Thread: MusicBee - Hidden Gem?

    Default MusicBee - Hidden Gem?

    Hi all,

    Been using MusicBee for about 24 hours and it's currently driving my Allo Boss via Volumio.

    I have been using Jriver to do this but found at times things sounded a little etched, especially at 32/96

    I found this software by accident and set it up to work in the same way as Jriver did. However I am finding 32/96 sounds far meatier than with Jriver.

    Any idea why that would bee? Lol, see what I did there lol

    Audirvana sounds different to jriver too. Probably to do with algorithms. Isn't everything

    Must confess not tried music bee, certainly for a while if at all. Got a feeling I tried it once and it didn't work well.
    There is an American one too but it was similar in getting it to work. Ammara or something like that.
    Jriver is all singing but audirvana sounds a bit better.

    Ps I edited the title.. It was annoying me lol

    Interesting, and its free. I wonder what the catch is? Free often means something hidden or that comes later that requires payment, or ads.

    I can't see any hidden features that need a subscription of any kind. There may be something but apart from just listening, I haven't delved too far into it
