youtube music streaming
Answered
Dear,
I enjoy the youtube music streaming service a lot because of their great recommendation algorithms. It makes me really enjoy my setup.
Currenlty I'm streaming via bluetooth. From a quality perspective, I'd prefer to cut out the bluetooth from the streaming chain and stream yt music directy via my node.
Can you please add youtube music to the 'Music Services' section ?
thx in advance,
-Joost

I've just joined YTmusic and have got to say I'm loving the algorithm of it. I discovering more new music than ever before. Please please could we see it integrated with Bluos? I would love to stream direct to my Node. My work around at the moment is to stream it via a firestick which I connect to the node via a optical cable. But to integrate it into Bluos would be perfect. I'm sure it can't be that hard to do?

Hi Johan
Thanks for your feedback - unfortunately Google Chromecast is not necessarily the panacea some hope it would be. Please see this post regarding GC4A from our BluOS Product Development Brand Manager, Andrew H. for details; https://support1.bluesound.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360034972134/comments/4410382038039
Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Very disappointed... Even VOLUMIO is able to provide YouTube music integration via Plugin!

Hi Todd,
As you can read in my post from three months ago, it is possible to listen to YTM with a little help from third-party software/apps. These programs make it possible to also listen to your own collection using your favourite music player and thus bypass the Bluos application. However, it's a (damn) shame that the Bluesound software doesn't support this itself. (So far I have had no response from there…)

Can you at least keep us updated? If you are having problems with developers, just say it, we will figure out something.

Hi Aidas- my link speaks specifically about Chromecast and why we cannot implement it as it is and how YouTube, also being a subsidiary of Google’s parent company is saying implementing would be through Chromecast.

I'm currently in the process of purchasing my first Class D all-in-one amp, and I have my eyes on the NAD M33, M10 V2, and C399. Thus, i am doing a lot of research which bring me to here.
One concern I have is that BluOS doesn't support YTM, which happens to be my primary music streaming provider. This has left me feeling somewhat hesitant.
I was wondering if any of you could suggest alternative options that have HDMI eARC capability? It would be great to explore other possibilities before making my final decision.
Thank you in advance. I greatly appreciate your help.

Also, the WiimProPlus for my system is a better DAC. I felt I was missing out on high frequency clarity with the Node, but it all came back with the Wiim.

It is not quite approved by Roon yet, but should be very soon. Looks like the hold up at the moment is certification from Roon themselves. Other WiiM devices support Roon, so I expect it to get an update soon.

Hi Aida’s

Apple AirPlay or Bluetooth both work fine. Please see www.Bluesound.com/Bluetooth for step by step instructions to stream direct from your phone or tablet.

Hello Andrew, Carlos, Tkunin, James, Joe, Jerry, Carlo, Johan N, Lasse, Basilisgg, Todd, Kristoffer, Joan, Aidas, Renato, Stan, Ruud, Keralots, Ash, Jiri, Brandon, John, Andreas, Adam, Gregory, Mikmouk, Dennis, Borschi, Henrik, Lieven (from Belgium zoals ik), Lasse, Bruno, Maarten, Arif, Arthur, Kurt (special thanks), Jonathan, Prasenjit, Sasha, Joel, Tony too, and the ones I forget to mention here…
YOU DO NOT NEED THE BLUOS APP TO PLAY ANYTHING THROUGH YOUR BLUESOUND PLAYERS. YOU DO NOT NEED THE BLUOS APP TO PLAY ANYTHING THROUGH YOUR BLUESOUND PLAYERS. YOU DO NOT NEED THE BLUOS APP TO PLAY ANYTHING THROUGH YOUR BLUESOUND PLAYERS.
You don't need Roon either. You don't need Bluetooth. “Anything” means any sound coming from your PC, laptop or smartphone, such as your own music collection (played via your favorite music player), and yes, everything else, like the unsurpassed “YouTube Music”. I have already posted about this twice, but it doesn't seem like anyone is reading my post, except for Kurt. Thanks Kurt.
For the last time: “AIRPLAY” IS THE SOLUTION. Use any application that supports “Airplay” and you can listen to anything you want. Without any loss of sound quality. I don't understand how people on this blog say things like “Airplay is not an option for me”. There are plenty of applications, both for Windows and Android, that support Airplay. I use "Tuneblade" on my Windows PC and "Airmusic" on my Android smartphone, but feel free to use something else. I installed these programs and once I was assured that they did the job as desired, I removed Bluos. I wouldn't even think about it anymore if it weren’t for these ever-recurring complaints.
So get rid of that Bluos cr... (Sorry Tony). As long as the Bluesound hardware doesn't start to malfunction (twice in 2 years for me), you shouldn't have to buy another sound system...
I humbly accept every word of thanks for this good advice.

You can still use the YouTube App and AirPlay to your Bluesound Player. Android, Kindle Fire or Windows users, you can also pair your player using Bluetooth and listen to the content from the streaming service's app or website using up to AptX-HD quality Bluetooth Audio.
Please see bluesound.com/bluetooth for more details.
