Re: [slim] New Podcast picks on Radio-Staff Picks-Ben's Picks

Sorry to be a 'wet blanket' but I 'd prefer that Staff Picks be made an uninstallable item. It's completely out of date, and I'm not particularly interested in the choices of long-departed staff! Might have been an 'amusing' personal feature years ago, but it's now only of historical

Further testing with the ickStream Tidal plug-in. I see that Tidal presents some Albums in it's Web View that are up-coming but not yet available and all the tracks are greyed out. These appear in the ickstream UI without comment and lead to unneccessary sound card testing/rebooting etc when

There is a test up at http://www.hifisoundtesten.de/ It's AAC 320kbit vs FLAC and quite interesting, despite the fact that I did not like any of the samples... ;) I ran the test twice, once with heaphones, then again with my NuPros. Surprisingly I got 3 out of 5 on both runs, and the same 3 out

By the way,using Tidal for music discovery is bad. Also,I downloaded several albums in HIFI and I have no doubt that a couple of them were not lossless. Im wondering if some of their music library is not in lossless format. Anyone know if its all supposed in be in lossless?

Assuming that the other person reading the forum also enjoys Procol Harum, a quick post to say that the BBC is broadcasting a Procol Harum concert tomorrow evening, Friday. It's on Radio 2 and I'm guessing the Listen Live feature of the iPlayer plug-in on LMS will play the broadcast. Though I
