FLAC:wav24, AAC:wav24, mp3:wav24

These settings are fine.

The '*' source type doesn't mean "transcode everything". It means "transcode all network streams of unspecified type".

Quote: I have set up the Radio stations via TuneIn as described in the manual.

OK, this is the problem. This creates a direct connection from the Linn DS to the radio station network URL, so MinimStreamer doesn't get any opportunity to do transcoding on the stream.

To do transcoding using MinimStreamer, you need to route the radio stream via MinimStreamer as well as setting the stream.transcode property. For details of how to set up this routing, see this section.

Here's a sample .m3u file that you can use to play some BBC radio stations:
