Hi Carl
Thanks for the info.......obviously only joking on the "jazz" spelling.....and was referring to the thread on here about a year ago about UK versus US spelling, and in particular, the use of Z instead of S in many US Spellings.....

As regards Sooloos, please Don't go to any trouble trying to find out those answers......just thought you might have come across them in your ripping etc.

In my experience, 192kbps MP3 would take up about 20% or 60Mb of the space that a Lossless Album would take up.........When ripping 1,450 ALbums, this would add about 87Gb to the storage requirements.......not an insignificant amount when one is working with 500Gb on the C15 or MC200.......If you have MP3 Transcoding switched off, then your 1,450 Albums in 467Gb approx, provides people with a decent rule of thumb (467Gb after allowing for Base 2 rather than Base 10)

As regards the ControlPC being limited to MP3 only, I thought that the Source info might have been transparent.......I.e. The Screen would show you format of the file being played.......obviously, your computer must be Transcoding on the fly whilst streaming.....otherwise, it would be playing the native FLAC file

The main reason I ask is that if this MP3 Only Restriction had indeed been lifted then Sooloos might become a more attractive proposition to those who wanted Zones in different parts of the house, where Computers were already used.......using SPDIF Out (or Async USB / FireWire) out of those Computers to local Processors \ Players e.g. F80's
