You don't have the server transcode MP3, you have it go to PCM (wave).

Can the PS3 play flac files? I didn't think it could. With PS3 Media Server, the PS3 plays flac perfectly... Dana

Chris, that makes more sense. So I assume that the ps3 media server is just transcoding the FLAC files into PCM format then? I might give that a try with TVersity. It's nice to play music straight from my avr but like I said he interface is slow so I wouldn't mind exploring other options.

I can't say for sure, but that's probably what it is doing. Can you press the green triangle button on a formerly FLAC file, and tell the PS3 to save it? Then again green triangle the saved file and check it's info. That'll tell you what format it was transcoded into.

I must be dense, because I'm not getting something with this whole streaming thing. Here's my situation - I have a NAS which has mp3 files. I have a receiver that has no network connection and no display device. What do I have to add to stream to the receiver?
I figure I could add a media box (WD and Seagate have them, or Popcornhour), but since I don't have a display device I wouldn't be able to select anything. Or do you guys initiate the streaming for another device, and then just have the receiver playing whatever it receives somehow?

Thanks Jason, that looks exactly like what I was looking for. (Well that or the Duet.) Much appreciated!
