Completely unrelated: I just bought a Chromecast Audio a few days ago. I don't much like the handling, am used to the comfort of LMS and it's control apps (Squeeze Ctrl!). There is one thing I do love about it: Proper integration with Google Play Music!
I'm a "Sublime" subscriber with Qobuz, and I really love their lossless streaming and focus on classical music. However, it's incredibly hard to actually find anything to listen to, because their recommendations and playlists are basically nonexistent. With Play Music (you get 90 Days free with the Chromecast) it's absolutely no work at all. It very quikcly figures out what I like (Classical music, Classical Soundtracks) and I've already discovered more new music I like than in the last months with Qobuz. This is something I absolutely hate about Qobuz. They want you to do all the work, they offer no personalized recommendations, no "Radio Mode" or anything, just a regular "In the Press" and "New Releases" section that they then use for their Playlists as well, often in a terrible amateurish fashion (packing in tracks from a complete recording of an opera that then stop in the middle of a note because the next track would immediately connect, but they did not add that...). Enough ranting! I guess you just can't have everything...either lossless and easy to handle (LMS/Qobuz) or full support of Streaming Services, but then in mp3 lossy quality and with the hassle of switching between apps, manually connecting to "Cast" devices etc... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CommanderROR's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59408 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98526 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
