Getting LMS to convert FLAC to WAV

[AndyN]

I have had a search and cant find the answer to the above.

I would like to try getting the LMS to undertake the conversion of FLAC to WAV format rather than relying on the Touch. I guess this must be possible as I see in the LMS/settings/advanced tab then File Types there are a number of options under the FLAC and WAV settings. Cant say I understand what they do though. A previous post indicated that the first match takes precedence but I still dont see WHAT selections to make - perhaps I am being dense??

My current settings are:-
FLAC
AIFF flac
FLAC native
MP3 disabled
PCM flac

WAV
FLAC flac/sox
MP3 Disabled
PCM Native

Is there a writeup on these settings anywhere? And how do I change them (or others) to force the LMS to do the conversion??

Thanks in advance

Today I came up with the some question/problem.

Obviously nobody knows the explanation as you get no reply since long time.

? But this is actually a non problem or a self inflicted one , there is rarely a piont in changing anything in file types from the default settings . Especially as this usually brings out unpredictable transcoding issues in other situations .

The WAV is better than FLAC myth is hard to kill and this q is also answered many times so a simple search will bring out answers

The solution is actually to not get LMS to convert FLAC to WAV in other words do nothing but enjoy the music !

Read IV. section 1.6 of the TT3.0 instructions below and there is a picture of what your file settings should be for FLAC in order to send it as a WAV (PCM) to the TOUCH rather than a FLAC.
