Mysqueezebox.com no more

Shame to hear that mysqueezebox.com will soon be no more…

Cancelled my Tidal subscription since I mainly use that on the SB’s. Deezer will also stop working.

Sad. They were a (very affordable) pioneer.

Apparently Qobuz and Spotify will still work with the community-maintained LMS.

Only ever used my SB for rips, hanging a hard drive off the back. Always sad to see the remorseless drive to obsolescence of absolutely everything. All change is bad; the old ways are best.

Also only use sb for rips,longest hi fi separate I’ve ever had,around 17 years. Has been brilliant,though could do with a new remote

You can get them on tinternet. Did it a couple of years ago so forgotten details, but there are traders that will fix you up with workable alternative for not much brass.

Or just use a smartphone app? I rarely use my remote, it’s now 12 years old and has gone a bit sticky in the way ageing plastic can.

Forgot about the app thing.
Yes remote buttons feel a bit tacky when pressed and not responsive.

These cleaned up the sticky mess on my SB remotes very nicely

Its a pain, i dont use Tidal much but the rest of the family do, so i need to work out whether to switch to Spotify or Qobuz

We have several SBTs around the place, and i mainly listen to ripped cds or bbc sounds tbh

BBC sounds will still work, is that correct? TuneIn radio however won’t?

I am running it on LMS via a Pi using the plug in without mysqueezebox integration.

ah that’s good to know. I run LMS on a Pi as well. I have been using Tidal (and Deezer) as well though.

Anyone have recent experience of Qobuz via LMS? The Qobuz library seems a lot more extensive than when I last tried it.

Yeah, I use the Qobuz plugin and it works fine

Stopped using Tidal a few years ago and have been using Qobuz since it first started. Prefer Qobuz over Tidal and less faff than the spotty plugin

I’ve just updated my picoreplayer server to Lyrion Music Server. I was still using v7 or something like that, and still running Logitech Media Server, which worked fine until it all died one day. Should probably get into better habits with updating stuff.

I am massively impressed with Lyrion though. Web interface works on mobile devices now, so no need for iPeng, and Deezer works again!
