What products you'd like to see WiiM produce?

It could be the same people use for CD ripping. To my experience it's usually ok.
That's exactly the problem I'm on about. I'm currently ripping a batch of CDs, and am having to do a lot of editing, and in many cases, completely typing in the track and artist information, as the automatic meta data search is failing miserably.

In addition to this, I am also having to manually source album artwork, in some cases I have to take a photo of the CD booklet, because I am unable to find a suitable image online.
 
I've ripped a good number of CDs in my time and I'd say I've had reasonable accuracy with most CDs' automatic meta data pulls from the web. Probably 93-97% accurate.

I would think that I'm getting about 25% accuracy from automatic meta data information from the internet.
 
I think so, why. It's not about that product. Only about the algorithm used to get CD Meta Data. I think they call it PerfectMeta.
I would be interested to know where it tries to obtain the CD meta data from.
 
Using it on MACs since I am ripping CDs. In my experience the best solution you can get. There is a free version but even the full version is below 40 €. A no-brainer. Heard a lot of people say the free version is good enough.


Thats what ChatGPT tells:
dBpoweramp typically uses a combination of these databases:
  • All Media Guide – high-quality commercial metadata
  • MusicBrainz – open-source, community-maintained
  • GD3 – premium provider, especially strong for classical music
  • Discogs – great for specific releases, vinyl, rare editions
  • freedb – older system (now largely replaced, but historically used)
🧠 How it works:
  1. dBpoweramp reads the CD’s Disc ID (based on track lengths and layout).
  2. It queries multiple databases simultaneously.
  3. The results are merged using a system called “PerfectMeta.”
  4. You get a combined, often more accurate metadata set to choose from.
 
When I rip CDs, I do it on a Mac, and I use dBpoweramp CD Ripper. When multiple entries show up for the same CD in the database, it presents them all for you to pick from.

I think I have tried it on a PC, and it wasn't really any better than how I am doing it now.

Any insights / plans for Wiim Ultra v2?
I hope WiiM have learned a lesson from the Ultra and don't pre-announce new hardware long in advance of its actual release. I recall the Ultra discussions getting well out of hand at times with threads having to be closed simply because some speculative details were released too far in advance and forum members' impatience often boiled over. Let's just wait patiently and when designs are firmed up and pre-production models have been released to beta testers under NDAs, and it's getting close to actual release, then we can catch sight of what's actually coming soon.
 
No insights or plans I can let you in on today! But when we have news about new products, I'll be posting it widely!
The fact that this response came in direct reply to the request for Wi-Fi headphones gives me hope that you have plans to develop and launch them. It would also fit well into your product range. A manufacturer that has made a name for itself with superb network streamers, including excellent software, will naturally offer high-quality Wi-Fi headphones! 😉
 
I think it's more likely a general reply that there's nothing able to be shared yet about whatever product may come next.

It definitely wasn't because I didn't feel like going back a page to the comment where someone had tagged me and asked for more details and so I just posted it as a general response instead of a reply.
