[QUOTE="Xastlin, post: 109147, member: 27153"] [b]My Findings[/b] Believe it or not you are not the only one with an addiction to surround music. I have over 100 CDs that are in DTSWAV format that I have transcoded into a Padded DTS File. I can trick Media Player 11 to play the file by renaming it to wma. As long as you have AC3Filter installed you can play the files just fine over SPDIF. I have recently got the batch process in place to encode the files in Multi-Channel WMA. Since this is an authentic WMA you can store all TAG information in the file (including Cover Art). This is great so you don't have to rely on the Database. Challenge for me is the same. The BASS Engine Player works fantastic in Media Portal. It can play Lossless (Stereo) WMA files just fine. Multi-Channel WMA does not. The Internal Dshow Filter can play the file, but it doesn't play correctly in Media Portal (it plays fine in Windows Media Player 11 or Media Player Classic). I would love to have the BASS Engine be able to play AC3, DTS, or MultiChannel WMA. With the increased production of MultiChannel Media (i.e. DVD-Audio, SACD, Dual-Disc, or Music Videos) having a player to play these files should be increasing. Any ideas? Cheers! Xastlin [/QUOTE]
