That's why I haven't mentioned the squeezelite alternative as I'd also prefer to keep all changes as close as possible to the current. There are other lua changes needed as well to manage the amp auto power off and you need to disable starting the squeezeplay player. The spotify applet uses the defunct libspotify so it no longer works and wma decoding can be handled in LMS with bpa's PlayWMA plugin. First step. I'm going to POC the aac decoder using the current 7.7.3 squeezeplay with no other changes so it can be installed in place of the current firmware jive binary for testing. Your idea to update squeezeplay to match the touch 7.8.0 version seems the best option.
