airable radio streaming integrator

[adias]

airable https://www.airablenow.com/company/reference-clients/ is a great radio streaming integrator. I access it under other systems and think it offers higher quality streams than TuneIn.

I suggest @WiiM Team and @RyanWithWiiM to consider integrating this service into the WiiM system.

Agree, I have it on my Linn MDSM/4 - I think they started using it when Tunein went belly up in the UK with respect to non-UK stations.

How does one register or play music? I was trying but didn't manage...

I think it has to be embedded in another product or app - I don't think it exists as a standalone entity

Correct!

Lyngdorf swapped out meager vTuner in favour or airable and that's not been a small improvement.

Forgot to mention it, but I upvoted this request, of course.

Hmmm… back a couple years ago, when I was messing around with the WiiM XML interface, I seem to remember Airable as the API that WiiM IS using, at least for Tidal, possibly others. Of course, that may have changed since I was last poking around…

Yeah, and what happened to "WiiM Radio"?

Can you kindly refresh my memory on that? Thanks!
If WiiM Radio was a radio aggregator by all means do that with airable.

Not a lot of info, just questions about it having appeared in a previous version of the Ultra roadmap viz.

Thanks! I missed last year's post with the same airable suggestion.

Went back and looked at my old code. It's actually Deezer that WiiM was (is?) using the airable API for. WiiM uses Tidal's and Qobuz's native APIs. So, they do indeed have experience with airable's API, and I would guess have some airable libs installed on their devices.

I haven't tried my Deezer code in a very long time, no idea whether WiiM is still using the airable API for it.

However, It's a pretty safe bet that airable charges for each connection type, which may keep WiiM from using it with providers other than Deezer.

That makes a statement they made in the Deezer thread a bit more clear when they said they'd have to liaise with their "api provider"...

<-A reaction in a flask!

I'll make sure Airable is on the music service request list but no promises that it'll get added. It was mentioned twice in responses to the music services survey we put out.
