I have no problems at all with FLAC files, as I said in my initial post. My query is specifically about APEv2 tags in Wavpack files, & why LMS won't read them. I wasn't clear either... what if you transcoded that wavpack file to flac? -- Michael ___

My problem is not playing the files, but having the tags read. In any case I transcode them in LMS configuration, & the problem is still present. I meant to convert those files from wavpack to flac outside LMS. You could then play the flac files just fine. As both formats are lossless there's

The button is not dark, and it says: "Shuffle - Don't Shuffle Playlist." Also, when I copied that part of the server.prefs it had just turned off shuffle again, but I did look at it one time later before shuffle had reset and it said: "shuffle: 1" --
