Hi,

We are looking into this.  In the meantime, there is a workaround:

   - save tracks as Apple Lossless in VinylStudio and import them into iTunes

   - in iTunes, select all the tracks in the album, iTunes convert to Apple Lossless version

   - in iTunes delete each track created by VinylStudio retaining the converted versions

Hello again,

We have now had a go at fixing this, but with no Sonos to hand I can't test it.  Could I therefore ask you to see if the following two files will play (these are download links):

    https://www.alpinesoft.co.uk/private/V11_07.m4a

    https://www.alpinesoft.co.uk/private/V11_13.m4a

If the first one fails to play and the second is OK then we have fixed the bug.

Many thanks.
