Hello Ceejay, The problem is streaming WMA files in native format. I donot want transcoding the WMA files into MP3 format. I could not download Slimserver 6.2.2, because, when I tried downloading from this link, I get only 6.2.1 version for Windows. (http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html)

b_prem, I'm still not sure what you are trying to do here. Is your problem with WMAs or AACs? Can you play the files in Softsqueeze? Are you trying to stream WMA files out as an WMA stream to your own client, or do you want it transcoded into MP3? Is your client emulating a Squeezebox, or a

Native WMA playing has only recently been added to the Squeezebox firmware, not sure if its made it into Softsqueeze yet (you mention version 2.2 which makes me think you mean Softsqueeze rather than Squeezebox). Slimserver will play AAC files, though the extension is more usually M4A, I think -
