Thank you! Always appreciate your insights.

Thanks mate for the thoughtful reply.

I use Roon with WIIM Ultra. WiiM is connected to powered speakers via 3.5 cables. If I try to add my Kitchen Devialet to a zone via WI-Fi to the stream it results in sync issues in playback. (Almost sounds echoey) Any way to reduce this or should I head over the the WiiM site? My thanks as always.

Now do Apple or is that simply a stream too far? Cheers

It’s a mantra from my career in enterprise IT. And one we depended on many times from the (bad old) days when 45% of backup could not be recovered

I find volume levelling in some products impacts quality of sound. (Yes Roon I am looking at you.) Does Wiim's gain levelling work well? (Yes I can just try I but what fun is that?)

I have a Western Digital MyCloud home where I store files for WIIM and Plex. I keep it synced with my Mac files. Works fine. (My Mac is a laptop that might be turned on once every 2 weeks)

Nothing was saved but thanks for your thoughts. I follow the 3-2-1 backup rule is a data protection strategy (three copies of your data, on two different storage media, with one copy stored offsite) I did not lose a byte.

sure can - trying to move to WiiM for one stop apping but methinks we're stumped. Not a big deal

While I liked Amazon’s price and content - the app was a showstopper for me.

We share a Qobuz Duo account. (Therefore would be restricted to locally created playlist within the WiiM app,) Since you cannot have multiple Qobuz accounts attached to a WiiM I think the easier approach will be to use naming conventions. _Playlist for and X_Playlist for me. Not very elegant but...

I’d be fine if we could get separate Artists & Playlists. I want my (did I mention lovely) wife to look at her list (Taylor - Keys - Adele) and think 😍 rather then seeing Grateful Dead Phish Billy Strings and thinking 😖.

Being able to choose between multiple user profiles with personal presets - recently played - playlists would be boss. 😎 My (lovely) wife can preset to her faves and I to mine for example.

I back everything up offsite to cloud. As whose house burnt down once.

I use a LaCie Mobile Drive 5TB External Hard Drive Portable HDD ($225CAD / 122 GDP) - works great - no idea how hot it gets as it sits on my delay and behaves itself.
