Your Echo is standalone? Not wired to a systemAh, didn't wait long enough. A good 20 secs of silence, then Dot started, but in ultra. Echo in FLAC, but of course the Echo sounds like crap.
No, it stays FLAC.Same with your original Echo?
Alexa Audio Player supports AAC/MP4, MP3, HLS, PLS and M3U audio streams ranging from 16kbps to 384kbps. Other formats such as FLAC/OGG may work, but are not officially recommended.

Ahh...well that's that then.Echo can’t be “wired”, no audio out.
Thanks for the info. At least I could change the bitrate to ultra from the default setting of medium.Here's a post reply from the developer. I only have 2nd Gen dots so I can't test. I don't know about which older/newer devices he refers
Here are the SQ commands
Get the current stream bitrate / quality setting:
"Alexa ask Radio Paradise what's the bitrate"
"Alexa ask Radio Paradise what is the stream quality"
Change the stream bitrate / quality setting:
"Alexa ask Radio Paradise to change bitrate to { low, medium, high, maximum / ultra}"
"Alexa ask Radio Paradise to set stream quality to {low, medium, high, maximum / ultra}"
For FLAC (per link) spell it out or use the term "lossless".
As a side note, I haven’t listened to this service in a long time. Always liked it, but I ended up listening to MOG exclusively, so it got put to the side.
In general, I like both.Most can't stand jazz. I can't stand most rock. But we all get along fine here.
.....he does one thing and does it well; blending 5 decades and numerous genres into one channel.Since there’s an option for bitrate why not an option for genre?
An eclectic blend, for sure......he does one thing and does it well; blending 5 decades and numerous genres into one channel.
Ayeup. I've been using the slideshow via my roku for a few years now. Pretty dang innovative how he has it parse the metadata for song title and then scrape flicker for related hi-res images.The photos that come on during the sounds look great on the larger screen.
Yeah, seeing the art that is chosen is an added benefit to having a big screen attached to the stereo.Ayeup. I've been using the slideshow via my roku for a few years now. Pretty dang innovative how he has it parse the metadata for song title and then scrape flicker for related hi-res images.
I just have an ATV 3...but at least I can Airplay the FLAC feed.
