I've got the Duet. My collection is in Apple Lossless (ALAC).
Is the Squeezebox receiver doing the music file decode or SC 7 is doing
the decode?
I'm getting some performance issue and I'd like to pin point the
problem...

ALAC is transcoded to FLAC on the server first, we don't have ALAC
decoding in the firmware.

That explains the performance issue I'm having:
I use the Synology DS207+ NAS with SSODS to run SC7. When I play an
album full of ALAC files, the first track always skips and pauses in
the first 30 secs. After that, the track seems to play normally.
Subsequent tracks seem to play fine. After

We transcode to FLA
Thanks to all the replies.
I do not see any option in changing from ALAC to WAV. All I see on the
streaming column is to disable flac, disable mp3 or disable wav. I
disabled the 1st two, and left the last one in, but I still experience
pauses during the initial stream.

Why's that a problem? Thats what i would do, FLAC's a better format in
some ways anyway and you wont lose any sound quality as both are
lossless. I would set up Foobar2000

Basically, I'm running the slimserver on a NAS (Synology DiskStation

My server is a Mac MINI with external 500GB drive... that's what I
bought it for and it does nothing else. It's been on 24/7 for 18+
months. No monitor, no kbd... just power and an ethernet cable. All
my files are ALAC and transcoded to FLAC without issue. It boots up,
it works.

Ahh yes, the SD killer. Was Audiotron, then Roku, then Sonos, then
Media Center, now
Hi Eric,
The thought of buying a Mac Mini did cross my mind before I went for a
NAS solution. The problems with Mac Mini are that: 1. it is too
expensive for this application (overkilled), 2. Rumors say either Apple
will drop the Mini or they'll bring out newer models using 3.5" internal
HD.

How about an Eee Desktop?

Not exactly a power house, but still a damned sight more powerful than
a NAS box.

I don't use my iPod much as I find I don't like to go around with
things stuck in my ears. However, my wife uses hers a lot and seem to
like it quite well. I never hear her complain about iTunes and she
seems to do quite well managing her media. I'll let her know about the
bloated player-o
So if I understand you right, everything Apple does or doesn't do is
alright because of people's ignorance? I guess I can see your point
although I don't think it's the right argument.

You know, I'm not done yet.
Apple did this because people were ripping off the music industry every
way possible, i.e. Naps
