Hi, i have some ALACs in verry high quality, 24-bit 96 kHz wich don't play well in Subsonic.
LAME version 3.98.4
ffmpeg version 0.6.1

I'm running 4.2 (build 1944) on OS X and i have tried altering the transcoding settings for m4a:
Step 1: ffmpeg -i %s -f wav -ar 44100 -ac 2 -
Step 2: lame --preset cbr %b --tt %t --ta %a --tl %l -S - -

But this has no affect what so ever.

Everything else works fine and dandy.

Can somebody help me?

Thanks so much!!!
It seems to work like a charm, i'm testing it at work now :) :lol:

Okay, this only works with my vinyl rips, all other files now sound like Alvin and the chipmunks.. :cry:
I have created a new player called 'vinyl' and assigned the above transcoding for that player only. Maybe this is the solution?
