transcoding and downsampling help

[sviatapolk]

I've never messed with the settings for transcoding and down sampling and I never installed any separate transcodes myself. And I have a few questions:
-the wiki seems to mp,y that you need to install transcodes. But all my FLAC files have been ending up as smaller than FLAC files on my iSub client (and I turned transcoding off on that, over wifi) so is subsonic in fact performing transcoding?
-my music is either in flac or in mp3. I would like to modify subsonic so that the mp3 files are NOT downsampled. I want subsonic to serve them to my client as they are, be it V0, 320kbps, 192kbps. It's an old PC and I'm assume eliminating this step will speed things up (correct me if I'm wrong). What do I need to change to effect this?
-I DO want FLAC files to be transcoded to MP3 for reasons of file size and bandwidth.

So I would like to change the settings on the transcoding screen to eliminate Mp3 to MP3 transcoding/down sampling, but I really don't understand the syntax for the command.

Again, my current settings are the default settings and I've installed, to my knowledge, no additional components.

Well the mp3 downsampling should only occur if you have set a maximum bit rate on your client. The flac to mp3 transcoding should be kicking in automatically.

I'm having the same issues. I changed all my backed up files to FLACs from mp3....I'd prefer to stream mp3 elsewhere. I have set up all users with a max bit rate of 320, but my Isub continues to show large bit rates.
