I recently discovered that the media player can handle FLAC (lossless) files. These are three times the size of a 320bps mp3, but are said to be much better in sound quality. That makes them suitable for the Meridian sound system and compensates to a certain extent the missing CD player...

Stupid question time, what is a FLAC file and how do you create one?

Wife has just got her new R-dynamic HSE . I tried FLAC files and MP3 and there is, even to my old ears, a very noticeable difference.
This is good news since it stops me having to recode all my FLAC files to MP3 to play in the car as I had to do for her Evoque.
Programme I use for ripping CDs to get the FLAC files is dbPower Amp woks really well

There are no stupid questions.. What's the saying 'hold my beer' 😊

Thanks for the link. I'll download one of the programs and start ripping ahead of my E-Pace arriving.

Does this include Apple Lossless?

I haven't tried this format... but probably you can use this, too...
