Another vote for Spotify - I use it via LMS and the Spotty plug-in
running on a Raspberry Pi. I like it because of their selection of
music. I listen mostly to Scandinavian music, and there's no other
service I've found with the same catalog. (Not surprising, since
they're based in Sweden.)
(I've read through the Windows 10 and other threads, and can't see
anything that helps me. It's probably something simple, and I apologize
in advance, if so.)

How does the sound compare to the Boom? That's what I find most

I've got all three, and have to say that even as a Premium Spotify

my Radio. The difference in sound quality is huge, aside from also

I didn't, as the other channels were active in our area. But the router

I found it was a problem to have the microwave between the router and
the Squeezebox. Our solution was to put the router on a shelf about a

One other consideration is whether you can move the router. We had low

they would not sync.
