The docs in convert.conf are confusing. Here it says specifically that I
can't be very specific, I just have to say "squeezebox":

I checked the code to help my fading memory :) and the option to force
flac to flac transcoding is at the discretion of plugins. We did that
with Michael and it is enabled (and only for Boom/SB3/Duet) with
streaming services like Tidal where user has no choice of how the file
was encoded. The

Ah, ok. Thank you.
So I lifted that transcode entry, and just stuck it in
custom-convert.conf:

There is this at the bottom of convert.conf:
Code:
I would need to look at the code when we added that but Im sure there
is a forced flac to flac re-encoding for SB exactly for that compression
level. Michael, you might have a better memory than me?

I have no idea. I buy a lot of commercial rips, and as far as I know
there is no way to tell the compression level in a given FLAC file.

There was a fix sometime ago where we enforce transcoding on flac for
classic for that reason, AFAIR. What version do LMS and convet.conf do
you have.

Or, have the server do the decode to PCM.

What is the source of the problem Flac files ?
Have they been highly compressed and/or by a non stand Flac compressor.
You could

There is the Dac32 or Digi32 available from Polyvection although neither
has a screen and can only be controlled from PC or Smartphone i.e. no
remote but sound wise they
I've been running LMS for many years now with minimal problems.
Recently, I've started to notice that certain tracks play back choppy on
my two Squeezebox Classics (squeezebox2). This choppiness is consistent
for a given problematic track. The tracks affected might sometimes be
high bitrate, but
