To clarify, the last questions were posed by me, a fellow MinimServer user, rather than the author.

Depends what you mean. I use a single Sonos 'target', that has been configured to be the lead of a group of Sonos units. It has been the only way I have found to play a Sonos group. If I make the renderer one of the others in an existing group, I get no playback. That has been true since I tried using the Minim/Bubble combo.

If you want stereo/multiroom playback then yes you need to play to the master, but the last time I tried, if I played to one of the slaves it played from just that speaker, but things may have changed.

Album The Murder Wall
Artist Kaprekar's Constant
Duration 6:15
Stream#1 MP3,128 kbps,stereo,44100 Hz, with a longish URL that I can see no way of copying to put into the code string.

Does the MP3,128 kbps,stereo,44100 Hz, indicate it IS being re-coded ?

It only indicates transcoding if the source file isn't MP3@128. Try doing the same on a track you know is of better quality.

If you click on the track's URL in BubbleUPnP does it download successfully, and, with the local renderer selected, does it play back successfully in BubbleUPnP?

I take it you've tried a number of different albums?

I guess you could put the log in Trace mode to see if anything shows up with the transfer, but only do that if @simoncn thinks it's worth it.
