I could be wrong here but I found that Spotty Replay Gain works better
if transcoded to flac. :confused:

The problem with the spotty normalisation/replaygain setting is that it
prevents the "remote stream volume adjustment" working and Spotify ends
up being far too loud compared to local music using replaygain.

but how does Spotty's per-player setting here:
30675

map onto Spotify's "Normalize Volume" and/or "Volume Level" settings
above?

Spotify's "Volume Level" (Loud/Normal/Quiet) I believe affects dynamics
compression levels.  Thanks again in advance!

AFAIK librespot's normalization is the "default" one.

OK, thanks, Michael.  I'll check back here to see if there's any more
information later.

In the meantime, I'll see if I can hear how Spotify's Replay Gain
performs.  Thanks too, to bernt!

I don't know, sorry. I'm using librespot's replay gain setting. Will ask 
around whether somebody knows how they relate.

Ah! Thanks, Michael - I hadn't found the per-player settings. So I can
understand, can you clarify for me please:

I guess the all-player Spotty settings here: 
30673

refer to Spotify's "Streaming Quality" here:
30674

but how does Spotty's per-player setting here:
30675

map onto Spotify's "Normalize Volume" and/or "Volume Level" settings
above? 

Spotify's "Volume Level" (Loud/Normal/Quiet) I believe affects dynamics
compression levels.  Thanks again in advance!

However, I also see that Spotify itself (in the Desktop, iOS and Android
areas) also offer further Audio Settings, which they refer to as "Volume
Levels" = Loud, Normal and Quiet - which I surmise (from their
non-audiophile descriptions!) is dynamic range compression.


You'd find that in the per-player preferences in Settings/Player/Spotty.

In LMS player settings you can set Replay Gain to on.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty:any further Audio Settings available?

2020-06-10 Thread mooblie


I see that Spotty has Audio Settings = Normal (96kbps), High (160kbps)
or Extreme (320kbps), clearly giving different stream bitrates/quality.

However, I also see that Spotify itself (in the Desktop, iOS and Android
areas) also offer further Audio Settings, which they refer to as "Volume
Levels" = Loud, Normal and Quiet - which I surmise (from their
non-audiophile descriptions!) is dynamic range compression.

I am looking for dynamic range compression for when Spotty/LMS is
playing background music.  Compared to many Internet "radio" streams,
that are compressed for a uniform volume level, Spotify can have widely
varying track volumes.

In the absence of any LMS DSP compression plug-ins, I was wondering: can
Spotty offer these "Volume Level" audio settings when playing Spotify?

Thanks in advance - and wonderful software!
