I haven't had any joy in getting WAV to work on my iPad yet. I'm trying to use an iPad2 using Plugplayer as the control point. Plugplayer also offers the option of rendering back to the device itself, which means I can happily listen to music off my server when I'm reading in bed at night!

This used to work OK before I started using transcoding, which is perhaps surprising as the core source is FLAC files. It's possible the renderer implementation in Plugplayer (at least I assume that's where the implementation is done) only works with FLAC, I guess. But I've tried with syntax flac:wav24/wav16 and that has not worked.

Appreciate the thought about going to ALAC; it's something I have toyed with in the past. I might set up a test MinimServer implementation on my PC and see how I get along trying to serve things from a small ALAC set.
