it looks like there is an interesting thread about this and according to google the device itself is actually capable of gapless playback but the app needs to support it - I can't confirm myself which apps have been modified (at one stage it was google music and Spotify, but the last comment said this feature was broken with a release of CCA firmware) - it's hard to read the truth in that forum posting; https://code.google.com/p/google-cast-sdk/issues/detail?id=745
In terms of volume equalisation, right now all my listening comes from Spotify streaming and tunein (as I haven't had the time to re-rip my old CDs into FLAC), Spotify themselves have an option to equalise the volumes of their tracks, meaning this is a non issue for me - so taking everything into account, the chormecast audio still wins the day for me - it's a far simpler, modern and cheaper solution that really does work well (at-least for me). All my playlists currently refer to Spotify tracks. thanks for your comments - i guess i was always a lightweight squeezelite user and the two features that i really wanted (multi room audio sync and native Spotify app integration), either weren't available or didn't work consistently (especially the sync on wired and/or wireless). I'm going to pull out the hifiberry daughter board on one of the rpis and re-purpose it as a Home Assistant server; https://home-assistant.io/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ashleyw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58923 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106113 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
