The free music archive looks interesting. Creative Commons licensing. I'm listening to Proviant Audio, Good Morning, Dear (feat. Hans Mathisen) from Welcome Wilderness Never heard of them before. Very interesting modern jazz. A bit Hidden Orchestra. More on Spotify. *Pi3 with piCoreplayer

Interesting point about the general dsp plugin. I suspect that most things could be made as an inguz drc file. I have a feeling that there is an open reel emulator somewhere. Do you think it may be possible to take an existing product and transcode (if that's the right word) for SBS? --

What i was getting at is that both inguz and brutefir is somewhat complicated and probably scare away people who just want more or less bas or similar. And none of the current 3rd party solutions plays well with transcoding, seems to be a lot off messing with convert.conf to get things going .

I don't doubt that there are many other interesting apps which could be written. It just occurred to me that since many people like the sound of analogue, and I have no doubt it is technically feasible to produce some sort of analogue/vinyl filter, it might be interesting to see if someone would

I understand that outside the Squeezebox environment it has been demonstrated that by DSP a digital file can be made to sound like vinyl. As I understand it this was done by .VST file which can't be directly used by SBS. Lots of people still like the sound of records more than cds or digital

IMHO, the main advantage of vinyl is that the albums were mastered without all the crap they do today; especially loudness. More dynamic range sounds better on a good system. -- riffer riffer's Profile:
