Why would companies such as Spotify deliberately degrade their sources? The bulk of the streaming business are consumers which are perfectly content with lossy. Why would you risk alienating your main customer base? After all, the manipulation would come out sooner or later (it's not rocket science to record and compare streams). I think you should provide evidence supporting your conspiracy theory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dafiend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=60637 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102351 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
