Regarding Replay Gain: it would be great to have that for Spotify too!
Including taking care of the hidden songs in the playlists in Spotify, so they don‘t play via WiiM.

I wouldn’t mind seeing source input immediately under my device when the app opens. Or give me the option to customize this.

See here:

In the future, we will extend Replay Gain support to Qobuz, Spotify, NAS, and more, as well as to playback files with embedded Replay Gain tags.

Hi BK308,

This bug should not show the source input in the device tab; we will fix it in the next app update.

This isn’t a bug. I edited the photo in my post because I would like to see this as a future feature.

Sadly the chromecast bug is not fixed, which was introduced with app version 3.0

Streaming over Emby and other apps to Wiim Chromecast does not show any played media. Will this be fixed in the next update? My music continously stops because of that

Hi BK308,

I apologize for misunderstanding your thoughts. I’ll share this idea with our team and explore how we can implement it. Please stay tuned!

It will not make any sense if you have more than one device.

Maybe better to redesign the Browse tab to have the input selection in the top instead of having to scroll down to the end (on phones).

I initially thought that too, but the input selection could appear as another highlighted block under your selected device, shuffling the ones below it down.

 

[hgo58]

Yes, there is many ways to design this.
I find it ok to be in the Browse tab. No need to be in "all" places.

I think it is about time that there was a proper app for landscape mode on tablets, rather than the current slightly modified phone app that is used.

Rather than having the single vertical column of device tiles, there should be plenty of room to fit three vertical columns across the width of the landscape display.

The groups page on the persistent group beta does that, so I agree , the devices page should as well.

Hi Team,

We’re currently redesigning the Browse tab and wanted to share some of our ideas. Looking forward to your thoughts. Cheers!

Guess you should go the whole hog and allow individual music services to be re-arranged and selected on the main page rather than on a separate page, and perhaps consider a consistent approach with My Library and allow its tiles to be arranged vertically and re-ordered like the entries under the other sections.

I’m aware that the ability to customise the Browse screen has been asked for on several occasions, so for those who requested it this will be a welcome revision.

 

[QuarryHunslet]

The Favorites (not my spelling) tab would also greatly benefit from being able to customise it, and move things around, and choose which items to show, because many of the current items shown have no interest to me, and don’t reflect my actual usage of the streaming services concerned. Many of them don’t even feature in the tab, yet they are used from within the WiiM Home app.

Hi QuarryHunslet,

Thank you for your feedback! Could you please provide more details about your request? This will help me communicate it more effectively with our team.
"1. many of the current items shown have no interest to me, and don’t reflect my actual usage of the streaming services concerned.

The Favorites (not my spelling) ...

Perfectly correct American English, btw.

I know, but I’m not American, so it goes against the grain to spell it like that.
