I cant find a suitable OGF stream to test with. All the ones I found
listed were either http and would not play via https, or were geoblocked
in NL.
Or is FLAC in an internet radio stream always OGF die to the issue with

I have a P.O.C. working to direct the 'real' lossless stream to the Echo
instead of using the /stream.mp3 route if an LMS favorite (1) represents
a *https* stream and (2) has the word FLAC or lossless anywhere in the

Although it's (as yet) undocumented by Amazon, I've long suspected that
