batnoises Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 So I've recently purchased a chromecast audio, hooked it up to my audio setup, and with high dynamic range enabled I'm very pleased with the sound. Which audio players do you guys use with your Chromecast audio, or similar alternative? I enjoy being able to stream Spotify and the like at higher quality than Bluetooth with ease, but I'm currently disappointed at the lack of a scrobbling feature for last fm. I am also disappointed with the inability to cast from bandcamp, but the simplicity and convenience of the device more than make up for it. I'm currently trying to get this https://github.com/k9ordon/chromecast-audio-scrobble working to add scrobbling capabilities, but was curious if anyone on VC had any insight on an alternative way to do this.

Shitty Rambo Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I love my Chromecast Audio. Blindly shouting, "Hey Google, play DEVO in the music room," in my house and it instantly happening is magical. batnoises 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batnoises Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) I've solved this issue indirectly- I found and installed a program to cast audio from my PC to the chromecast audio while I control my computer's spotify through my phone. This does not disable scrobbling because spotify is still technically playing the files locally. Windows Mac This solved another issue I was also having and I'm sure will help many others: I've been running a 20 foot 3.5mm to RCA cable from my computer to my amplifier for months and have noticed and disliked the audio quality loss. I can now mirror all my computer's audio without dealing with signal degradation. Edited June 1, 2017 by EGsynergy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
