Presto Music has a new streaming service. Any way for this to be among the supported services by Wiim?

No updates as of now, but it's in our queue of integrations we plan to implement. We'll update you when there's progress.
From this message board:
May 8, 2023: Presto Music has a new streaming service. Any way for this to be among the supported services by Wiim?
July 24, 2024: This has been asked for more than a year: When is WiiM adding Presto Music to the app?
WiiM Team Response November 1, 2024: Hi, we're in touch with them. No timeline yet, but we hope to get them integrated into the WiiM OS platform.
WiiM Team Response January 15, 2025: Hi, Presto on our list of integrations. We have some other integrations in the queue at the moment and we hope to get Presto integrated this year. (My take away: Not priority and hoping for this year with no commitment.)
WiiM Team Response May 2, 2025: No updates as of now, but it's in our queue of integrations we plan to implement. We'll update you when there's progress.
After just the past 2 years, the speed of the WiiM commitment to integrate Presto is "breathtaking". Again, I am glad I did not wait.

And as I mentioned before, Presto told me on July 25, 2024, in an email: "We are currently working towards integrations [with the WiiM app] that we hope will be available in autumn." I don't know what's causing the very long delay.

We really need to be realistic here. The vast majority of WiiM owners are happy with Spotify, Apple and Amazon, with Tidal and Qobuz at maybe 2% or less. Presto+WiiM users? A fraction of a percent, surely. WiiM has other, much higher, priorities. It will be done when it's done. Not a day sooner.
Qobuz has been mostly good enough for me, but I suspect I might like Presto better. As mentioned previously, Presto's streaming box has an optical output and is reasonably priced. I'd rather it had an ethernet connection, but my wifi is probably up to the job. Or you could buy a USB to optical converter and use one of their desktop apps, or just stream through a browser. I wonder if the Windows app works under Wine?
And it involves two companies perhaps with competing roadmaps and limited resources…

Hmm, Tidal and Qobuz came out top in a recent forum poll.
I’ve been testing and using free trials for a few of the big streaming services out there.
And I couldn’t help thinking, what does the WiiM community use and prefer.
We all love some lossless, and high fidelity sound, while others enjoy the ease of use and navigation to their favourite songs.
What say you, what’s your pick

That doesn't necessarily translate to WiiM users or any others who listen via a "proper Hifi". Still surprising though.Spotify, Apple, & Amazon Top 90% U.S. Streaming Market Share

Well, if you throw in India and China, probably two services we’ve barely heard of at the top of the list.
