So I have 2 Options as a Spotify:
1. LMS server web UI with Spotty plugin 2. Directly within the Spotify app if I pick my SBoxen under "Devices Available" My *assumption* is that it is just a difference in the UI, and the music signal is routed exactly the same, ie Spotify-Cloud->LMS->MiscMusicHW, and hence Spotify is Spotify, same music quality (or lack thereof according to some Golden Ears, let's leave that out of the discussion :-D), no extra conversions involved. So it's all about the preferred UI and where you want to keep your Spotify playlists, since tiehr methods allows you to store the playlist in a different ecosystem... and I assume it's the same for any music service of choice. Thanks and Happy 2019! ...pablo Server: Virtual Machine (on VMware Workstation 14 Pro) running Ubuntu 16.04 + LMS 7.9 System: SB Touch --optical->- Benchmark DAC2HGC --AnalysisPlus Oval Copper XLR->- NAD M22 Power Amp --AnalysisPlus Black Mesh Oval->- Totem Element Fire Other Rooms: 2x SB Boom; 1x SB Radio; 1x SB Classic-> NAD D7050 -> Totem DreamCatcher + Velodyne Minivee Sub Computer audio: workstation --USB->- audioengine D1 -> Grado PS500e/Shure 1540 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110014 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
