I'm not even going to pretend to be able to tell. I'm temporarily living in a condo with 0 acoustical treatment and hardwood floors. Also, I'm listening to my system (which is out in the living room) from the 'office' (off to the side) through a set of french doors. The only discernable

Gonna buy TP this holiday seasonI have large FLAC (album sized) files with cue sheets, ripped from EAC. I'll need to do decoding to wav, regardless, right, unless I want to listen to one large album file (or is that silly concept even an option)? So the only downside (other than no ff or

Thanks. I have a very resolving system (Modwright pre, Moscode 401HR amp, Sason speakers) so once I have the TP and ehernet set up I'll test it (server vs player decode) and chime back in with my $.02. Thanks for all the quick and detailed help on this forum. -- ted_b

As an aside for anyone else using a ReadyNAS to run SS:Switching the setup has improved my iometer results as well. SS decode vs. TP must unload the NV processor. No more music dropouts, quicker SS response, and quicker data access/backup, nice! Lesson learned. -- Jetlag

Fwd and rwd should work with FLAC, as long as you are streaming FLAC to your Transporter/Squeezebox (rather than decoding FLAC to WAV in Slimserver)... I think fwd/rwd should work with any format that is natively decoded in the Transporter/Squeezebox -- PhilNYC Sonic Spirits Inc.

FF and RW are a little confusing (at least they were to me). Press and hold the FF button for a few seconds. When you release it, the song will begin to FF and continue until you hit PLAY (I think), and then it will go back to normal speed. It's not like other FF buttons that you hold down

No, it's not the most intuitive implementation of fast forward and fast rewind. Kyle is correct, but I also think that the longer you hold it down the faster it's supposed to forward (or rewind). As usual, I may be wrong (and frequently am). MC -- ModelCitizen Now what? Transporter Naim NAP

You press-and-hold FF or REW to fast-forward or rewind. Once it's seeking, press it again momentarily to change the speed. It will go from 2X to 4X to 8X to 16X, etc. To resume play, press PLAY. -- Mark Lanctot Mark

PhilNYC is right on this. If your flac file contains more than one track (i.e. the flac file contains a cuesheet) then your flac gets transcoded flac to flac by slimserver and intra-track FF RW is not supported. -- gharris999

My songs are all individual FLAC files ripped using EAC~Secure w/accuraterip plugin. The tracks from each individual CD are ripped, transcoded and tagged, then put into it's own folder (foder names=CD titles). I'm not using cue sheets at all. Each track is a separate FLAC file. I have SS

You have FLAC/FLAC disabled for some reason, so it's transcoding to WAV, hence no FF/REW. Re-enable FLAC/FLAC and it should be fine. -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this
