Interesting. You seem to propose a combination (flac to MP3 transcoding) that does not work with my set up (unfortunately). When trying to set "flac:wav24/mp3, ....", MinimWatch tells me this is an unsupported transcoding combination 'flac:mp3'.

Am I missing something?
Can I change this somehow?

FYI I'm running MinimServer 0.8.2 update 42, MinimStreamer 0.4.3 and MinimWatch 0.8.2 update 23.

Thanks for your answer.

You are correct that flac to mp3 transcoding isn't supported. You can transcode network streams to mp3 but you can't transcode local files to mp3. I will edit my post to correct this.

Thanks for clarifying.
Perhaps needless to add, at least I would find it a useful feature to be able to transcode local flac files to MP3 as well.
