Thanks for taking time to reply. Sorry if I've not been clear or provided enough information previously. I run a local LMS on a Netgear ReadyNas x86 + Linux; the Squeezeplay client runs on Windows 7. I'm pretty sure it does get AAC as I had problems with BBC Radio London a few years ago and concluded that was the problem. I'll keep watching and waiting. Thanks for the description. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cathcam's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43414 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
