squeezebox2 playback problem solved

for several weeks i've had a problem playing AACs from my G5 to the Squeezebox2 devices attached to various stereos around the house. after just a few seconds of playing any particular track, the buffer would empty and the song would start skipping unlistenably.

i finally got around to emailing Slim Devices' technical support staff. the solution turned out to be installing LAME for iTunes, which the Slim Server is able to use to convert AAC on the fly to 320kbps MP3. for whatever reason this makes everything JFW. and hell, i can't hear the difference anyway. well, yeah i can, i guess - i can actually listen to the damn music now :)
