreds of millions of iPhone users do every day. Purchasing the In-App-Purchase is also just two clicks and also not an issue for anybody. The complicated

Thanks for the advice - but the lost metadata issues that may arise from converting 1100+ WAV albums is really concerning. I tried it last night with one artist and six albums using dbpoweramp and mp3tag and it was far from automatic as I had to do one album at a time for mp3tag to recognize the

If you're using a Mac you could get Max to do wav - flac conversion. However, I'd try something else before that: use iTunes to do wav - alac (apple lossless) and see how your SB server copes with on-the-fly transcoding (needed with recent players?) My old-style players won't do AAC or ALAC but
