On the SQ being flatter than local FLACs - part of the audio chain as it stands is digital to analogue then back to digital. This is the current situation due to a number of reasons and its not going to be the case long term - which is why I know the SQ can be easily improved. About 40% of the stuff played is from needle drops at 16/44.1. On the 50-60 second out of sync cover art up date. At present Pauls Radio Now Playing has no means of timing the tracks because we dont currently provide it. This will be changed in due course so in future changes will be more accurate. NB to get cover art you need the Radio Now Playing plugin.

Re: [slim] Testers wanted
FWIW I just used Audacity to record U2 Pride (in the name of love) from Juke Radio and my CD rip. I normalised both to 0dB peak then calculate replaygain values of both. Juke Radio -5.49 dB CD rip -5.51 dB That suggests no compression is being applied to the radio stream.

[slim] pCP Noticeably Slower and Auto Restart Fails
I'm on pCP Version: 8.2.0 - 1627922070 -Browsing through music and Tidal is progressively getting slower. -Rebooting no longer auto restarts Squeezelite and LMS. I have to start them manually.

Re: [slim] Testers wanted
I have been comparing JR with Radio Paradise and Radio Blues on my office system (DAC32 > AE1 Actives) and I am finding the sound somewhat compressed and flat.

Re: [slim] Testers wanted
You asked about sound quality. I've just spent an hour or so playing the flac stream and comparing the tracks with my local versions. I was using: Naim NDX streamer (LMS via UPnP) Recently serviced Naim olives and Shahinian Arc speakers I realise that this is going to be a bit inconclusive but thought it worth posting. Two reasons for it being inconclusive: 1) My own versions of the tracks consisted of MFSL remasters, PBThal 24-96 needle drops and ripped CDs 2) I don't generally listen to radio on this system (even Tidal) because the sound quality is always less impressive than playing local files. Observations: The stream played flawlessly. There was no album art (Material skin on Android mobile and Squeezebox Touch controller) The sound was a fair bit quieter than any of my local files and a little quieter than the radio stations I (quickly) tested it against In comparison to my local files the sound was flat, set back, bland and lacked presence. The best sound comparison would probably be against the PBThal 24-96 vinyl rips as these are needle drops from excellent equipment (and personally I suspect the 24-96 encoding makes little difference). Adjusting for volume difference I tried three of these against the tracks plated on the radio station and the above still applied, the radio sound was flat, set back, bland and lacked presence. This difference was not subtle. It was marked. But as I say radio always seems like that when compared to local files, even Tidal. Can I ask, do you use any noise limiting (i.e. replay gain etc)? Anyway, I enjoyed the music so thanks. I'd be very interested to hear some more modern electronic music and try a sound quality comparison Take care of your tongue. It is in a wet place and can easily slip.
