    On that image of my scan I'm showing 851 Spotify albums and 502 Qobuz if that's what you mean

    Hmm I’m not sure it effected the scan on the previous incarnation, just wouldn’t display on the player or access after 500..
    pretty sure it scanned the lot though.

    Is Artist Biography, Album Reviews and Lyrics available for your own music or just streaming services?

    I just never understood the need for Roon; perhaps I missed something that users really enjoy.
    Main system: Sony TTS8000; AT1010; Audio Technica Art1; The Lentek; Cambridge 851n, Yamaha NS1000.
    System 2 - SBT; Technics SH-X1000 DAC; Denon PMA-850

    need to be using the likes of qobuz to get its advantages, and it doesnt rush at you, but it grows to a point of want rather than need

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Been using LMS since I first bought an SBT many years ago and have just continued to use it through many changes on the Pi based server and players I use . Material Skin is a very welcome addition the details of any track played from any source (Radio Paradise , Your own Library , Tidal ,Spotify etc) are all updated as each track starts . There are in my case a numbe of Albums/Artists which have no information but as this is a free service no complaints from me. If your taste is more main stream then no reall issues .

    LMS offers a very professional and excellent output and is updated and kept working on a regular basis by dedicated volunteers . I love it and find the additional support and infrmation throught the Squeezebox Forum to be as good as anything out there. The recent changes of streams and file types of the BBC was a case in point , lots of other streamers lost the plot for the highest rate of streaming due to the dropping of Tune In but the LMS uses an additional APP / Plugin called BBC iPlayer which just got upgraded and kept on playing .

    It does, see the screenshots to see what I was able to access when I played Adele's 21 album from my NAS drive just a few minutes ago.

    The last 2 screenshots show Agitation Free from Qobuz which you can tell by the little Qobuz icon superimposed on the album cover, and Ali Ferguson with the Spotify icon, it does this for each of the streaming services you subscribe to.
