Ok..now I understand what the purpose of this update is. I wasn't aware until tonight that I was not able to use my WMA lossless files when running the touch from it's internal server with a USB device source. It doesn't recognize the wma lossless files without the SBS software running on my compu

There seems to be a slight glitch with the artwork scan with this 7.6 version. I reverted back to the latest 7.5 beta and it did an artwork scan as a part of the initial new or changed music scan. That brought all of the artwork back to normal. I never noticed the 7.6 version doing an artwork scan

I have it installed. When I first started up the SBS with the new software, it went into scanning for new music mode, and when it was done, there were only two CD's showing up. I did a delete and complete rescan, and it finished showing no CD's at all. I then rescanned for new music and all thou

OK what you're describing really has nothing to do with this, you basically did the same thing you can do with FLAC by wrapping the DTS bitstream in another container. That's the only way you can do multichannel with a Squeezebox. -- andyg --

No, because they are stereo devices. WMA does support downmixing to stereo which I haven't yet enabled but plan to look at soon. I think the only way to get surround playback with WMA is with a PC soundcard. On Jul 17, 2010, at 1:21 AM, strindl wrote: > > andyg;562193 Wrote: >> I've spent

I've spent the last few days getting native WMA Pro and Lossless support working on Touch (and Radio). If you have any WMA Pro/Lossless files please give 7.6 a try. You will need SBS 7.6 r31054 or later from http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.6 -- andyg --
