If it's not, the sample size and rate shown should be the ones being

Maybe you've synchronized the Touch with another player that doesn't

In this case, the server would transcode the file to something the

If the server doesn't downsample these higher rate files, the Touch

Policy of Squeezebox Server is to never ever change the media files, it
only reads them.
AFAIK, plugins for the fat Squeezebox Server that support ratings (or
other means of tagging music files) do not change tags in files
either, but rather rely on databases entries to store them.

It could work perfectly, but it could also lead to constant
