excellent. And I have heard of other experiences with HDTracks that were solved with reencoding the FLAC files. If 24/96, I've read that compression no higher than "5" is best. Easy enough to do in bulk (foobar2000 or dbpoweramp) can handle this and retain all metadata, etc. A few mouseclicks, and even if 50,000 files, you can run overnight or over the course of a day and done.... -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80474 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
