It was added in a firmware update if and only if you have a SB2 or higher. The SB1 don't have the brainpower to handle it. Also, SB1 only have 11b, not 11g, so bandwidth is marginal for FLAC/wav Plus the SB2 has double the buffer space, so it can handle small dropouts without being noticed. The combination is a triple wammy I never could get my SB1s to do FLAC or wav well enough for serious listening. So I ran a wire to my main one. For the other room, with less serious speakers, wireless works fine (compressed on the server). Wireless FLAC users really want to upgrade to a SB2, which may be easier now that the SB3 is out. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
