Re: Pulled the trigger! Yamaha RX-V867 for $479.99 from New
I've been tweaking the streaming music options and like others have mentioned on this thread, it's a mess. My music folders appear but you have to hunt and peck the folders. Not every folder is exactly the same. Some files missing but can be found in another folder. Like the well-worn cliche, its like searching for a needle in a haystack and not knowing the haystack's location.
Another weird thing. I can display and play FLAC files through the 867. Now for the strange part. My downloaded FLAC files (live recordings mostly) will play but will not display song titles or artist information. However, If I import them into Media Monkey and fill in the information (song title, artist, date), those files are displayed as PCM on the receiver's screen.
Also, if I rip vinyl to WAV files, then convert to FLAC, then import to Media Monkey, the audio decoder displayed is PCM. I also fill in the artist information and put the tracks in order. When I click on the onscreen folder, however, the tracks are jumbled.
Can be frustrating. It's like trying to clean out my attic and garage! :text-bump:
