Wild shot, but your FLAC further above shows an older version was used. You might want to try upgrading your FLAC tool(s) to v1.2.1 and re-encode one of the problem albums to see if it might be a FLAC bug. I distinctly remember there was a bug in FLAC regarding encoding from stdin when a WAV conta

The WHS bug only effects multiple drives in the storage pool. I've only got one so I'm ok. I've just installed the latest nightly of SC 7.0.1 and the track that wouldn't play now does! I suppose I should really reinstall the 7.0 release and see if it fails again. -- consciouspnm
