I think I mostly follow what you are saying here, but are you referring to all 24 bit alac files? I have many other 24bit alac files encoded using other encoders and they play just fine and the receiver reports them as being 24bit. Whilst it may be worth fixing this in LMS to help it's overall robustness, I'm wondering whether the easier solution for myself might be to modify my script that produces these files so that the files are S32le rather than S32be? It seems S32le is more common, so I'm not sure why ffmpeg seems to be defaulting to S32be? Is there a way to specify S32le when converting a file from flac to alac? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pssturges's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66790 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102059 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
