Re: [slim] Spotify Playback Options - is one "better" than the other?
What's awesome about option 1 as well is that you can actually have two separate play queues, one on whatever non-LMS Spotify client you're using and one on LMS.

Re: [slim] A Spotify virgin seeking guidance
I am using Spotty and LMS 7.9.1. I actually eventually bit the bullet and upgraded to 7.9.1 *because* I use Spotify (and hence Spotty) a lot. Indeed it is awesome to discover new music, ot to check out new music by a fav artist before plonking down on the CD ti rip it and get that infinitesimal AQ extra. :-D 7.9.1 is absolutely rock solid. Works actually better than the old versions, IMHO. And integration with Spotify via Spotty in 7.9.1 is awesome. So my recommendation is to bite the bullet and upgrade to 7.9.1 and leave things like that, it's far less work than setting up a separate Pi-based system, I'd imagine. Only caveat with using Spotify through Spotty is that, while you can of course create great playlists, when you save them within LMS they shall stay in LMS, and not propagate to Spotify (say, when you're in the gym and want to listen to a playlist you created through LMS). I tent to use the two systems for different music listening styles, so it suits me, but YMMV. ...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=109979 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Spotify Playback Options - is one "better" than the other?
1. LMS server web UI with Spotty plugin 2. Directly within the Spotify app if I pick my SBoxen under "Devices Available" ... 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. That's correct. No difference in audio data stream path. Only UX. IMHO 1.) is more robust, better integrated into the overall LMS experience, 2.) is more user friendly when you're used to the Spotify UX (and when it works :-)). -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Spotify Playback Options - is one "better" than the other?
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.

I've not even bothered with the samba, but that's a better approach, particularly if the pi is buried in the back of a cabinet or something. freefilesync is very useful though for lots of options. *Home:* VBA 4TB (2.4)>LMS 7.9.1>Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.4)>LMS 7.9.1>Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (Radio WIFI) *Office:* Win10(64)>LMS 7.9.2>Squeezelite *The Wild (no internet): *PiCorePlayer 4.0 on rPi 3B+, hifiberry Dac+Pro, 4TB USB (LMS & Squeezelite) *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win10(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpa > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110007 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] PiCore LMS - Thoughts on Library Location(s), Management, Backup?
I thought I would post an update in case someone's search lands on this thread. As it turns out, for me (windows 7, 64 bit), Sync Toy was successful in identifying which files needed to be "echo'ed" (one way, PC HDD -> Pi HDD, the action I have chosen to do), but when I tried to execute the sync, every file that needed to be overwritten failed due to an "access denied" error. I searched forums, tried this and that, and finally followed the advice in may of the forums, switch to "FreeFileSync". Not only can you pick a folder on the Pi share with a browse, but the sync overwrite actually works. Again, I realize that I have created a multistep process for each library update, but my intent is to get something working then look to streamline/automate. YMMV, but I thought I would mention this and perhaps save a bit of headache for someone.
