After multiple aborted attempts with other file formats I settled on wav. It is simple, works great, sounds great with my Squeezebox 3. I have the data on an HP MediaVault NAS device with 2 internal 500GB drives and another USB external 500GB drive. The SB3 connected via toslink to my Integra RDC7.1 playing these wav files sounds amazing, the files I've downloaded from Linn and Music Giants online services are also great. Seems line the Music Giants Super HD had to be written to a CD and then ripped to wav to get it to a format compatible with my SB3. So I am a devotee of the uncompressed music file with the 80 and 160 GB iPods I can even carry around my collection of ~400 CD's + online LPs, great for the long flights. Miller
