Hi guys,
I am looking for a way to play my flac collection on my decent HiFi system (Denon + Cabasse). But I backup cue and single flac files.
I know squeezebox for year, and I know it supports flac and cuesheets but in the FAQ it's mentionned that cuesheets are only supported with mp3.
A post on this forum confirms the fact that it was compatible with flac/cue but not anymore. (it dates back to 2005)
Has anymone a solution ? How do you listen to your FLAC ?
thanks.

That is correct - I tried using FLAC/CUE on my Squeezebox a few months back and it didn't work very well.
I just transcode everything to track-separated FLAC files when I transfer music to the computer running Slimserver. Obviously this doubles the storage requirements, but I figure every bit of redundancy helps for backup purposes, especially since my ripping PC and Slimserver PC are different computers.
do you have one of the denon receivers that supports flac out of the box? I'm curious to know what all they support because I don't have any to test.

Can you not get one on loan for 'test' purposes
I just tried Squeezbox with Squeezcenter with a single image FLAC with cue.
It is working for me on WinXP, but when I started the cue file, it take 4-5 seconds to start it (my PC is quiet fast), but it works.
On this thread I read that playing with a cue file it works by that SqueezeCenter should extract the single flac track from the image, and then playing it.
So it must take a while if some have a slowed PC I guess.
As I read "in 7.1, when you had a flac + cue file, squeezecenter was using flac to extract the track from the "big" flac file and then sent it to the squeezebox with flac again."
"In 7.3.2, the second step is done with sox." For this, sox with flac support is needed, but if I read correctly it is shipped with SqueezeCenter so that should not be problem.
Some mentions that the C:\Program Files\SqueezeCenter\server\convert.conf file can be modified so that flac will be used instead of sox.
Original code is this:

Wow, I didn't know that some receivers does support FLAC natively.
Nice
I noticed that Denon AVR-2310 plays FLAC from USB device
Denon AVR-3310 plays FLAC from USB device plus in addition from a NAS with streaming (DLNA).
Looks good stuff.

Hi, I have a Ipod Dock DENON '3N' with a AVR2808. I used foobar with foo_unpnp.dll to stream the flac (all my CD are single FLAC+CUE under foobar). It work fine. sometime, the DENON 3N get down ! (in fact the foo_unpnp.dll is the problem )
