    Make sure you have bit rate limiting switched off for your player
    -otherise your wav files will be conveted to mp3 - yuk!

        what server version, what players?

        if you have SB2 then the wav files will be converted to FLAC by default since
        that is the first format that SB2 will request.

        SB1 should remain as wav, and should work as long as the bitrate limit is set to
        'no limit'. d_source debugging will show you more of what is happening with
        playback.

          yes, I have an SB2. I didn't know it would convert the wavs to FLAC. that's not what i wanted. is there any way to stop it?

          SlimServer Version: 6.0.2 - 3085
          Player Firmware Version: 11

          cheers

          PS. I've disabled all file format types apart from
          WAV WAV (builtin)

          Enabling the debugging as you suggested gave the following output:

          2005-06-12 22:28:35.2591 Backtrace:

          Having made these changes, ff/rew still doesn't work.

            Yep. Server Settings -> File Types, uncheck the "FLAC / WAV / flac" line.
