My custom-convert.conf looks like this: # Transcoding for AAC files.
mov flc * *
# F
[faad] -w -f 2 $FILE$ | [flac] -cs –totally-silent –compression-level-0 –endian little –sign signed –channels 2 –bps 16 –sample-rate 44100 -

mov mp3 * *
# FB:{BITRATE=-B %B}
[faad] -w -f 2 $FILE$ | [lame] –resample 44100 –silent -q $QUALITY$ $BITRATE$ -r – -

mov wav * *
# F
[faad] -w -f 2 $FILE$

If that does not copy right, you can search the Slimdevices forum for FAAD and find it.

I am running SC on Windows 2003 Server and I have the same problem with QT which requires XP or Vista. Also, I found an earlier version but this didn’t help and SC was only playing the first 10 seconds without any sound.

But your faad installation tip is great for me *** THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR WORK ****

1. Copy faad.exe to “C:\Program Files\SqueezeCenter\server\bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread”

2. Then go to “C:\Program Files\SqueezeCenter\server” and make a copy of convert.conf. Name the copy custom-convert.conf.

3. Open custom-convert.conf in Notepad. You’ll see there’s a bunch of lines at the top that begin with #. Delete everything that comes after that, and add the following:

mov wav * *
[faad] -w $FILE$

mov flc * *
[faad] -w $FILE$ | [flac] -cs –totally-silent –compression-level-0 –endian little –sign signed –channels 2 –bps 16 –sample-rate 44100 -

mov mp3 * *
[faad] -w $FILE$ | [lame] –resample 44100 –silent -q $QUALITY$ –abr $BITRATE$ -r –big-endian – -

4. Restart the SqueezeCenter service and you should be golden
