Stream quality can vary i had both good and bad experiences , I a bit in doubt on their encoding process ,even some of the truly 320k encoded stuff does not seems transparent to me while other sounds perfect ? I dont know if libspotify use some decoding and if that varies in quality on different platforms ? As it actually works on pretty low powered NAS platforms one could suspect that some shortcuts using less maths intensive methods that uses no FPU could be invoked . But that would involve a fair bit of experimentation equipment that i dont have to actually test so i have not done that . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79706
