Subsonic music streaming app

Richard.
Sindre, the developer of Subsonic, sent me this response when I asked if it was possible to bypass the transcoding of WAV, Aiff, FLAC: "I'm not sure what audio formats the iPhone supports, but to turn off transcoding you go to Settings>Players in the Subsonic web interface, then select the player which corresponds to your iPhone and tick off the transcodings." I tried it last night and the improvement was amazing! I know the iPhone Can't play higher than 16/44, but the WAV files streaming through the DAC sounded as good or better than my CD player!

Rosedanny....thanks much for posting that. Sounds like they have added some features because when I was using Subsonic they only had a selection for "higher quality" which was more in the are of 192kbs mp3. I'll download it again and hope I can remember how to get it working. I will gladly drop Audiogalaxy and go back to Subsonic if it can in fact stream flac native! I was hoping JRiver would add it to Gizmo, I think it will stream flac via wireless network now but not cellular like Subsonic or Audioglaxy. Won't work for you though as Gizmo is an Android app.

Thanks again for posting the update! Sindre is a good developer and helped me early on with Subsonic setup. I also made a larger donation:)

Two things to consider:
1)I don't think there is a flac transcoder. I know for sure there is WAV (the file type I use) and have turned off.
2)I have not used Subsonic outside of my house, so I can't speak to the 3G streaming capabilities--over wi-fi it works without a hitch.

BTW, for some reason, WAV files from my Windows Media Library sound better than WAV files from my iTunes library. Go figure.

Correction: Subsonic does do FLAC. You can disable the mp3 transcoding so it will stream FLAC flies. I haven't tried it yet, but if anyone has done this please chime in.
