Thanks for your insights. Glad to see you back
I have *really* liked BubbleUPnP on my Android devices although the newest update brings a reworked interface which took a little poking around to understand. Haven't tried BubbleDS.
As for Linn Kazoo, it looks like one of the few viable choices for my new iPad but I haven't played with it yet. At first blush, it does seem obtuse.
Upplay on my Linux laptop presents an ugly interface and AFAICT sees the upmpdcli services the same way BubbleUPnP does.
Yes, the RP FLAC API is complicated. After I traced it through and described it to Tim he remarked it looks like a music service API, e.g., akin to a TIDAL or Qobuz. One could of course cheat and put a wrapper around the interface such that it appears like a simple streaming radio station ala the RP AAC stream. An exercise for another day
Regards,
Kent
