Thank you for the quick response. I'm sorry I am a little confused, my fault I might have not clear in my question. Just to make sure. 1) Can I play the downloaded DRM rhapsody files on my pc threw the squeeze box with no broadband network connection. 2) If so, then was what you said about the quality being better playing threw the PCs soundcard souly due to the higher bit rate compared to the Rhapsody UPnP 128 stream and not a file degradation from the encoding to tranmit the files over the PC to sqeezebox network connection? Thank you again so much, sorry for the trouble Frank -- t3sn4f2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ t3sn4f2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12555 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31438 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/squeezenetwork
