Perhaps another of your criteria should be privacy? All of these options have fairly opaque privacy policies and they are collecting a lot of data about us. Spolify for instance has filed a surveillance by speech-recognition patent that claims to detect “emotional state, gender, age, or accent” to recommend music. Which is fair enough if you are OK with that. Personally I would feel like I'm being stalked in a bad way.
I use Deezer at the moment because it seems less bad and is European FWIW. I have no use for Tidal's MQA. I may possibly move to Qubuz since it appears to have no drm. However, my partner has learned to use the Deezer app and probably wouldn't be happy with change. Ho hum. To answer your questions I have the Deezer app installed on 3 RPis and I listen to my Premium account at 16/44.1 FLAC. Sometimes the RPis are playing different songs simultaneously. Deezer doesn't register them as 'connected devices' which is odd, since at times there can be 3 people listening to different music streams. I tend to play albums, my partner makes use of the playlists and seems happy with the content of them. I have no problem with content and I don't think I have ever read a review of a band or piece of music and not found it on Deezer - and my taste is definitely not mainstream. So, yes, this is a thumbs-up for Deezer with caveats on privacy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ downtrip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=72282 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115849
