Why Sonos reads those tags and SBS doesn't is a puzzle to me, too. Both SBS and Sonos _should_ be looking for a "particular format" because that's how it's done. Even closed, proprietary formats like ALAC have standards that all programs that read or write ALAC tags should follow.
Maybe the SBS scanner is using outdated standards. After all, Apple is known to change formats a bit capriciously, although if the SBS scanner were out of date I would expect to see other complaints, as you're not the only one using ALAC. Or maybe Sonos is more forgiving of tagging errors. I don't know. In this case snottmonster's offer to see if one of the problem files works on his SBS system could be useful in debugging things. If you are still willing to put more time into it, I also like toby10's suggestion of running SBS 7.5.4 on your computer, pointing it to the library on the NAS. That may be an unacceptable way for you to run your network audio system, but it would at least resolve some of the puzzles about why SBS is not working for you when it really _does_ work for most people. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87448 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
