It's essentially the same request that people want to serve only the Flac version of music if both Flac and Mp3 versions are present in the library. Maybe your best alternative would to label the albums to differentiate them.

To wake the Touch itself? I doubt it. The philosophy has always been "leave it on". It doesn't even have a power button, like every other Squeezebox. > And won't the Touch transcode at all?

Squeezebox Server has never automatically transcoded lossless to a lossy format when it detected a bad connection (actually, the server has never even detected bad connections - you just get dropouts). But with TinySC on Touch, bitrate limiting is not an option at all. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73380 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
