End of the album playlist.
Time to investigate Bluesound further
Offered me the latest upgrade. Ok, I'll take that. Might be sounding better, not sure.
They must have worked with Spotty as the Bluesound app works with the web browser
I was on Nils Frahm/s Tripping have now switched to his No Step on wing from Empty. All very nice
Another nudge for me towards streaming as Nil's CDs are priced reasonable high
Long list of "Music Services" including Neil Young. No YouTube

Volumio used to support YouTube, but no more. Seems they don't want any appliances to support it other than their own.
Stick with Bluetooth for YouTube.

Seamless switching on the Bluesound between the two
Is there an easy way to find out an artists discography available on each of the streaming services
To help me choose

I have just one spare Black Ravioli
What if it made a difference under the Bluesound ?
Played track - good
BR put in place, played track
That can't be. I'm imagining it
Same track minus BR, bit lacking
BR back. Yes. More air and space in the sound, more bass
This is the sublime track

It seems the Uk suppliers aren’t allowed to sell to customers outside the UK. I use a type of rubber cork sheet meant for under machinery. It’s about 20mm thick and very rigid. I’ve ran out now though and could do with a few more pieces or Black Ravioli. |

Will Brooky at MCRU not supply? There’s a note under the product description stating they don’t sell this product outside the UK. I’ll have a look at some places in Europe. |

Tony told me earlier this year I had to buy directly from BR, which I did (being outside the UK and the EU).

Tiddling around watching YouTube videos on't telly and up came
Jon Hopkins - Light through the veins
Love it so played it. Good quality
TV via Toslink direct into D-1000
The improvement itch - Can I extract more music ?
Played it again from the laptop - Bluetooth - Bluesound
Up a notch. Nice
How about YouTube music - up a notch
And Spotify > - a tiny notch
Ooh what if...
Bluesound already on, for Bluetooth
Fired it up fully with Spot selected on the Bluesound menu
Up another notch. Biggest so far
Nice

Been streaming a bit from Spotty via the Bluesound to fill in some gaps in CDs by certain artists
Message from Spotty to tell me to sign to a full account from my 3 month free trial....
From that I think Bluesound starts a 3 month free trial when you use it with Spot
Wish I'd known that

Which streaming co. ?
I'm deciding between Spot or Qobuz
Please tell me who you have found has the most albums when you search
Spot is my guess
Best quality is probably Qobuz for most, but will I hear the difference on a Bluesound ?
Does any service have
Geoffrey Richardson - Viola Mon Amour (album not just track)
YouTube has the track, reinforcing my opinion that YT has the biggest choice, but probably not the sound quality of the above

It's not on Spotify, I've just checked Only Viola Mon Amour album on Spotify is the one in the photo I've attached. Tidal had the same album but neither had the Geoffrey Richardson one. Don't have Qobuz so can't help there.  |

Seems only YT has the track.
None have the album

Certainly doesn't seem to be on either Tidal or Qobuz.

Pros and Cons of Spotify and Qobuz a personal take on this
Spotify
Best for discovering new music/ Discover weekly and release radar I constantly discover music I like that I do not know.
A better catalogue of music.
Average Sound quality could be better They need to move to red book
Cons
Cost More expensice than Qobuz yet sound quality not as good
Qobuz
Pros
Sound quality even on Bluetooth I can hear the difference, on a good streamer it is more obvious. I have bot tried Amazon prime but heaps better than Tidal IMO
Good value
Cons
Sometimes hard to find music
Algorithm is poor in comparison to Spotify I have never found something in my recommendations that was new to me that I like. To the point I no longer even bother trying.
