I tried one song at $2.75 for the Studio master. The Liszt Piano Grand Etudes (track 4) was downloaded as a Studio Master (WMA lossless). It's properties info says it is a 24/88 WMA 9.1 lossless 2 channel, VBR 100 quality, and runs at 2.27mps. Slimserver plays it fine on the Transporter and Squeezebox3, but only when I told Slimserver to convert WMA -> FLAC or WAV (not WMA built in). The players show it as a WMA file, playing at 22.7khz with a bitrate of a high 2283kbps VBR, but I'm not so sure that's not info coming off the tag, not what the network is seeing. Not sure how to know whether I'm hearing true 24/88 on TP (and of course 24/48 on SB3). ? -- ted_b ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ted_b's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3289 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31616 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
