I did use Itunes to create the ALAC files. I used Itunes to rip the music from CD's. I'll try using another program to see if that solves the issue.

I've been streaming WAV files from my server to my SB and it's worked fine. Recently I've converted some of my files into ALAC. The SB sees the folders on the server (artist & album) but doesn't see any music files within the folders. Any suggestions?

+1 for WMA lossless

So I've still not solved this problem - I'm not having phone system or router issues and I'm on a cable modem so DSL/phone shouldn't be my problem so I'm not thinking that my solution is the same as Malakim's. Perhaps I can assign a static IP address to my NAS as suggested above to see if that solve...

The mediavault is always powered on and I have no problem accessing it from my desktop - not sure why the SB has the problem each time - any thoughts?

I don't think it's a wireless error but I don't know for sure. When I start the SB it gives me the usual "connecting to..." for a bit but then the error "Connection to server failed" pops up. When I hit "OK" it gives me 3 play options (server, desktop, internet radio) a...

I've installed my Soundbridge via ethernet connection and it works fine other than each time I start the Soundbridge it gives me a failure to connect to network message. If I either unplug/replug the Soundbridge or restart it using the restart option within the Soundbridge, it connects and works fin...

I have three computers on the network - two desktops and one laptop - can't see the SB from any of them.

Still can't see the Soundbridge. The two ports that you listed are open in my firewall. There were a variety of utilities on the site but I downloaded and ran the "Universal Plug-and-Play Tester" - hope this is correct. Running utility resulted in the following in the "status" wi...

My SB is connected and working fine on my wired network but I can't see it in My Network Places. Icons for UPnP are enabled. If I type the ip address directly into browser, I can get to the SB and control it but it's not visible on my network. I'm running XP Home with SP2. Any suggestions?

Thanks - that makes sense. So that leads to my final two questions: 1) Do you expect the Soundbridge to add WMAL natively any time in the near future? 2) If I rip my CD's onto the MediaVault in WAV (lossless) format, will Soundbridge play those files natively or will it result in the same problem as...

The fiels in question are WMA Lossless - HP tech support says that their server supports this format and I know that my network can stream these large files because I can stream them to the M1001 from my desktop. HP says they are working on the issue as they've received other calls about streaming d...

I have my music saved in WMA format in a "music" sub-folder within the default "MediaShare" folder on the Media Vault as suggested by the Media Vault user guide. The entire MediaShare folder (and therefor subfolders) is enabled to stream media. I can access all of the folders (in...

I just got my m1001 and connected it via my wired LAN. I got it working with my music library on my desktop via Windows Media Connect (WMP 11). I store most of my music and video on an HP Media Vault 2020 (basically an external hard drive) which has it's own media server. My M1001 sees the Media Vau...
