Another possibility if you don't mind typing a bit, which avoids the hassle of downloading and opening new files, is to just mouse over the .m3u or .pls link WITHOUT clicking it, and look at the bottom left of your browser. You'll see the url that link would go to; manually type out the part...

If you click on one of the .pls and .m3u links that you see on the left of their information about each streaming station you will download a .pls or .m3u file. Open your Downloads folder and right-click on the .m3u or .pls file and choose "Open With" and select Notepad from the choices. If...

That's really interesting, thank you for the reply. At what point, dollar-wise, would you say a well set up system (speakers in the right place etc) would be capable of revealing an appreciable difference between lossless and lossy? My system is about $US 2,000 and is in a dedicated room. I...

Hi everyone, I have wondered, as I'm sure many of you did, if my system could play music well enough to let me distinguish between lossy and lossless streaming music. I'd tried comparing my FLAC CD rips to the same album streaming on Spotify (I don't have Tidal/Qobuz) and honestly couldn't hear...
