I have been using LMS for several years and I have never really understood these settings. What I don't understand is the term the player wants ( flac or Mp3, etc). What do you mean by the player wants? Does the Touch,SB3, radio, tell LMS a preferred file format? Does not LMS send a format and the player docodesit if it has the capability. I thought it was for X format then send it to the player in Y format. What I never understood was the multiple entries for each file type.
