Bugzilla – Bug 14612
WMA Lossless on radio
Last modified: 2009-10-25 05:12:52 UTC
From http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69261: I got my first two Radio's delivered while at the office today. Just now I got back home and connected the "baby" to SBS and powered it up. However, I have serious sound quality issues. The Radio seems to have big issues with playing a lot of my WMA Lossless based music connection. I have the Boom sitting in the same spot and it plays everything just fine, so does my SB3's. I've tried switching between to see if it could be SBS related, but only the Radio struggle. I also checked the settings to see if I had limited the rate for the Radio and was doing any additional transcoding on SBS. No luck. The sound breaks up, crackles and songs seems to run "slower" than they should. I've only tested a few albums yet, but like 3 out of 4 shows the problem.

QA this needs testing, as I don't have a baby available this week.
Does the fix only turn off the local decoding instead of fixing it? Should the baby support this locally or not?

This bug has been marked as fixed in the 7.4.1 release version of SqueezeBox Server! Please see the Release Notes for all the details: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Release_Notes If you haven't already, please download and install the new version from http://www.logitechsqueezebox.com/support/download-squeezebox-server.html If you are still experiencing this problem, feel free to reopen the bug with your new comments and we'll have another look.
Why is this bug closed? The current "fix" is just a workaround in that it just disables functionality which should be there? How will the work continue on this if the bugs are just closed after a temporary workaround is found? The marketing material for the baby includes support for various lossless codecs and mine even had problems with FLAC (When I transcoded my WMA Lossless to FLAC on SBS), which old time Squeeze-users expect to still work. I think the baby has quite a few bugs and was released to market way to early, and it is important to keep the bugs active so one can show that the product needs more work, maybe more resources allocated to fix bugs?
