Lossy WMA is supported natively on the SB (v2+ only I believe), lossless is transcoded (by default to FLAC). In terms of network usage, FLAC is variable but as stated typically 700-1000kbps, WAV/PCM is ~1400kbps. -- radish http://www.last.fm/user/polymeric ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65763 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
