I'm considering converting my mostly wma lossless music collection on my BS5 to FLAC. This is mostly to allow access to the library from my Essence. From my testing (mostly Pink Floyd CDs), it seems that FLAC playback is not quite gapless on the BS5. Has anyone else done this conversion? If so, are you glad you did? Any other issues I need to be aware of? I am planning to use MediaMonkey to do the conversion so if there are any pointers on this, those are welcome, too.
Thanks,
Stan
I don't think that wav files are gapless either.
Dbpoweramp is a very goodprogram for conversion.
The Essence is not able to decode FLAC files alone. You'll need the Beomusic app running on a mobile device during the listening (as far as I remember...).
I just send (via a DLNA app) some FLAC files to my Essence and joined in through my V1 (because that is where I sit right now).
They play fine - even the 24/96 ones.
I did not use the Beomusic app - but of course that shows whats playing, when I opened the app.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
Yeah, I've had no problems playing my few FLAC files through my Essence without my phone being on-line. Set up the play queue via BeoMusic, but then turned off the app.
But I do sort of remember a discussion about this a few years ago so maybe this a limitation that was removed.

Carolpa: CB:The Essence is not able to decode FLAC files alone. You'll need the Beomusic app running on a mobile device during the listening (as far as I remember...).Simply not true. The Essence mm II can handle flac just fine; up to 24bit 192kHz without problem

Also for mk1 now? (It wasn't true at the launch of the Essence...)
