Your wine-tasting methodology is obviously more refined than mine. I would have finished the bottles on the first test. 😁...

[SamY]

Yes, but I'm using the Android version. It now appears that this is a Windows-only issue....

[SamY]

Now that's something I think we can all agree on!...

Works for me.

If you're just looking for a "plug and play" player solution (no LMS), consider the DAC32. I've had mine running for over a year now without a hiccup. Great sound, simple hookup and survives power outages without intervention.

Agree 100%. I spent a lot of time trying to convince myself that I can hear a difference between 24/96 and 24/192, but I just can't. On the other hand, I can clearly distinguish between 16/44.1 and 24/96....

Keep in mind that you have to stop and restart Orange Squeeze after changing the LMS setting in order to see the result....

I can personally recommend the Max2Play distribution, which I currently run on a very old RPi B+ and will soon be installing on a 4B.

Well, this is embarrassing! After noticing that the changes are actually saved correctly for the players using my Denon AVR Control plugin, I found a bug in the playerpref callback routine of the plugin that results in it incorrectly "eating" the playerpref commands for non-Denon players...

None of them are saved for me. We can start with the "Audio/On song change" crossfade setting. A change made on this page is not saved. However, if the change is made from the "Extra player settings/Audio" page ("Crossfade" setting) and "Save Settings" is pressed,...

Maybe I wasn't clear. Changes made to the settings on this screen are NOT saved when the dialog is closed. Otherwise, I wouldn't have reported it as a problem. ...

[SamY]

I've been meaning to post this for awhile but keep forgetting. As far as I can tell, there isn't any way to save changes made in the main "Player settings" menu screen. There is no "Save Settings" button displayed, as there is on the "Extra player settings" screens, and...

[SamY]

Good guess but I tried changing it to "Always ask" and Open Squeeze still used its Default Play Mode option setting, in my case "Add to Playlist".

EDIT: I take that back. After exiting Open Squeeze and restarting it, it did prompt me when selecting a track, so I think...

You don't say what version of Orange Squeeze you're running but it works for me with version 2.6.2-alpha.3 of Open Squeeze, which is the latest open source version of the app and can be downloaded from https://github.com/orangebikelabs/opensqueeze.

As far as I know, the commercial version...

Nice catch! I also was annoyed by that narrow text column beside the artist pic in MAI. Changing to "Small, 70%" fixed it without changing the main display except for losing the power button in the upper left corner, which is a trade-off I can live with. Thumbs up!

I'm running the Android APK with zoom level set to the mid-point and using the "Regular" font size option. This combination seemed to yield the best results for me after experimenting with the settings back when I first installed MS a year or so ago. Maybe I'll play around with it some more...

[SamY]

Mine doesn't either.

[SamY]

Thanks for the tip. I have a couple of artists that show up sorted by last name in the artist list but never knew why. Sure enough, they have the ARTISTSORT tag set that way. Easy fix!...

[SamY]

It works fine for me. Here are some screen shots. The first one shows the Qobuz plugin settings page, where the "Preferred format" must be set to "FLAC Hi-Res 24 bits />96 kHz". The second and third show the track info while playing in the Material Skin client. The fourth shows...

[SamY]

What plugin settings, if any, would need to be changed in order for the bridge to treat each track of a Radio Paradise FLAC Interactive stream separately, as LMS does? Currently it treats each 'block' of tracks as one track and updates the metadata only when the user manually skips forward to the next...
