What are you streaming tonight?


As we are in the modern age of music I thought I would see how this fares.
We have threads specific for cdp and tt so why not streaming as it is a modern media.
I don't care if you stream Tidal, Deezer, Spotify, Paradise Radio or any number of internet stations.
I would like you to share your tastes and method of streaming.

Not really that much new added to Qobuz today IMHO.
Paul Weller, David Bowie and Workingman's Dead is about it.

Will try them all later.
Sometimes I feel like the proverbial one man band.....

Outsider ... Uriah Heep.

Tidal
Big thumbs up for Gary Moore.

Caught him live back in England with Thin Lizzy. Very, very underrated guitarist.
And he owns and plays ol greenie!
Sounds perfect to me!
I do similar in the hot tub, got a cheapo iHome Bluetooth speaker I use through my phone.
More than good enough.
I was considering setting up powered outdoor speakers but thought why bother.
I second 16f4 welcome Julie-priest.
Nice to see you venture out of the Shadows!!
Tbh Greg I consider it to be Tidals loss not mine.

My level of analog playback with all 3 sources is at such an all time high I do not find myself streaming anywhere near as much as I used to.
So just the one service in Qobuz is fine for my needs for now.

If Amazon get their act together would naturally have to look at their offering but right now they are worse than Spotify.
And as of right now neither mconnect or Bubbleupnp offer Amazon music as an option to stream anyway so......

I tried to get into that Mudhoney album and just could not.
Maybe it needs a few plays......
On Qobuz.
I have ceased using Tidal for now after they sent me an email offering me a free 30 day trial to "come back and see what’s changed".
Fair enough I thought, signed up for the trial and bang $19.99 out of my PayPal.
After numerous waste of time emails between Tidal and myself I just had my bank reverse the charge as fraudulent and screw Tidal!
Agreed that analog media storage is a pain, takes room and looks unsightly no matter how you cook it!
But just something about it that streaming can never replace imho, and I am not referring to SQ here.

Saying that listening to good old FM radio right now so go figure!
My vintage Sanyo receiver is a real gem.

I hear you on Amazon, not something I had given much thought to but it is relevant.
Not too impressed with that offering by Alice Cooper tbh.

Go back in time a little

Stoneground 3.
Guardians of the Galaxy vol 1.

Amazon music

Just had to try it and yes vast improvement to old with actual complete albums to play now.

Not blown away by the sq though, I feel Qobuz is better.

But it's new so who knows .....

Its a very good album with a lot of power and emotion showing in her vocals.

I had my trials with Amazon just getting it to be able to play on my main rig as documented on other threads.

But now I have it reliably streaming I have to say so far it looks like it could be a winner with a bit more work on the interface.

So far I have found some albums that are not on Qobuz.
And of course some on Qobuz not on Amazon.

Overall I am happy enough as who can complain at a 90 day free trial!
Gives me 90 days to evaluate and see what changes and improvements Amazon make to it.

I have only listened to two albums under the " ultra HD" label but both were mighty impressive.

With a bit more interface work Amazon could have a winner here.
I admit I was skeptical at first but so far it is looking good.
Greg
I do not see it under android or iPad apps, very odd.
I do see an option to run gapless playback in Bubbleupnp but that would be for ALL music through that app not just Qobuz.

Maybe shoot them an email?
Fortunately I can honestly say that I have never cared for music by The Beatles.
With the exception of a very few songs.
I have most of their works on R2R if I ever really felt the need to listen ... Lol.

I gather the 50th is a good work but just not my cup of tea Guv!
Radio Paradise Rock Mix
Phone to rental car stereo via Bluetooth.
Tech is wonderful!
