fine for me on both the Touch and in SqueezePlay desktop.

I haven't changed log settings, but I verified the logs.
I also did a tail -f server.log while tuning in an internet radio
station. I get a few lines referring to DNS requests. Disk activity
The resampling is working very well, but I notice constant disk activity
while listening to internet radio.
I assume that some temp file is generated and I wonder if there is a
way to have this temp file stored in ram (/dev/shm, for example)
What do you think, how could this be accomplished?

transcoding as in the convert.conf mods above doesn't write to disk, it
is an in-memory operation... so unless your system is paging (ie very
low on free ram) there should be no disk activity...

I have a question about this conversion.
From reading the comments I gather that it's possible to create a
conversion entry for the local squeezeslave only (identified by MAC
address)
I'm wondering if it would make sense to resample and convert to wav?
Since this conversion is limited to local

You will probably want to look at task manager (or whatever equivalent
for Windows 7) to try to see what's going on. One thing this change
does is that ALL streams will now be transcoded. For example, I
believe even a 44.1kHz MP3 will get sent through LAME and transcoded
to 44.1kHz. I think

I've never had the need to mess with the default convert.conf, but from
casual forum browsing I have the impression that you should never edit
convert.conf. Instead, if you want to change the defaults you should
create a custom-convert.conf file with the appropriate entries, and put
that file in
Lame is needed if transcoding to or from mp3 is required.
However i've got no idea what a suitable custom-convert.conf should be.

Softsqueeze can play 48kHz streams - only squeezeslave has this
problem.

Moose is a UI. It does however support running squeezeslave or

I'm running squeezeslave with moose on a Win 7 64-bit machine. Works
great except for a problem with some of the radio stations that suffer
