It should do that. Have you set the bitrate limit to off in iPeng? It doesn’t help to do it in 5e server settings, you need to use iPeng‘s settings --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App,

Sorry if this has already been covered. Over wifi when bitrate limiting is set to off the server still transcodes to 320kbps. Is this a new limitation? If I disable the lame encoder on the server it'll playback at 1,411 pcm. Really what I'd expect is that 1,411 pcm is sent when bitrate

Don't believe everything you read on Wikipedia! A "Compilation" album is a much broader term than the narrow definition here. Compilation is a process, not a thing, it is the act of compiling. The compilation of musical tracks is the act of gathering them together in one recording. The

One other little clue: I'm using SpiceFly's replacement interface for MMM and Test Mix Creation works so I know MMM is working correctly. However, it takes a few seconds before the mix is created. I haven't seen that delay on other platforms. Maybe that is causing a timeout between LMS and MMM?
