Re: Is the Squeezebox Touch still relevant?

The Touch is a tabletop unit, you may be thinking of the Duet?

Re: Is the Squeezebox Touch still relevant?

It really depends on what you want to do. A Touch connected to a Logitech Media Server (LMS) running somewhere with your music library is still a great solution. Supports Spotify connect, and there is a new Material skin plugin which gives a great user interface for the phone, tablet etc. Including ...

Re: RE: Re: Small device needed to get Spotify music to a mini hi-fi system

Maybe Logitech Squeezebox Server still works? I used that to stream Spotify before ... I still use squeezebox server. It will run on a Raspberry Pi, with a Hat dac. There is a 3rd party plugin for Spotify but it's not perfect. If you're considering a Pi a think Volumio works better with Spotify. A ...

Re: Small device needed to get Spotify music to a mini hi-fi system

A chrome cast audio should do the job, if you can still find one, they were discontinued last year. From memory they support spotify connect so you can just use the Spotify app to control it.

Re: The Dublin Audio Show - November 16/17 2019

I popped In this afternoon for a couple hours, lots of very top end kit there with naim statement amps and kef blades etc. I have to agree that the best sound was the kef blade demo. The B&W 802s on the end of those rotel amps were moving a lot of air, but not as refined as the kef demo. Glad I ...

Re: Can't find Squeezbox app in addroid Play store

You should be able to find the logitech app somewhere, which you can side load onto the tablet, but there may be compatibility issues with newer versions of android.

A lot of old apps are being removed from the play store due to security issues.

The Lms software and players are now been maintained and updated through the community on the slimdevices forum. Luckily all the software is open source and still being m...
