My guess (only a guess!) is that this is due to the fact that Apple Lossless isn't as efficient as FLAC. Not trying to start an OS debate, I've just noticed while testing that ALAC files are *always* bigger than FLAC. I assume SqueezeCenter is telling you the bitrate of the ALAC file, transcoding it to FLAC, then reporting the bitrate of the FLAC. -- atrocity ------------------------------------------------------------------------ atrocity's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16009 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69512 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
