Hello Lowlander thanks again. Can you explain the auto conversion facility? I have FLAC AND WAV files (mostly WAV) in media monkey. Now my stream magic can play any of the two file types. I don't want the audio files to be converted whilst being streamed. If they are already FLAC or WAV then I want the player to play them as they are (without and no further conversion required). Does that make sense to you?. So I have disabled all of the Auto conversion and I now see on my stream magic, the FLAC and the WAV Files (so that is good). What I will say though is that whilst the stream magic distinguishes them both in one being FLAC and the other as PCM, it still reports both files as 16 bit 44.1Khz... I guess that this is ok? When I look at the bit rate of the FLAC files in media monkey they are around 800, whereas the WAV (PCM) are 1411. What do you think? Many thanks again lowlander.
