FWIW WMAL is definately a problem if you use a NAS such as Infrant. When
running the SB from the embedded SlimServer in the Infrant's OS, there
is *no* transcoding option. It refuses to open the file. Not the
end-all I know for a lot of users, but I wanted to point it out. Others
have commented on
Perhaps this thread is getting off-topic, but I wonder - on an undamaged
disc where EAC doesn't have to re-read, is EAC more accurate?
Does C2 error correction, Secure mode and Accurate Stream improve
reading beyond just brute-force re-reading?
I would think so, but I'm not sure how these techno

Actually, that's one of the main reasons I am changing to FLAC. I am
using replay gain. The problem is that there's no way to volume level

There should be no audible difference between EAC and Audiograbber FLAC
files at all (unless one of them is adding some gain compenstaion or
normalisation) otherwise they wouldn't be truly lossless.

I have ripped a rather large number of files to WMA Lossless and am now
converting to FLAC.
To me the transcoding is not the problem, but lack of volume leveling
is. There is apparently no support for WMA Lossless volume leveling
tags in the SlimDevices system (hardware or software).

What does this mean? I've just started messing around with flac, and I

I doubt it. The only devices that support WMA Lossless right now are
those that run a Microsoft operating system (Windows Mobile phones and
PDAs, Portable Media Centers, and of course PCs).
That said, it hardly matters. I have a WMA Lossless library, and the
