thought this may be of interest to some http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/sep/03/spotify-connect-rivals-apple-airplay
AirPlay will work at Apple Lossless quality, Spotify somewhat lower quality?
I've found the notionally gapless playback to be patchy- I'm not sure whether this is an issue with the source files - I seem to remember spotify said so.Let's review those factors affecting quality of Spotify's 320 feed in full.
1. Mastering quality of source file used.
2. See point 1.
agreed that 320K may not be lossless but as a database and as an addition to any lossless streaming we may have via NAS or whatever, it seems a worthwhile proposition...though ofcourse I do this already through Mac mini it can be cumbersome without the elegant remote that iTunes thoughtfully provide
