Spotify Connect loudness normalization

[zgromadzenie]

It would be great if for Spotify Connect Wiim would use the "loudness" value (available in the Tracks' Audio Features API) to normalize the perceived loudness (ReplayGain).

This will help eliminate volume/loudness differences in custom playlists.

WiiM doesn’t have a native Spotify interface, it uses Spotify Connect. Is that API applicable to Connect?

According to the changelog in Version 3.199.303 Spotify added support for loudness normalization in eSDK, so loudness information should be also available in Spotify Connect.

I am wondering why not more users would like to have that…

Probably because Spotify explicitly say “You can’t change audio settings when using Spotify Connect to play on another device.” on their Audio Normalisation webpage viz. https://support.spotify.com/us/article/audio-normalization/

Basically, it’s a Spotify server delivered feature as it needs to know the relative volume of each track, so there’s not much WiiM can do about it

On mobile devices the upvote and downvote icons are right below the request, not to the right.

In neither position people seem to notice or care for them, unfortunately.

For me this is a nice to have feature, but as I don't see it available on any device (because Spotify doesn't support it) I'm not even wasting my time to hit either button. Instead, I'm wasting my time explaining why I don't want to waste my time.

Not sure what makes more sense…

Not sure how LMS does it, but it works there!
Unfortunately „there“ songs I do not like and marked as such are still played. Everywhere is something…
