Music Source: DI.FM, classicalradio.com, radiotunes.com, rockradio.com

It would be nice to have DI.FM and its sister sites as official sources on the Wiim app. I'm a developer, can I help implement these?

Not aware that WiiM have an SDK or 3rd party API that would facilitate that. As mentioned elsewhere, adding the station URLs under Open Network Stream, or using airplay or chromecast to the WiiM are current other options you might be able to use.

Yep that workaround works for me. It just _could_ be more polished if it were built in.

Given the imminent release of Squeezelite compatibility for the Pro and Pro Plus, the use of LMS to deliver those services to the WiiM might bear looking in to. I already use LMS (running on a Pi 4) to get a better interface (and overall experience) to deliver Radio Paradise and BBC Sounds to my WiiM devices. This thread on the Slimdevices forum is perhaps worth a read

+1 on the request.
As for going through LMS, today that doesn't seem like the best option, since mysqueezebox.com has left the building, and with it, DI.fm LMS app. As of now, one can certainly add a pls playlist with the desired station(s). I've already built some code to generate their URLs.
But a native implementation that directly browses DI.fm (and sister sites rockradio.com et al) and lets you navigate using Wiim app across categories and FAVs would be awesome. Including DI.fm's SHOWs would be even better.

I thought there was a new DI.fm plugin for LMS.

OMG! You are right! I assumed that this was the old one. Since it's still authored by Logitech... But I just installed it, and it works without relying on mysqueezebox.com
