Issue: WMA Lossless is not supported.
This has probably been addressed already, but since you didn't provide a 'supported audio formats' page anywhere that I could see and I wasted time installing and debugging, I am hoping that someone will address this limitation; after all, it's not just about me and this stupid format, this affects all Ford Sync users.
I prefer to listen to music losslessly and although this software supports my preferred format (FLAC), it does not support the only compressed lossless format supported by Ford Sync Touch (WMA Lossless). Like selling ones soul to the devil (Microsoft), I had to convert all my music to WMA Lossless so the same lossless tracks could be played in my car, home, and on my wireless devices. Your product looks great and has App support (outstanding), but without WMA Lossless support, I can't use it.
I'm not sure how you are decompressing WMA Pro or WMA (lossy) under the hood, but I know for a fact that ffmpeg supports WMA Lossess conversion -- it is used by Subsonc to transcode my music for internet streaming.
Any plans of adding support for WMA Lossless, or to add command line support for this sub-optimal file format?
Thanks.
