Can you share your convert.conf for softsqueeze? I tried a few combinations and couldn't get it to work... RE: why transcoding is picked: I thought I read a while back that whole album flacs are always transcoded because you can't easily/precisely seek within the compressed stream. You need to uncompress the track you want, then recompress it again... This is from memory only.
