Gapless is the only thing keeping from me from recommending the Chromecast Audio to people I know as a worthwhile solution to the whole home audio question. In my playing with the device I couldn't even get gapless to work with Google Music. Spotify however will play gapless on the CCA. Does anyone know how they managed to get it to work? I guess Spotify Connect is a different sort of protocol than the usual casting protocol? I am not a developer, just curious why Spotify Connect will work but nothing else. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ usc95's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59694 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104614 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
