If you look in convert.conf for the line: 'flc flc transcode *', you'll notice that the command line after that includes: --skip=$START$ --until=$END$ This is how the flac files are handling the skipping of tracks. if you wish to have this work with your APE files, you will need to have similar command line options for the software codec that handles APE. I do not believe that mac currently supports skipping, so you have your work cut out for you if you want to solve this with the default installation. if you can find another APE software codec that works, then you could try that.

[slim] Re: OT: Power line network adaptors (was: Okay, maybeit's time to call it a day...)
Taken from http://www.solwise.co.uk/net-powerline.htm These were the results: quote PL14 - 14Meg Homeplug adapter: 7.5Mb/s PL85 - 85Meg Homeplug Turbo adapter: 25Mb/s 54g Wifi - 14Mb/s end quote Note the big difference in favour of the 85meg powerline network vs wireless G.I would be interested to see a comparison with turbo G - like my US Robotics 125mbps wireless connection. You pay approx £27 in the UK for the old 14mbps units and £47 for the faster model. I'm sure wireless is fine for average Slimserver to SB activity -I use a mixture of the technologies at home and with a SB2 and Slimpey, and experience no problems piggy backing over both the wireless and powerline network. Once you start introducing a SB in every room, and start whacking video data down the network to/from your living room to record/watch tv etc. it becomes a different matter and you may find the extra bandwith/reliability useful of either a fully CAT5 wired or 85mbps Powerline network. -- jhall_uk ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Remaining Time In Playlist
As far as I can see, the only remaining time function that I can display is time remaining in current track. Is this correct? The time remaining function that I would find most valuable is time remaining in current playlist (if I sit down to listen to an album I want to know when the album will be finished not just the current track). Is this possible? If not then I think it would be a really useful enhancement. It would need to be carefully implemented at the server level because a playlist is potentially a dynamic entity but the server is the gatekeeper to any playlist changes so it could make the necessary dynamic adjustments if tracks are added or deleted and personally I would be happy if the client display was re-checked at the end of each track to check for dynamic playlist changes.
