My primary reason for not switching is that I want an AirPlay option, and Squeezelite + Shairtunes plugin works for that. Secondary reason is cost. Even though they are only $30-ish, I have 8 zones running that only cost $7/each for USB soundcards. That's $56 I won't get back, plus the $240 for

To my post above: Now it seems it might be related to the internal sound card of my fitpc2, since I also cannot play back anything. Usually I use a USB-DAC, so I never realized I don't get any signal through the analogue out. And this might influence the same soundcard's input...

That said: I think the idea behind the Last.fm thing, at least for me, would be to keep track of music _independent_ of the service you use so when you switch from Spotify to TIDAL (or... more likely... from TIDAL to something else soon...) you can keep your favorites Understood. LastMix

Well, we've done this a few years ago with our demo ickStream controller using LMS as a source, but that wasn't about adding it to the library itself but just combining the view of different libraries, something one could do with LMS if just there was a decent search within services. I've planned

Yes. Saves a lot of power compared to DAC+amp which is pretty important on mobile. That said... It performs better if you can adapt the filter used to the (known) speaker so it's a more likely candidate for built-in speakers and digital headphones. For the adapter I'm wondering whether you really
