If the Grace device has Chromecast Audio built in, then its should work
with a DLNA controller app on your phone, using the DLNA server built
into the LMS media server. This is similar to the setup I have with a
physical Chromecast Audio device. I use "HiFi cast" on my android phone

I have heard that CC-audio does not support gapless playback. Is this
true?
That would be the deal killer for me. I do not care about high bit rate
(mainly play mp3) but play a lot of live albums.

I have had a Squeezebox Duet for a few years now. I mainly use it to
play music stored on my PC, and occasionally listen to Podcasts and
Internet radio. I have two Android devices I use to play music, in
addition to the Duet, but I never use while house audio.

Look at Grace Digital for a range of "Traditional" style internet
radios. I have
I have one of these. I would definitely recommend it. You can load it
up with TuneIn radio to get any radio station you want, add Poweramp for
mp3s, a Podkicker podcast player, and Sqeezeliite and you are good to
go. Amazon keep having a sale, I have seen it as low as $130.
The only downside
I use squeezer on my phone and have also duet. I much prefer using the
duet controller to the phone. Maybe I am just used to it, but it seems
much easier to navigate with the "hard" scroll wheel than a touch
screen, and I like the easy to find and use track forward/back and pause
keys. I do
This seems wrong. My setup has a duet and two devices using
squeezeplay. I can control any of the devices either with my duet
controller or the squeezer app on my phone.

I was browsing around the web and I came across the Uyesee SoundMate M2.
Amazon sells it under a slightly different name for $44.

Its plays FLAC, uses DLNA and can stream directly from a phone or a

That's what I use mine for. I installed a copy of Alarm Clock plus. I
use this because it has a dimmer, so you can leave it on during the

Updated the Avy when I got home today, now tunein and poweramp are
compatible. Good job Zettaly, keep up the good work.

That's great news. Did they say anything about PowerAmp? I could not
get that installed either. Its a shame that a smart speaker device
supports so few audio

How does the sound compare to the Boom? That's what I find most
incredible about it. Something the size of a big clock-radio that
sounds like something much bigger.
I have never heard a boom (I have a Duet on my main stereo). I would
describe the sound as OK. Nothing special,
Another option is a Zettaly Avy. It,s a boom style box with speakers
with a touch screen between hat runs android. I just bought on and like
it very much. They cost $200 on Amazon now, but a couple of weeks ago
they were running a deal for $135. You can load Squeezeplayer to get

Mine just arrived. I want to play with it for a while before I write a
full review. Initial impressions are good. I was able to load
squeezeplay and control it with squeezer on my phone with no problem.
Tunein is not compatible but rad.io works well

I think you misunderstood me:
what I want is:
Hard disks - NONE
Power supply - same wall wart as a squeezebox
Disk controller - NONE
The idea woul be to use the NAS as the disk drive for the squeezecenter
box, or to have the option of adding a USB drive.

Mine works again after downloading the latest update from AVG, (at 7pm
Pacific time). AVG has a history of false positives this is the
third one I have had in the 4 years I have been using them. I did not
re-install anything, just downloaded the update.
