2007-02-19 Thread Mark Lanctot
No, the WMA Lossless decoder is built into Windows Media Player. There's no standalone equivalent that could be ported into the Squeezebox firmware. I may be wrong - maybe mplayer can decode WMA Lossless? mplayer could be installed into a LinkStation. I believe AlienBBC uses mplayer? Could
