Hi there,
I have a QNAP 201 NAS which has a beta copy of Twonky 4.4.4 running on it. I am using it on a wired connection to my ps3. I really want to be able to play any lossless files as the ps3 is linked to my stereo in the lounge. After testing I can't play
WMA lossless files
Wav files
Flac files
ALAC - apple lossless
but I can play
mp3
wma
AAC
Will future releases of twonky allow any lossless files to be played? I don't mind converting my files or indeed ripping all my cd's again. I have got that desperate.
Thanks
QNAP 201, twonky 4.4.4 RC1, PS3 and can't play any lossless

Hi rosscouk,
I've never tried streaming wav files from TM, but I encoded some files using SoundForge, Media Monkey, Nero and Super and all came back as 'unsupported data' on the PS3. I then copied the same files to a USB stick and they played fine! So on the face of it, it does look like a TM problem even though both the PS3 and TM have been certified to play LPCM by DLNA org. I suppose it could be a simple MIME type naming problem as with the recent DivX support on the PS3, but only Sony or Twonky would know that!
As far as I know all current wav encoders wil produce a LPCM compatible PCM file so I guess my previous post was a bit ambiguous!
