Hi RobbH, In the Netherlands every year a national radio station, npo radio 2, is broadcasting the top 2000 best songs. They start on Christmas day and they go on night and day to finish at 24.00 at new years eve. People can vote for their favorite songs in the period before Christmas. Quite fun to listen to. Classical and jazz are excluded. You can see this years list here: https://www.nporadio2.nl/top2000 Living: EtherRegen -> Ultrarendu -> Benchmark DAC2 HGC -> Benchmark AHB2 -> ATC SCM19 v2 & Sennheiser HD650 Kitchen: SB Touch -> Audio Pro Addon T10 gen2 Kids rooms: SB Booms Bedroom: SB Boom & SB Radio Controls: iPeng, Material Skin & LMS via internet Server: Windows 10 Pro with LMS 7.9.2 Spare: 2 SB Touch, 1 SB3, 2 SB Radio ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Blackfiction's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20587 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111414 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
