I can confirm that 24/96 AIFF files played natively on the Touch produce only noise.
Where is it that you're finding the AIFF to FLAC encoding is resampling the music to 16 bits? On my system if I look at the Now Playing information on the Touch it indicates '24Bits'. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ If you need a workaround, or just to be certain that there's no resampling, you can do this: Create a file called 'custom-convert.conf' in the same directory as the file named 'convert.conf', containing the following conversion rule. Code: -------------------- aif flc * * # FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v} [flac] -cs --totally-silent --compression-level-0 $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ -------------------- This will still encode the file into FLAC, but it won't be resampled. The potential downside is that if you have any older Squeezebox players that can't play 24/96 then these 24/96 AIFF files will probably produce the same sort of noise that you were hearing on the Touch. -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92935 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
