I've had Spotify up and running for about a week now using this great
plugin. 

My question is about the quality of the Spotify streams. 

I realise this thread is about the plugin, but I wasn't sure where else
to post. I realise, too, that this forum is for the Squeezebox, and not
Spotify itself, but I know that many Squeezebox users enjoy good
quality as well as good music. I felt sure there will be others here
with views on this.

So: I must say I find the quality of the Spotify stream disappointing.
I have the plugin settings on "high quality", which seems to be 320k of
something called Ogg Vorbis. But I find the quality of the streams
rather boxy, flat, and uninspiring. They do not compare well to, say,
the streams I listen to on the great BBC iPlayer plugin for my
Squeezebox, or the AAC+ streams of one of my favourite net radio
stations, Radio Paradise, which I also listen to regularly via the
Squeezebox. Even some MP3s sound better to me than the Spotify
streams.

I'm not sure I'll want to continue the premium Spotify sub if this is
really the kind of "quality" they want me to pay for.
