Re: Amazon Music rolls out a lossless streaming tier that Spotify and Apple can�t match

2019-09-17 Thread left channel


Amazon has partnered with Bluesound and others on this, so they must be
sharing an API with them. But they don't yet seem willing to share
outside that limited circle of hardware partners.

Correct it is not publicly available, so it would totally have to be
hacked.   There is one attempt made out there on Github, but It's never
worked for me.

Re: [slim] Some Rasberry Pi / LMS questions for a complete beginner.

2019-09-17 Thread paul-


There are several wifi drivers that have lost support as the kernel
advances.  I'm not sure if the canakit is one of them.  Looking at the
WIFI diagnostics and the dmesg output on the main diagnostics page,
might lend to some reasons as to what is going on.   Since you have a
RPI3, you might try the internal wifi, the RPI drivers and firmware have
been improved over the recent past.

It's plain that there is an API, it just may not be publicly available.
I tried the app this afternoon. HD/UHD content is only available from
the app, not via the web client.

Re: [slim] Some Rasberry Pi / LMS questions for a complete beginner.

2019-09-17 Thread ghulse


Hope it's okay to piggyback onto this thread. I have a Rasberry Pi3 with
HiFiBerry Digi+ and a 7" LCD screen. I had PicorePlayer running and
working for several years (LMS on a MacMini running Mac OS Snow Leopard,
a Marantz receiver and Wharfedale speakers). The LCD monitor displayed a
digital equalizer that was really cool. And since it worked so well, I
didn't bothered updating the PicorePlayer software, though I knew there
were newer versions available. 

Flash forward. We recently moved and all my stereo equipment got packed
away. Today I began the laborious task of setting everything up again. I
flashed the latest greatest PicorePlayer v.5.0 to my SD disk, and booted
up the RasberryPi. After doing the basic WiFi setup and rebooting the
Rasberry Pi, I get to the part where PicorePlayer tries to login to
WiFi, but it says "No Network Found". I'm kind of stuck.

I'm using a Canakit WiFi receiver that used to work with the older
PicorePlayer software. Maybe it doesn't work with the newer version? I
see no blinking lights or anything. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Amazon Music rolls out a lossless streaming tier that Spotify and Apple
can’t match

https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2019/9/17/20869526/amazon-music-hd-lossless-flac-tier-spotify-apple

I wish Spotify would offer lossless...or Amazon Music on Touch.

Re: [slim] ickStream Shutdown

2019-09-17 Thread dhallag


I've been an active user of Deezer with IckStream for quite some time
now and have been very happy with it.  This is really disappointing but
understandable.  Thanks for all your efforts and hard work.  Someone
mentioned using AFAIK with Deezer?  Can you explain what this is?  But
I'm assuming this still won't make Deezer stream in hi-res/FLAC?

thanks much...  darien

Re: [slim] Alarm clock problem

2019-09-17 Thread pablolie


I have found the Touch to be a bit unnerving as an alarm device. It will
do the job, but if I snooze it or turn off the alarm after a few minutes
it will go and play some annoying built-in melody until I got to LMS and
turn the alarm off. I have since switched to a Boom for alarm duty, and
it performs as designed.
