NEW: Radio JRiver -- Lossless Streaming

(1/26) > >>

JimH:
JRiver has a lossless streaming service called Radio JRiver. 

The emphasis is on high quality audio.  It has two major components:

Cloudplay
Cloudplay lets you build a playlist of lossless files (FLAC, APE, ALAC, etc.) and (right click) Upload to Cloud (JRiver's server at Amazon).  You will receive an e-mail with links.

Radio JRiver
Under Streaming and on the Cloudplay page, you'll find Radio JRiver buttons. 

Radio JRiver Stations
Classical
Jazz
Eclectic
Rock
Try Me (a wide assortment)

Clicking on any one of these downloads an MPL Playlist, which JRiver can play.  There is a new aspect to this that we call Super MPL or Super Playlists.   A Super Playlist contains more than one MPL, and it can be set to shuffle the playlists within it, but not the files in each playlist.

Still Growing
We expect to add more content, more stations, and to improve the quality of programming in each one.

At this time, most of the programming is done by Ted Ringer.  He worked at JRiver many years ago, and he has a massive collection of music and a passion for building playlists.  I hope you'll welcome him to the forum.

We are licensing the rights for these files.  We appreciate any support you can give.  There is a Listener Supported link at the bottom of the Radio JRiver page to a donation page.  You can donate at any level.

Panel
You'll also find Radio JRiver stations under Panel.  They can be played in Panel or to other JRiver zones.

Panel settings allow you to control the conversion of the stream, so you can use less bandwidth or get full quality.  Click on the settings icon to find these options.

Panel Instructions

More
All files that are uploaded have been processed by JRiver's Audio Analysis.  This means that you can use JRiver's Volume Leveling to play tracks at a more even volume.  This is set in MC > Player > DSP Studio > Volume Leveling.

I'm loving listening to some of these playlists. Might cost me a fortune in CD purchases as a result though!

Streaming jriver radio to  a renderer fails on my machine bob explained this as being the result of the jazz stream being .ape files

--- Quote from: bob on June 28, 2018, 12:12:34 pm ---So we tested that here and it works playing to an Id (because it can play anything).

For other renderers, you will need to have something that supports whatever lossless file types the radio is sending.

Most of the streams now are .ape. Probably only MC and Volumio would be able to play those.

I tried jriver radio's classical section and these behaved exactly like the ape files in the jazz section ........but these are flac files, so they should have played correctly. Also I can stream flac files to my tv as an mp3 stream via an associated dlna server from radio paradise, but this doesn't happen with the jriver radio stream. Doesn't matter much to me but some users might be put off.
