I'm going to upload an album as a trial.

I think it also offers an online cd ripper.

A quick look and AFAICT it needs WebSockets to stream audio. 

For another service, I looked at supporting WebSocket within LMS.
IIRC LMS uses AnyEvent but the CPAN Websocket module needs a newer
version of AnyEvent than that used by LMS.  
To update AnyEvent may not be too hard except for the Windows version of
LMS which has old libraries.  
Ralphy is looking at updating the Perl used by the Window version of LMS
and if that were done then maybe the path would be clear to update
AnyEvent.

[slim] I Broadcast - any thoughts?

Just came across this cloud based service... Anybody used it?

Seems to have a public api which some guru might be able to use for a
plugin.

Re: [slim] Comparisons between current (2022) streaming service integrations?

2022-03-14 Thread downtrip

Perhaps another of your criteria should be privacy? 

All of these options have fairly opaque privacy policies and they are
collecting a lot of data about us. Spolify for instance has filed a
surveillance by speech-recognition patent that claims to detect
“emotional state, gender, age, or accent” to recommend music. Which is
fair enough if you are OK with that. Personally I would feel like I'm
being stalked in a bad way.

I use Deezer at the moment because it seems less bad and is European
FWIW. I have no use for Tidal's MQA. I may possibly move to Qubuz since
it appears to have no drm. However, my partner has learned to use the
Deezer app and probably wouldn't be happy with change. Ho hum.

To answer your questions I have the Deezer app installed on 3 RPis and I
listen to my Premium account at 16/44.1 FLAC. Sometimes the RPis are
playing different songs simultaneously. Deezer doesn't register them as
'connected devices' which is odd, since at times there can be 3 people
listening to different music streams. I tend to play albums, my partner
makes use of the playlists and seems happy with the content of them. I
have no problem with content and I don't think I have ever read a review
of a band or piece of music and not found it on Deezer - and my taste is
definitely not mainstream.

So, yes, this is a thumbs-up for Deezer with caveats on privacy.

Did you double check on mysqueezebox.com? Is it still there and
configured? Anything server.log, in particular messages about signing in
to mysqueezebox.com? Did you double check your mysb credentials in LMS?
