Probably either your renderer or your control point don't support flac natively and this thus requires transcoding into raw pcm (pcm is the baseline lossless format that all UPnP/DLNA devices have to support). The first play of the first flac track has to load up the transcoder application image before doing the actual transcoding, and this consumes a bit more resources. Whereas for subsequent plays, the transcoder application image is already "warm loaded", so it will get going faster. In other words, you are quite close to the borderline of what your PC can handle, so you may want to try stopping other non essential applications when you want to play music. -- AndrewFG Regards, AndrewFG Try out Whitebear.
