Tons of great radio stations, including Czech Classical flac. I've not listened to it yet.
Is it possible to add my own internet radio stations to the list?
My wife and daughter want it to play Spotify real bad. Is that possible? I guess I'd look for linux spotify app (my first instinct suggests it doesn't exist.)
As for filtering, etc. I've set Moode to "resample" from 44.1/16 to 352.8/32bit via "SoX: very high quality." That made a really nice improvement in tone and refinement compared to original redbook flac. More info:
https://sourceforge.net/p/soxr/code/ci/master/tree/READMEThen I picked an output filter on my DAC that got rid of the hyper spacious hyper detail and made it like normal music listening without the mental fireworks that audiophiles love about the Vega DAC. The DAC is so revealing, it can be a bit rough on remastered CD recordings of 60s jazz, etc. I used Trane My Fav Things to pick which filter since the soprano is sensitive to those tone changes. That's all I've done so far, but after those two changes, I thought of you and said to myself, "all done at least until I hear from Mike... "
Moode has an optional Advanced Kernel that you can install which is somehow better than the standard core, but only runs on Pi2 or 3. So I turned that on also, but did so before I started listening, so I don't know if SQ changes. They say it does.
OK so when you run a squeezebox clone like PiCore, then you are also running the LMS on the Pi also. I was thinking you were still running server on separate box like the old days. Does LMS and PiCoreplayer install together as a package, or separate installs? I'll have to read about that. I think I still have an ooooold slimserver running on my NAS
I am playing music now from flacs on my NAS via wired ethernet. I have WAVs on the nas too, and Moode can navigate the wav folders but no music files appear in the folders. So it seems to need a metafile header of some type to be able to display it. No problem, I've been meaning to rerip those to flac for a decade.
The Moode player was a bit flaky when I first started using it. I was worried that it was buggy and annoying. Pause button wouldn't work, inverting the song timer would restart the song, Clear and play would not clear, on and on. But that was because of all the config setting changes I was making without reboot. After a reboot it was bug free and rock solid all night. Boots in a few seconds.
I'll check out PiCoreplayer
Thanks
