Thanks, Aaron

Dealing with the playback code is never fun.  I don't know what will be involved, but I can't imagine any one is looking forward to doing it.  Probably more efficient to just resample everything to 44.1k before encoding anyway since it's more compact.

I could do that, but I was just thinking that it would be cool to be able to listen to some vinyl albums I have that are ripped to 96k 24bit.

Vinyl generally has less resolution then 44.1khz/16 bit, so all 96k/24bit would get you is greatly reduced battery life.  This is definitely one of those times you should resample.

It's true that vinyl doesn't go higher than 44.1/16... but be real, there is no way to hear anything outside of that range.

The reason for this support is because the FLACs in question (and of course the theoretical other files) are ALREADY in 24/96 format, not because they need to be.
