I'll continue to follow the thread with interest. Agreed - there is more than likely a simply answer!
The only other thing I can think of which is strange is that when I set-up my server in the first place, I followed the guide on the wiki which tells you how to play different audio formats under Linux (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?AAC). This states you should use the "mov wav * *" entry in convert.conf. This has never worked for me (I just get a load of digital static noise) which is why after searching these forums I switched to using "mov aif * *". I don't have a good enough understanding of how convert.conf works to tell whether this change is relevent or not, but since I am using such a standard linux system (Fedroa Core 4) I would have expected the recommended default settings to work OK. Does this mean the wiki is incorrect, or is there something else going wrong on my system which I am working-around by using the "mov aif * *" option?
