I received the same message, but from someone else..... P

Thank you for the info and the link which I'll have a look at tomorrow. Perhaps I ought to delete Asset Control....... It's a shame I can't get JRiver to display my library how I'd want to (by folder), as by all accounts that system does provide gapless playing. I have quite a lot of recordings of continuous music split into tracks so gapless playing really is essential. The only other alternative should all else fail is to join up all the continuous tracks!

John, I did indeed think Asset was involved in the gapless process until the other day, and had begun to think there is a conflict between control points. The Asset edit window says last active control point is auto-selected. I have Asset Control which appears four times, once each for the CLiC, Oppo 105, TM player and on its own. As well as those, other control points are Twonky as part of Windows 6.0 service pack 2, PVConnect and KnOS. I guess one or more of the non-Asset control points gets used for some reason, and has the disadvantage of not enabling gapless. The BubbleUPnP re

Yes, the CLiC does handle gapless and shows it can do so with Twonky. Unfortunately, I now remember why I gave up on Twonky - it loses my library and the whole thing needs repopulating every couple of days, so I've uninstalled it. I've now reinstalled a slightly newer version of Asset. My new problem, hinted in the post above, is Asset is now not on the list of media servers. It doesn't show up after reinstallation, rebooting of computer and router and so on. Thanks for the suggestion about minim+bubble - I'll try that in a few days. PS I notice Asset version 5 appeared at dbpowera

I have a Musical Fidelity CLiC wired to the network. I would like UPnP software to provide gapless streaming. On the face of it, Asset should fit the bill. It's not resource-hogging, and works well without crashing, and allows viewing by folder, but doesn't provide gapless with the CLiC. https://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?34672-Gapless-support&highlight=gapless I gather that changing to a Linn DS or Naim would solve the gapless problem with Asset. Can anyone confirm that? That would be a rather expensive fix. I went back to Twonky (3.1), which does seem resourc

HDtracks download manager...
Kenneth Horne replied to indirstr8s's topic in Music Downloads & Streaming
I have tried from the UK to buy various items from HDTracks and failed. However, I have very recently managed to buy from the selection of Everests so perhaps they have world-wide distribution rights for those. -
Audite is offering 24 bit downloads from its site. There's a free track here: Grieg - free track Here's the download main page: High Resolution Here's the full catalogue: =DOWNLOAD"]Catalogue

Berlin Philharmonic to launch it's own label -
Kenneth Horne replied to brucknerdoc's topic in Music Downloads & Streaming
For me the physical product makes far more sense at this stage as the multichannel option is included. -
I do have both on SACD - the Biber is especially stunning!

Is Northstar not the equivalent of Polyhymnia? That is, they produce recordings for various labels. I notice in the list from the link above several I have, mostly on SACD. Some are on Challenge Classics, others on Zig-Zag, Turtle and so on. First-class recordings, especially recommendable are the Combattimento Consort Amsterdam ones. Unfortunately 24 bit downloads are not available, it seems, though you can sample some of list here: Combattimento Consort Amsterdam - Télécharger et écouter les albums.

New daily deal at eclassical!

Today's daily deal is well worth investigating if you've not already done so: Francisco Mignone - orchestral works Award-winning release 10/10 and Disc of the Month ClassicsToday.com and ClassicsTodayFrance.com Choc du Mois Le Monde de la Musique Fono Forum April 2005 Stern des Monats 5 Stelle Musica Sept. 2005 24/44.1 -
Thanks - I like to see a bit of space above the peaks, but in this case it was a forlorn hope. Does it sound as bad as it looks?
-
In Audacity, amplify by -0.5dB (or -0.1, or -1, it doesn't really matter), to get rid of the red, then you'll be able to examine the peaks and check the clipping.

Special offer on all studio masters at Qobuz
Kenneth Horne replied to Musicophile's topic in Music Downloads & Streaming
I am very pleased to have these supplementing and probably replacing my off-air recordings of these concerts. If you need a Beethoven SQ cycle this one is well worth considering and sampling while the offer lasts. -

Kenneth Horne replied to Musicophile's topic in Music Downloads & Streaming
I have heard the Schumann, just the FAE, at 24 bit - good performance but I imagine the recording quality won't appeal to audiophiles. The Inghelbrecht Debussy release is available on Testament: Testament Records | SBT1213 / Désiré-Émile Inghelbrecht and I think different from the set released on EMI Toshiba LPs. Those interested in the history of performance of Debussy's music may well find these very rewarding despite the antique sound quality. -
Bernstein - Rhapsody in Blue
Kenneth Horne replied to davidovada's topic in Music Downloads & Streaming
I agree - I have the CD but would buy 24 bit flacs as well! I'm surprised they've not been released.
