I hear ya, bro.Well, just buy this computer for lots of money, bro.
Yes, you need another streamer too, bro.
Give us monthly money too, bro.
A, well, you have to buy CDs or rent streaming as well, bro.
Sorry bro, we are experiencing technical difficulties with Quobuz.
Sorry bro, not Roon certified.
Of course we support Linux bro, but we don't support THAT Linux.
Wontfix bro, no usecase.
Wontfix bro, expected behaviour.
I feel that ripping and playing my own CDs is where it's at.
Apart from deficiencies of catalogue and searchability in case of Classical music, it's the relentless push to pay a monthly fee that I detest and wish to avoid.
I have my own collection the is comprised of 2-3k discs, (haven't counted them recently), all ripped & meticulously corrected for metadata, so it is trivial for me to locate whatever I want using my Foobar2000 interface.
Most of my listening is "serious" listening, and that type of listening is to my own collection. Sometimes I listen casually, say while I'm reading book; in that case I recommend CBC Music Playlists. CBC has huge number of preprogrammed playlists in many genres -- including 34 in the Classical genre alone.
I don't have much use for streaming devices. I set up I a Raspberry 4 system almost a ago and tried it with piCorePlayer and Volumio -- I don't use it. They had over no advantages at all vs. using my dedicated music computer and Foobar2000.
