This is really interesting development! Obviously, I'm very interested in it.
Do you know which is the underlying library used on upmpdcli? Basically, what has held me back from using Librespot is the lack of gapless playback.
For me, that has always been a deal breaker. Does this new implementation allow for gapless playback of, for example, live albums?
Thanks for any info and really looking forward to this.
Best regards,
Rafa.

To use the flac feed with Radio Paradise you need to fetch some some JSON from Radio Paradise pretending you are an Alexa.
This json has the url for the flac file with the metadata for the tracks in the file. The control point needs to queue the flac files but also keep track of the playing times to then update the display as there is no metadata in the file. Its this management that is the tricky bit and whether you support the next track feature or keep the previously played flac blocks and meta data or just consume like upmpdcli does.
I managed to prove the viability with some python butchery saving the meta data to a file, the dev for UPMPDCLI also used python, in a more professional manner, to do this managing of the playlist metadata and fetching of the next flac file (song block), I think he did for the intellectual challenge after he told me it was too much work for one radio station.
(no I did not share my script with him to spare his eyes and sanity)
To display the metadata including the album artwork could be done by modifying the Webpage to use upnpexplorer to get the current playing metadata from UPMPDCLI like is done for other sources. I have previously butchered the web page to use upnpexlorer all the time which kept the now playing page up to date, but would need a bit more thought about how to work out which is normal radio and which is this special stream.

It should be released this month :-)
The Test Team is working with an image that i think is pretty close to release-ready.

Will Spotify renderer send music to these DLNA speakers?
Because I still can not find a solution to do this directly from a Raspberry without going through a Smartphone ...
Except with Squeezlite + UPNP plugin that works very badly.
The day you developed the ability to send music to UPNP / DLNA / Airplay speakers directly from MoodeAudio, you are a champion.
For me today it does not exist reliably.

Hello I am new to moode.
I have a question.
I have moode 4.4 and I have spotif premium account.
Is there anyway that moode HW ( rpi ) becomes spotify client rather then my phone ? Is there anyway control spotify from moode UI ?
Thanks
). The new Radio Paradise web player was available months after the initial timeline.
