No idea why it is working for some ...
maybe someone installed an extra codec on the bm5, or is Twonky making a difference ?
Carolpa said earlier in a post :
"There is probably a difference with the most other users. I use Twonky 7.01 on a Ubuntu server (and not the 6.0.3x version)! For the insider; Twonky doesn't transcode the Apple Lossless file!"
Carolpa, did you select the ALAC file with twonky or did you select it on the BS5 screen ?

NO additional " Apple Lossless" codecs installed.
.m4a files are NOT recognized by the WMP on the BM5
For sure, the files were started in the BS5 menu.
*BUMP*
Can more than 1 person actualy confirm that Apple Lossless is playing on his BS5?

Hi
On my BS5, I can play ALAC files directly via the twonky (BM). I can select the ALAC files it on the BS5 screen, but it's not playing.
Location: Denmark

Would you mind posting the software version of your BS5?
Thats the same info as my BS5/BM5 that doesnt play back ALAC. Go figure!
Beosound 5 does not support Apple Lossless (yet).
People who can play Apple lossless files have a NAS drive or other server with DLNA software. Which is transcoding the lossless format to some else format, which can be played on Beosound 5.

Hi Jobak,
that's exactly what I also thought when I didn't get any positive response of any other user.
I use Twonky and Twonky has this capability. It does this through a file called "transcode.db". But there is no such a file on my Ubuntu server. And if Twonky would transcode the Apple Lossless to another format, why can't I play these files on the BS5e or the Windows Media Player?
my BM5 versions updates were (latest to the first sw 6.0):
6.05.01.3357 - 6.0.5.00.3166 - 6.05.00.3125 - 6.04.00.2871 - 6.03.01.2599 - 6.02.00.1902 - 6.01.01.6524 - 6.01.00.6456
