Hello-
I'm using Slimserver 6.2.2 on Gentoo Linux, and never experienced a
problem with mp3 files.
I have recently started the process of re-ripping my music to flac
files. I ripped 16 albums using grip with the following flac command
line options:
-V -o %m %w --replay-gain --tag=TITLE=%n --tag=ALBUM=%d --tag=ARTIST=%a
--tag=YEAR=%y --tag=GENRE=%G --tag=TRACKNUMBER=%t

So far all is well and good, I tried listening to the files with xmms
and experienced no problems. 
Unfortunately the same cannot be said when I try to listen to the flac
files with my Squeezebox 1.  On a number of albums, when I play using
either "Browse by Music Folder" or "Browse by Album", etc.  The first
song will play just fine, but instead of going to the next track the
squeezebox seems to get stuck at the end of the current track. If I
press the forward button on the remote control, the squeezebox goes to
the next song and plays it just fine but then will typically run into
the same problem with that track.  This issue will arise with every
track on an album or not at all.
Another problem I've run into is that some flac files output no sound
when played through the squeezebox, even though other songs on the same
album play just fine.

This is really quite puzzling to me as the flac files appear to be
fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm eager to move to
entirely FLAC based music library.
Thanks
-Jason


For example the following track won't play on my squeezebox, all I get
is silence, but it plays fine through xmms.
