For one, it showed *:L16 is not a supported format. Second, it showed that WAV was started but the stopped. I attached a copy of the log for viewing. I also sent this to the Resolution Audio folks.

I saw something similar (started and then stopped) in the MinimServer log that you sent previously. It seems there is something in the transcoded WAV file that the renderer doesn't like. At the moment, I don't know what this is.

One possibility is that the length of the transcoded stream (default 4GB) is too large for the renderer to handle. Can you try setting the stream.transcode property to *:wav-10MB to see whether this makes a difference?

Well we have semi success. This setting does result in the renderer playing music, but only in one minute chunks. At the end of a minute I have to hit the play button again and the song continues. If during that minute there is a transition to another song that song will play for the rest of that one minute chunk. Then it is time to hit the play button again. I have noticed that going from -10MB to -25MB gives me over 2 minutes of music. I guess I can play around with that until I get a decent number of minutes. If you have any other suggestions they would be appreciated.
