Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Does Squeezebox Server stream 24 bit Apple Lossless files?

The Song info of the Squeezebox Server shows Sample Size: 16 Bits. The ALAC file is converted from Flac via Max. The Song info of the Flac file shows Sample Size: 24 Bits. I played the ALAC file with Quicktime and the media info shows 24 bit. -- vincentyan

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Does Squeezebox Server stream 24 bit Apple Lossless files?

It seems to me that Squeezebox Server simply trims the file to 16 bit and then sends to my transporter. Is that true? -- vincentyan vincentyan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17868 View

AIFF is native, but how can I fastforward on SB3? I couldn't find the button in Squeezecenter. It would be quite nice if I can fastforward and rewind. -- vincentyan vincentyan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com

Thanks for the tip. My AIFF files do have the extension of m4a (so they are not native AIFF files?). I then go to WAV: file type is .WAV and shown in iTunes as WAV type. Still can't find how to FF/RW in SB3. How does it work? -- vincentyan

? It was strange that some of the AIFF songs in my iTunes library are .m4a files - those imported uncompressed from Grarageband. Well of course this is an iTunes issue and I guess I have to inquire Apple about that. -- vincentyan
