If the data is tagged with MusicBrainz id's then we could get the
Allmusic url from MusicBrainz, e.g. for Sgt Pepper:

Switched on debug and it's now working and I can't get it to 'not' work!

Hi

On Mac the 'Show current track info' has 3 columns - Artist Bio, Album
Review, Lyrics, this looks good when all 3 are populated but sometimes
it can't find Lyrics or Album Review leaving the Artist Bio and a large
space to the right.

Could there be some way Maximise/Minimise each column as required or be
able to drag the divider/slider to fill the screen?

This is from the 'Show current track information' (Command +D on Mac)
where you get Artist Biography, Album Review, Lyrics. If the track
Artist has a contributor (feat, and, with etc) then the Biography does
not show

Can you try the Linn test album in CD Quality ALAC, I get the
clicks/pops with this one, the 96 and 192 versions play ok.

It seems from my (limited) tests that the issues are with 44.1K files,
anything over plays fine

The good news with the Custom Squeezelite build is it is now playing
every alac file that ffmpeg couldn't

The not so good news is that I'm getting clicks/pops on a lot of tracks,
maybe every 10 seconds or so

Thanks, followed the instructions but then piCore will not start, it
stops at:

Done.

2020-04-24 Thread Ade_AV


Hi

I'm having the same issue and it appears that piCore/ffmpeg does not
like files unless artwork is embedded correctly as jpeg, so anything
with png embedded will not play, also artwork embedded from e.g. Google
Images via drag/drop to iTunes will not play.

If I remove the artwork in iTunes then re-add as a jpeg then all is
well

Is FFmpeg the only option to play alac natively? What about Squeezelite
with alac built in?
