Thanks bpa, I'll investigate further. I have used the urls in a pls with no success, but I am able to play AAC+ (HE-AAC) mp4 files resident on the PC. I am running XP SP2 and have LAME and Mplayer installed together with AlienBBC. I normally play these streams on Winamp and copy the urls across to Slim Server. Although "now Playing" info shows up there is no sound played.
