Tidal offers a veteran's discount - $5.99/month if you've ever served, at CD quality FLAC, which is the most anyone really needs.

Re: [slim] Comparisons between current (2022) streaming service integrations?
According to services... I used Spotify for years. I like quility music but I cant hear difference comparing to Tidal(now RP4B + Musical Fidelity v90 + not good speakers but dedicated tube ampifier for good headphones). But I switched to Tidal recently because I've checked Roon and I love it. The only service available in my coutry used by Roon is Tidal, soo... If I will switch to Roon soon? Not sure - now I use piCorePlayer and its more stable on RP than Roon was on my mac mini... But of course Material is not as great as Roon UI. I can pay high price for convenience but LMS+Material is alo great... So now I use some plugins, I created account on last.fm to have statistics, currently I use both Spotify and Tidal on my mac but only Tidal is active in LMS. Ah and I have only 20+ CDs - I'm very picky :) I bought only albums I liked for last 20-30y. I wont but album due to one great song. So far so good - Tidal works like Spotty for me.

Re: [slim] Comparisons between current (2022) streaming service integrations?
Hi there. I've raised this intermittent problem previously but can't find the thread now - apologies for using this one. I'm having trouble with LMS and TIDAL integration again. Once again this has been prefectly fine up until a few days ago when it suddenly stopped working again. I've done a complete reinstallation of LMS (v 8.2.0 - 1627922070) and index rebuild and it is failing to pick up items that I have added to my TIDAL favourites, or any playlists that I have created there. I did this with Windows Defender turned off so that no firewall settings would affect it. The LMS web interface is showing TIDAL under My Apps, but there is no TIDAL content under My Music > New Music, My Music > Artists, My Music > Albums etc. I think last time it happened the suggestion was that if it happened again I should post the server log here to see if it sheds ay light on this. It does appear to contain a few errors which (forgive me!) do not mean much to me. There is mention of buggy formware on an SB Radio, but the main player that I'm using is a SB Touch. Here are the logs: [22-03-19 10:35:43.9936] main::init (390) Starting Logitech Media Server (v8.2.0, 1627922070, Tue Aug 3 11:28:42 WEDT 2021) perl 5.014001 - MSWin32-x86-multi-thread [22-03-19 10:35:48.8683] Slim::Utils::SQLiteHelper::postConnect (377) Optimizing DB because of missing or empty sqlite_stat1 table [22-03-19 10:35:49.0821] Slim::Schema::forceCommit (2177) Warning: Trying to commit transactions before DB is initialized!

Re: [slim] Comparisons between current (2022) streaming service integrations?
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 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Hi Michael - Everything is good. As per my earlier posting I ended up removing and reinstating the Deezer account within the mySqueezebox environment as you also noted. A little awkward, but now I know. I really appreciate the support I have received from you and others on various questions over the years about the LMS environment and usage / configuration ossies. If I may, a completely different question. I have a subscription to the Berlin Philharmonic Digital Concert Hall (digitalconcerthall.com), and it would be nice to be able to browse / play concerts from this source through the LMS environment. I guess similar to the YouTube plugin which allows searching for videos and streaming the audio portion through the LMS system. I have searched the forums for digitalconcerthall and got only a single match - in the forum topic "Announcement - ickStream open beta release on Squeezebox !".

Hi Michael - Thank you for pointing this out. I had done a general review / regeneration of passwords a few months ago, and that is when things must have gotten out of sync. I had subsequently updated the password directly on Deezer, but didn't think to update LMS at the same time. That said, I could not find a plug-in settings link (either on the LMS "Server Settings" screen Plugins tab or on the Advanced tab), where I could easily update the password. In order to make the password update I ended up uninstalling the plugin, deleting and recreating my Deezer plugin credentials on https://www.mysqueezebox.com/user/apps. Is there an easier way to do this?

I really like Qobuz specifically the quality, lack of any DRM and the ability to purchase hi-res music at a very reasonable cost, when you subscribe to the annual Studio Sublime. Ive found as others have mentioned that searching for content can sometimes be tricky. If you dont get the search string right it doesnt show up. I use LMS & Roon and the Qobuz IOS app when outside of the home.

Re: [slim] Comparisons between current (2022) streaming service integrations?
I always used Spotify, but a few months ago I went through a phase of trying different service. Based on my own tyre-kicking: Amazon - no support Apple - no support Tidal - All worked well but I disagree with MQA Qobuz - I really liked it but hated the way the genre "country" was bundled in with blues and folk Deezer - works well, except the Deezer app (browser) has playlists within a genre and this isn't available within the LMS plugin I've stuck with Deezer and I'm paying for premium (family). Seems to work very well on LMS.

Re: [slim] Comparisons between current (2022) streaming service integrations?
I have Spotify and Qobuz. Spotify has slightly more content but is of course ham strung at 320kbps. Spotty is probably the best integration. But I use Qobuz much much more and Im probably dropping Spotify. I have Qobuz at HD. The integration is a close second to Spotty and the Qobuz library is pretty good these days. Ive tried both Tidal and Deezer in the past but chose Qobuz for its HD content even though logic tells me my ears cant hear any difference over 16/44.1 FLAC.

I just write to follow this thread. Currently I also use Spotify, but I
am considering trying Quboz instead...

[slim] Comparisons between current (2022) streaming service integrations?
Is there any place that summarizes the current degree of integration between LMS and the various streaming services? One can try to track the threads for various plugins, but a lot of forum information seems out-of-date and its hard to follow for occasional readers. The services themselves are (mostly) fungible from my point of view, but the Squeezebox integrations vary widely. For example, Pandora is supported, but (last I checked) most Pandora Premium features are not accessible from Squeezebox. Contrast that with something like Spotty, with multiuser support, personalized playlist access, etc. I'm thinking of things like: - Quality/format/bitrate supported by various plans/price points. - Access to personalization features of the service (generated "discover" playlists, etc.). - Access to "radio" features (curated playlists, algorithmic radio). - Access to the whole catalog vs radio features only (Pandora vs Pandora Premium). - Support for multiple accounts (in the sense that Spotty allows access to each logged in user's personalized playlists). - Streaming service catalog integration with LMS 8. - "Remote control" functionality, if applicable (Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, etc.). - Under active development? I would previously have assumed Spotty is the "safest" in that sense, but reading the forums it seems like in practice mherger is maintaining most integrations? To be clear I very much appreciate his continued work, just trying to understand which projects are maintenance mode. My sense is that Spotify (via Spotty), Tidal, Quboz, Deezer and Pandora are all working in some form or another, but I can't tell what's supported where. If its not practical to produce such a list, is it safe to assume that Spotty is really the most feature-complete integration? If so, what comes in second place? For context, I'm a current Spotify/Spotty user, with a family plan, and a heavy user of the personalized playlists. I'm considering dropping Spotify for an alternative, notably Tidal. But I'm unclear what I would lose, and its hard to experiment/test across every service.
