Radio paradise at 320kps

Same here - thanks gods for the Forum 
What upsets me though is that there are still stations that will play just fine on a computer, but constantly run out of buffer space on ND5XS. With the money I paid for ND5XS I would expect it not to work worse than an old laptop that cost half that even when it was new... Heck, my little deddicated internet radio in the kitchen plays the "Audiophile Baroque" station without any problems and ND5XS runs out of memory on it every few seconds! And it's not the network, I have a very stable 240mbps internet connection and ND5XS (latest firmware) is on an ethernet cable, not wi-fi.
BTW, somebody here recommended to use wi-fi with ND5XS as it may have a larger buffer. Tried that, didn't work. Very, very irritating.
In any case, the stream transcode functionality of Minimstreamer to wav24 works for Internet radio as well. You need to set MP3:wav24 and AAC:wav24
THANK YOU! Yes, the correct m3u syntax was the solution to the issue in the thread I quoted above, but this is the first time on THIS forum that I see somebody actually succeeded. I'm installing Minimserver tonight
Can I buy you a beer?
PS. Just installed Minimserver. The installation was very simple and trouble-free. First benefit over Synology's native Multimedia Server is already obvious: the scan of the music library (ca. 1500 albums in my case) takes about 1 minute (instead of 20 minutes)!
I'll play with the m3u file tomorrow.
THANKS VERY MUCH for sharing and making my (and maybe others') life easier!
