Qobuz improvements
- Thread starter Pcryan5
- Start date
I think it is a an API issue or rather the way that WiiM have used the API.
(1) The top image (WiiM) looks vey like the Qobuz web browser version when you select to view by "Popularity" (although when I look it is now very slightly different but only slightly)
(2) The bottom pic (Qobuz) is the view by "Release Date" which is sorted by newest first.
In the LMS Qobuz plugin if you search for Sheryl Crow and navigate to the Discography you get (2) but in reverse chronological order. That tells me that the API offers at least 3 sorting options.
For the windows app?

Thanks for the note!
I do not see a sort option anywhere?

Very weird - I don’t get that menu. The final screen is just a list of all her worIs.

Ah - but that does not solve my problem - which is the WIIM app does not have a sort option. Playing via the Qobuz app/web restricts me to airplay doesn’t it?

To a Mini, yes, but you can ChromeCast up to 24/96 to a Pro.Ah - but that does not solve my problem - which is the WIIM app does not have a sort option. Playing via the Qobuz app/web restricts me to airplay doesn’t it?
The API
Charles Mingus
Jennifer Ann
Junius Paul
Kenny Dorham
I don't think any streaming service recognises "First" or "Last" only the "First Last" string.
The API does support that except that alphabetical is by first name e.g.
Charles Mingus
Jennifer Ann
Junius Paul
Kenny Dorham

Or you can use BubbleUpnP on Android or MConnect on IOS.Ah - but that does not solve my problem - which is the WIIM app does not have a sort option. Playing via the Qobuz app/web restricts me to airplay doesn’t it?

I asked for this some time ago and WIIM agreed it was a good idea that they would try to implement. …
Words, words, words no more than words
@Pcryan5 I started asking for more options for ordering Albums in 2022 when the Community didn't exist yet. I used to do it with emails to support. All the time they replied "Great idea, we will do it in the next version of WHA".
We are in the middle of 2023 and what happened? Absolutely nothing!!
That's all. Yet even the most basic of Apps gives the possibility to sort Albums according to different criteria. Except WHA.
At present the WiiM App is only useful for setting the devices or changing devices settings.
Nothing more. It's been months and months since I stopped using it.
Too bad, because a single App to manage multiple services would have been useful.
There are also other serious shortcomings that I have pointed out several times.
When I open an Album :
The number of tracks on the album and the total duration of the Album are missing near the cover.
The length of the track is missing next to each track
Just to mention another serious shortcoming.
So, are you still hoping that anything will change?
In Italy we have a saying about situations like this. I won't mention it because it's vulgar.

I just use ROON. I know that‘s considered controversial
but gee it makes life so much easier.Not on Roon.......still. May be one time or another
Now i'm using Bubble UPnP with great satisfaction. Or MConnect on IOS. The latter App is less complete than Bubble, but it works and has all the basics.
A curiosity, with Roon can you also listen to Amazon Music Unlimited?
I presume not.

I'm trying to think of a situation where Italians don't have a saying...
