Re: Transcoding FLAC: only plays one song at a time
You shouldn't use the TRANSCODE folder unless you want to select a different transcoding that what is automatically selected. In the TRANSCODE folder, all possible variations of the same file are listed, some of them will probably fail to play on any given renderer. So, since the same audio file is listed multiple times with different formats/variations, the tracks will either all play the same song or fail to play. This behavior is as expected.
The question is why you use the TRANSCODE folder in the first place. If it's because some of the files doesn't work outside the TRANSCODE folder, the reason is that your renderer configuration file doesn't correctly describe the capabilities of your renderer, so that the automatic determination makes the wrong choice.

Re: Transcoding FLAC: only plays one song at a time
If the renderer isn't recognized, a "default configuration" is used - and this configuration assumes that the renderer supports everything (and thus that nothing needs transcoding).
You need to either find an existing configuration that works with your renderer or modify an existing one so that it works. The process isn't very difficult, but it isn't very well documented either - so it can seem a pretty daunting task because finding the relevant information can be hard.
If you search or read on this forum, you will find many, many posts regarding how to create a renderer configuration. I recently tried to explain it to another user in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=13854
I don't think it worked out for him, but it's still the best I can do - so you might as well read it there instead of me repeating it all here.
