For best quality for BBC Radio install the BBC iPlayer plugin to get AAC streams

There are one or two stations that stream FLAC

See

http://radio.cesnet.cz:8000/cro-d-dur.flac

But this will not currently play on a Squeezebox.

Try Foobar on the PC or VLC on any platform

Thanks Gentlemen.

I am. Just flitting about from one post to another at the moment getting up to speed.

I still have to check a lot of the online radio feeds out. I'm currently spending a lot of time with EAC creating flac files for all my favourite CDs. I'm also trying to sort out a problem with the SB receiver dropping out all the time. My PC connection to the router is dying regularly now too. I think it's partly because of McAfee firewall I have installed.

The receiver problem could be distance from the router. I'm going to plug it into another phone socket closer to my stereo and see if this helps.

Hi Bernie

If your wireless connection is dropping out I'd suggest the best way to connect is with ethernet cable.
That way you'd have the dependability a wired connection affords. It would potentially have higher bandwidth than a wireless connection too.

If it is difficult to run cable then you could use Homeplugs and run the data over your electrical mains. There are certain caveats to this approach - if your server and receiving device are on different rings then you may have connection issues. You should also plug a Homeplug device directly into a wall socket - extension boards also cause connection issues.

There is another issue to hand too.
The folks at Slim Devices always recommended that the server side link to your router was wired, as two wireless hops from server to receiving unit could be pretty flaky

[Canetoad]

Thanks for the heads up Chris. There's plenty of information available on the net regarding this but not much that is of any help. I have ordered a cat5 ethernet cord to connect the PC to the router. I'll get to the bottom of it sooner or later.
