I use a Squeezebox Receiver and buy songs off iTunes. However when playing these files it can be slow and the Receiver seems to get out of sync with the Squeezebox Server (something to do with converting AAC to FLAC before playback on the fly I believe)
Therefore I propose to convert to FLAC before hand. Just converted a song using dBpoweramp and the file size has increased significantly! Does anyone know where all this extra data has come from? I don't want to degrade the original file by introducing unwanted data.
I understand that a compressed lossless file can be increased in size back to it's original file but I thought a lossy compressed file can't and the data lost in transit is irrecoverable!
Hope someone can help.
Thanks. Matt
