I'm saying I don't like them. What do you mean by source? Obviously a poor original will never be improved by Spotify. I'm saying the overall quality is poor. And to be clear, Triode, are you saying the settings in Spotify's own app/client do not affect those in your plugin?

When I started this little sub-thread in post 1,936, I was simply moaning about the overall quality of Spotify's supposedly 'high quality' 320k stream. It does seem to vary - which I imagine must be something to do with how Spotify has changed its conversion and/or storage habits over time - but in general I'm disappointed to have to pay for something that isn't consistently top-notch. JackOfAll, that's an interesting thought. Is this the same thing as Enable Volume Normalization in the Spotify's own app/client prefs? If yes, see my question above about interaction between Spotify's app/client and Triode's plugin. -- whitman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ whitman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9053 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79706 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
