Yes that what i do :) but LMS has a bitrate limiter that uses LAME mp3 , it uses more cpu than SoX utility to transcode flac wav and hirez . And it has quality settings , if you use a high quality setting for lame and bitrate limiting you will see a lot of cpu usage and the cpu must have fpu for it to work . Some older x86 cpus has not so great fpu implementations and this shows in such case ARM just can't use LAME . I noticed this in the pre spotify age when I used bitrate limiting to stream music to softsqueeze when staying at hotels or similar locations away from home with limited bandwith There is an alternative shine encoder described in the wiki . There are other use for the bitrate limiter it is actually very usefull if a wifi player has not so great reception or if you use in the garden far away from the AP etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94619 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
