7.3 brought some changes to the convert.conf file that caught me out also. There are now capabilities that have to be specified. If you've overwritten your convert.conf grab a fresh one 'here' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=6416&d=1229318366). Just rename it to convert.conf and you'll have all of the new notes in the file. your line for mplayer should look something like: mov wav * * # FR [mplayer] -novideo -ao pcm:file=/dev/fd/4 $FILE$ 4>&1 1>/dev/null What you should do is create a custom-convert.conf with your filetypes above so that your convert.conf doesn't get overwritten by your next install of SqueezeCenter. If your binaries for faad2 and lame are installed in /usr/local/bin SqueezeCenter should have no trouble finding them. -- 4mula1 SqueezeCenter 7.3.1 + Solaris 10 x86: Because everything else would've been easy!
