I have the problems streamming wav files from my PC. For my stereo set up in leaving room I use squeezebox connected to arcam avr to access all my cd's ripped in wav on my PC. For HT in basement ps3 is connected to another arcam avr. I have tried winamp - converts all wav to mp3 - not good
(and yes there is a big difrence betwen mp3 and wav!!!! I have arcam AVR350 and Totem Arro and when i play the same track in mp3 or wav - the diffrence is obvious)
Now I installed Nero Media server - jpg no problem, dvix, avi - no problem.
There is an issue with wav! - because wav does not have metadata if you put lets say 20 wav files in one directory and on PS3 you say play "ALL" - it will play no problem. But I have over 500 cd's ripped in music, artist, cdTitle, song structure. Can not play ALL! But if I go to artist, or album - no files found. I guess PS3 looks at the metadata not directory structure. Squeezebox is OK. Also my friend has a MAC and using Media link server for mac and plugging my hard disk - his PS3 can see all!!! So I guess like squeezebox server, media link server reads directory structure but PS3 not.
Help any body please
