Support for more codecs (including FLAC) for Internet Radio streams would be lovely [FLAC delivered in Roon 1.5]

[brian (Brian Luczkiewicz)]

Yeah, I think OGG/FLAC is the most mainstream way. For that one, it’s just a matter of scheduling the effort.

I guess an HLS-like thing pushed by a standards consortium instead of mostly a single vendor could be a long-term win, if there turns out to be wide adoption. But how that will play out still remains to be seen.

While Apple seems to have created HLS, it’s being managed by the IETF’s RFC process, which also manages the standards for all of the most important network protocols on earth–HTTP, TCP, SSL, etc. I don’t consider it to be weak in the standardization process.

Roon 1.5 contains support for FLAC Internet Radio. I’ve set out some stations that work for me in this thread.

I’ve set this thread to close in 24 hours. If there are other codecs that you would request be included in Internet Radio, please open a new thread.
