Finally I found time to optimise my wireless vinyl streaming Raspberry Pi project. It uses now Liquidsoap and lossless FLAC streaming at 44100 kHz, 16 bit sampling for high end quality. In that post I also explain how to tune your Squeezebox players to the stream, so I am not repeating it here again. Very important: only edition and not one of the last official releases, or you wont be able to listen to the stream. If you are running LMS 7.8, here are the step-by-step instructions how to set up liquidsoap on Raspbian Wheezy under the default user > # set the path and permissions for the logfile >  > phono = input.alsa(bufferize=true,fallible=false,device=”hw:1″) >  > #stream it to local icecast, default port and pas*word >  Liquidsoap is extremely fragile, when it comes to owners and user rights.

I just love the flexibility and the audio quality. But back to the story: With the introduction of Squeezeboxes into my home, I ripped all my CDs to MP3 and AAC and swore to myself I would
