Amazon doesn't have a public API, but Apple and Spotify do.
Amazon Music works with the Bluesound app. Anyone know how if Amazon doesn't have an API?
I'm still hoping for Spotify to integrate with Roon, so I can get the EQ for my LCD series. Not paying for another streaming service as long as the spotify family plan is so cheap, but a good pEQ makes the LCD2 my favorite.
They may not have a public API like Apple or Spotify, but Amazon can work directly with a vendor and provide them with an interface.
I check every day.
Have you ever spotted Nibiru?No, but that would be funny. My Schmidt-Cassegrain days were two telescopes ago (a Celestron 11" which I modified with fans, internal dew removal and flocking). The scope under wraps in the photo is a classical Cassegrain. Here's the scope uncovered, but before the interior renovations.
I don't enjoy being the bearer of bad news, but don't hold your breath that Spotify will ever integrate with Roon, except in the event -- highly unlikely, IMHO -- that Spotify sees enough opportunity in Roon to acquire them. I wonder how difficult it would be for some enterprising developer to build a Roon-like DSP/EQ application that can run on increasingly-cheap OTS hardware, and sell it at a decent price. Would certainly make for a great open source project, with enough collective interest to sustain the effort. Or maybe Spotify should just do something like that as a lark.
Why is it people always want what they can't have?
If Freya S had been this popular when it was available it would never have been discontinued.
Streaming music is a vicious-circle business model. Every time they gain another subscriber, their operating costs for paying royalties also goes up, and right now their operating costs are still going up faster than their revenue. Spotify continues to operate at a loss of over $2 million a day, so until they either see some light or can convince additional investors that there is light at the end of the tunnel, I suspect their business model will not include trying to acquire Roon. Roon is not big enough to entice them with sufficient additional subscribers to make up for their current losses. If I had to guess, once Apple or Amazon becomes the dominant streaming provider (which they will do) they will absorb Spotify, and maybe Tidal and Qobuz too.
