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.

^^^ I'm not sure I really hear much difference in sound quality,which IMO is CD quality.I really like the Shuffle option & the choices of songs in specific genre are always right on my taste...I have Prime Music if I want to listen to a specific song or CD..Main reason I upgraded was to eliminate commercials... |
I spend many hours each week mostly streaming from my music server. I run both Logitech Media Server to stream to Squeezebox Touches (2) and a Squeezebox Radio. I also stream from Plex Media Server to various in house devices like tablets, Amazon Fire TV box, and Iphone. I synch files to the Iphone in Plex and then stream from the Iphone to ApplePlay in my car. I also stream on occasion from Radio Paradise and other internet stations on various devices including Squeezebox Touches and Squeeze Radio, and browser on tablets, iphone, and other devices. Occasionally I will stream Amazon music and Pandora from Iphone to Carplay. I still have a large vinyl collection also. I convert those to digital now when I listen and stream the files from same music server from there on in at home, in car, in the office, out of town, wherever. So I am pretty much streaming all the time these days. Good music available everywhere, sounds great and love it! |
Thanks uber. I’ve been at it for a number of years now and been through the various ups and downs. The biggest down is not having a backup of your files when the day comes (and it will eventually) where your disk storage fails. Maintaining and using backups is a bit of a pain! Not an issue if you are streaming content provided by others over the internet. I’ve had to restore my somewhat large music library twice from backups due to disks going bad after a few years or so. It takes me over a day to restore my entire library currently if needed. I wish converting vinyl properly were faster and easier but I’ve come up with a cost effective solution that works very well yet still time consuming. |
Using an Auralic Aries Mini into a Schiit Gungnir MB to listen to ripped CDs as well as music from Tidal, Spotify and internet radio (like Radio Paradise that reubent has posted about). Spotify’s Browse/Discover function has been a great way to discover new music. Last night listened to William Orbit’s "Hinterland" on Tidal. Number 4 in his Strange Cargo series. A point of clarification. The Minority Report isn’t strictly CD only, though at the time it was started (2012) CD was the prevailing "digital" medium (the biggest part of the "non-vinyl half") - hence "What’s in your CDP tonight?" Over the intervening 5 years, my CDP has gotten less and less use. Most of what I’m posting there is from Tidal or Spotify along with CDs ripped to hard drive. It’s rare to be actually spinning a disc these days though I still prefer to buy when I find a "keeper" on one of the services. Amazing how quickly things change. |
Streaming Electric Gypsy Trio Live at the Rumpelkammer Hot Jazz Festival on Tidal. Setup is an Auralic Aries Mini with Sbooster power supply to an Audio Note Dac-3 Signature. I basically just stream Tidal or my ripped cd's and downloads I keep on a NAS drive which is backed up in a hybrid RAID configuration and also backed up to Amazon's Glacier cloud service. |
Spotify out of my I-pad air using an Apple photo USB interface out of the I-pads lightening connector to a Dragonfly Red DAC plugged into the USB then into a Dynaco PAS-4 Tube preamp (Panor Corp version 1995) using Telefunken E88C tubes feeding twin Harman Kardon Citation II tube amps (1960) using EI KT 90 tubes, driving a pair of Martin Logan SL3 Electrostats. I select Spotifyies high resolution feed, which is better than CD quality. Spotify allows you to create up to 10,000 songs in your library. I’ve got 5 decades of collecting vinyl and a large collection of CD’s. I prefer the Spotify feed, outstanding separation, clarity, immediate response to selections (no waiting at all, its instant), and my digital library now eclipses my physical collection. Couldn’t be happier, they have everything I’ve every looked for. |
How great is it that with a touch of a button we can relive a complete decade? My Pandora 80’s Alternative station...Oh man,The Go Go’s,Till Tuesday,Berlin,Talking Heads,The Bangles,The Tubes(GREAT story of seeing them in a peanut bar in Monterey,Ca.that was the local Hells Angels meeting place),U2 Rattle & Hum concert in Phoenix,Az.with BB King opening!The US Festival!I’m amazed I actually remember a lot more than I thought I could,lololol... |
John Lemke's "Nomad Frequencies" by way of Spotify (Tidal was having buffering issues earlier this evening). For the curious, the whole album on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3fI7AXC2O0 |
Jamming to some Scary Pockets, a fun side-project from Patreon founder (and one half of Pomplamoose) Jack Conte. Basically funk'd versions of a number of past and present pop hits performed with Conte on keys and a rotating crew of studio musicians and guest vocalists. They have a bunch on Youtube as well as Tidal. |
