Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AAC+ and file types
Very useful, thanks, bpa. You say SC decides what to apply "depending on what rules are enabled". Enabled where? The three main types of stream coming into my SB3 are: Apple Lossless, from my iTunes music; MP3, from various radio stations; and AAC+, also from radio streams. As I understand it, MP3 is the only one that goes 'straight through' as a native format. Obviously I'd like to be hearing the other two at best possible quality. Is there a way of ensuring that? Or do I just trust SC to have my best interests at heart? Oh, and while we're on the subject of AAC+, this blog... http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2009/02/better_audio_for_bbc_radio_onl.html ...says that BBC radio iPlayer is "now using AACfamily streams for the listen-again service" as of Feb 11th.

My only problem with Spotify - apart from the fact that some of my more obscure-taste music is simply not available, which I suppose is to be expected - is the quality issue. See my post 1936 in this thread - basically, I don't think much of it, overall.

Is that correct? Is PCM better than FLAC?

Tfec, I've looked in all the obvious Squeezebox cache, prefs, and plugin
folders on my host Mac, and I can't see any Material Skin .css files. In
fact the only MS file I can see in those folders is one called
material-skin.prefs, which is a text file beginning "_ts_artistFirst:

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Radio Now Playing plugin
Paul, a couple of stations that I listen to regularly on LMS do not show album art (at least not on the links I use, which I believe are the best quality available in each case). First is Jazz24, which for my taste is one of the better jazz stations. I have this link in my Favourites... https://live.wostreaming.net/direct/ppm-jazz24aac256-ibc1 The other is Swiss Classic, again a good station in my view, and accessed from this link in my Favourites... http://www.radioswissclassic.ch/de/live/aacp.m3u Is there any scope for getting art (and indeed album info) with some help from you and your excellent Radio Now Playing?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Alternatives to spotify / spotty?
Jaca, that's interesting. Now I see that I can indeed add folders to Spotify's Playlists! In the official Spotify app on my desktop Mac, if I right-click on an existing Playlist in the sidebar on the left, there's an option to Create Folder, which I'd completely missed. It's easy from there to make folders and sub-folders and organise stuff in a way that (for my purposes, at least) is much more efficient. Good! I can then see the new folders I've made in LMS in a browser UI on the same desktop, rather more usefully in Material than the regular skin. But neither seems to allow me to make new folders. And in iPeng on my iPhone, again any new folders made on the Spotify app are now visible but there's no obvious way (to me) to make new ones there. Sorry if this is a touch off-topic here. Later, when/if the dust settles on the Spotify debate, I'll maybe make a new thread about the folder business. whitman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9053 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115850 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng Playback + iPad + headphones
I'm thinking of getting some headphones to use for LMS, and I'm looking into iPeng's Playback facility to do this. (This is the iPeng add-on that effectively turns an iPhone or iPad into an LMS/Squeezebox player.) The iPad I'd use is a mini 4. I believe the out from iPeng through the headphone jack on that would be good enough to make for a reasonably high quality noise. Correct? I'm considering the well-rated Grado SR80x cans, which have an impedance of about 35 ohms. I'm assuming they're OK for the iPad to drive without assistance as I have a cheap pair of about 32 ohms that seem OK through that route. Anyone using a similar setup with advice or comments? (Wasn't sure exactly where to post this, but figured iPeng = software probably closest.) whitman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9053 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115978 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng Playback + iPad + headphones
Thanks Paul and Jim for further advice. Still thinking my way through, as for me this counts as a potentially big investment, so I want to consider as many alternatives as poss. So, I do have an M! MacBook Air (2020). I imagine using that would eliminate the need for the camera adapter for the iPad. I have a spare USB3USB adaptor I could use on one of the laptop's Thunderbolt/USB4 jacks. Presumably a Dragonfly DAC would work connected to that? I do have iPeng working on the laptopit's an M1 version, and most iOS/iPadOS apps work on itso that side of it is covered. Mind you, despite all that, I wonder how good the laptop's internal DAC is, via the 3.5 headphone out? whitman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9053 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115978 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng Playback + iPad + headphones
Grebg, thanks for this, very good to hear of your experience. Have you ever tried iPeng on MacOS? M1 Macs will run some iOS apps, and my laptop will run iPeng, though it seems to crash with some streams (but not others). Anyway, my iPhone SE (2016) seems OK on battery usage with iPeng, as does my iPad mini 4. I can't see an obvious way to tell what actual quality (96/24 or whatever) iPeng is shoving out the headphone jack at any point. Good advice on trying the cans without a DAC for now, thanks, and I like your suggestion of the 90 vs 10 balance. My new Grado SR80X arrived yesterday, so I've been digging in. Much fun! What DACs have you tried and liked?

iPeng and Playback on MacOS�stream problem
Anyone running iPeng on MacOS and using its Playback facility? M1 Macs will run some iOS apps, like iPeng, and iPeng's Playback option turns iPeng into an LMS player. Certainly iPeng runs on my MacBook Air M1 and delivers Playback, but I have a problem with it crashing when I try to play certain radio streams. I should add that I can play any and every one of these streams perfectly well using iPeng with Playback on iOS devices, like my iPhone or iPad. ItÂs only when I try Playback on the Mac that I hit the problem. IÂve tried to find common factors among the relevant streams, and quality seems to be one. All the 44.1 kHz streams play perfectly (for example Europa Jazz). The 48 kHz streams do not play (for example D-Dur Classical), nor does a 96 kHz one (Mother Earth). They do not play and they crash iPeng. The codec does not seem to be a factorÂsome OGG streams play (for example Juke), some do not (for example CRo Jazz); some AAC streams play (for example Jazz24), some do not (Classic Jazz Radio). IÂm connecting the laptop to LMS via wifi, so in iPeng PlaybackÂs player prefs I have bitrate limiting for wifi set to off. I canÂt see any other prefs that might affect the problem. On the laptop, in Audio MIDI Setup I have my headphone output set to 96kHz 2ch 32-bit Float, which is the highest possible. IÂve tried it at the other options, 44.1, 48, and 88.2, and that seems to make no difference. I have the sense that IÂm missing something obvious. I really want to use iPeng like this on my laptop with headphones for all my radio streams, which I have collected as Favourites sourced from the excellent Radio Now Playing app. Any ideas? whitman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9053 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116047 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
