[slim] Alternatives to LastFM available for the Boom in UK ?

2014-04-05 Thread swayzak
I am still grieving but slowly coming terms with loss of LastFM device streaming. I can still scrobble via LMS and PC at work. More specifically now, are there good radio services available (with some form of smart playlist function) for me to use instead on the Boom via MySB.com ? I've looked

Amazon and Google Play are two separate markets. SqueezePlayer is also available on Amazon App Store, but you'd need to purchase twice. If you really want to save the money: download the AndroidPit App on your phone and Amazon device. You can purchase the App from this neutral store as well.

[slim] Still Love My Squeeze But Hardly Use Logitech Kit Now

2014-04-05 Thread Blisteringblue
While I still love Squeezebox and LMS, as the title suggests I don't really use the squeezebox kit. I mainly listen while I work on my home office PC running LMS using Local Player. Decent sound-card and decent 2.1 speakers. My daughter has claimed the Boom, and while she loves it, it pains me

Not surprised that Erland's plugins are perhaps the main reason you stick with LMS. It DOES surprise me, however, that with all the new products coming on the market, not one appears to be putting any effort in replicating some of the functionality he brought to the table. 2-SB3s, 1-Duet,

All my pals seem to have Sonos kit now and when I describe what I do with the plugins for LMS they are amazed. They seem to do very little other than simply play music and spotify. Don't get me wrong, I still dust off the boom and the receiver when we are entertaining because they are great for

Well I've already found stations which play stuff I like (eg. SomaFM), and scrobble to my LastFM account (but don't have smart playlists or take into account my scrobbling/listening history. This is a start as I can still love tracks of new stuff and use these to explore new artists, albums
