That bloody well worked!
I can't thank you enough. My listening life is transformed.
Shouldn't this be built into the general relased code?

It works fine for my MP3 encoded files, EXCEPT that this combination will not play any AAC M4A files - I get a 'Can't Open File' error message.
Not quite sure why this is.
Is it:
- an LMS NT deficiency
- an absence of LAME (how would I isntal that on the ReadyNAS anyawy?)
- a SqueezePlay deficiency?
Any ideas or assistance would be gratefully received.
Support for AAC files (mov, m4a, m4b, mp4) is not enabled by default (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/AAC#AAC_on_Linux). I'll see about re-packaging to add this.
If such support could be added that would be awsome - please let me know...

I'll work on an updated package and send it over this weekend.

Yep, the iTunes server should play those files, but only to iTunes.

Sorry, I got a little busy last weekend and this week. Can you try out this package and let me know how it works?

Thanks so much. I'm in the wrong continent now for another few weeks; I'll try it out as soon as I get back, and will report back...
