@Jud I stand corrected and remember reading on Owsley Stanley years ago and his connection to the GD and have a playlist of the few Bears Sonic Journals available for streaming and even contributed to his Foundation years ago because of what it was attempting to do with forgotten but great rock/folk recordings. i am also sure i read by some Jerry/GD biographers( Dennis McNally was classmate of mine at St Lawrence University class 1969) that not only Stanley but Spector had something to do with amassing that Wall of Sound but i guess I was wrong and your link was great and jarred my memory banks thanks and @firedog I did not mean to start a spitting contest about sematics in regards to 'The Wall of Sound'--I was under the impression from something I read in some DEAD biographers book or article that Spector and GD had some sort of collaberation I was incorrect and I certainly know the difference between the 2 Walls... but I wanted to point out how the DEAD made McIntosh the world renowned amplifier company it is now--its headquarters are 2 hours from my home and alas I never owned one and at my age my CFO would never allow me to buy even their used equipment!

@jabbr and others that wall of sound was Phil Spector’s idea and The Dead used McIntosh equipment and put McIntosh on the world map !! speaking of Spector he also put a gun to Leonard Cohen’s head during a night of drinking and whispered “ I love you Leonard” and Cohen whispered back “ I certainly hope you do, Phil”( after Phil produced the Hallelujah album) How many of you DEAD lovers and haters knew those 2 bits of trivia? I also have an unopened bottle of 50 plus year old Grateful Dead wine think that might be overrated also or about as dead as Jerry? IMHO they aren’t rated high enough

@The Computer Audiophile and anyone else: that MAC desktop player app link for Amazon Unlimited HD/UltraHD Music for anyone gulliable as I was to sign up for AM is: https://www.amazon.com/gp/dmusic/desktop/downloadPlayer it works as DMG just like REAL HiRes services and players ie TIDAL/Qobuz/ROON/Audirvana Studio have for MAC computer-- BUT it is in NO WAY high res only FLAC yet someone on REDDIT after downloading it said and I quote"finally that sweet Ultra HD playing through my headphones" Guess he/she doesn't understand what audiophile sound is! I cancelled my trial subscription easily

@The Computer Audiophile You are correct! I was able to download from an Amazon site the app from an Apple community site — I will post it later IF anyone is interested. It is just like the desktop apps for TIDAL Qobuz ROON Audirvāna but not nearly as sophisticated AND it only plays in FLAC even for the the HIRes stuff I transferred via Soundiz— AND I have to play at much higher volume . So AM is worthless as you put it in nice terms as you usually do. I will stay with my hundreds of self curated playlists and all great new music ideas genres and people/ artists I never heard of in great SQ and separation up to 24/192!-on my current services. BTW/FYI try a Scottish folk group called Steam Jenny who our tour guide introduced us to while in Scotland last week(along with the Covid we brought back) My spouse is a Dinwoodie clan of clan Maxwell— it’s such a good name my son and I never bought a pint 20 years ago when we played St Andrews Carnoustie Kingsbarns and Crail( could have gone the other way) that clan were horse and cattle rustlers among other things! Thanks for looking into AM for me

@The Computer Audiophile i am using the web player. Can't for the life of me find the amazon music unlimited app anywhere except for some 3rd parties. i imagine if there is one from Amazon or Apple appstore it would be like TIDAL and Qobuz apps and will solve my problem correct ie SQ issue because no I only get 16/44 instead 24/88 24/192 etc that i get with say Audirvana. Thanks for asking the questions hope you tell me how to get the mac app bobbmd

This is sort of objective / subjective observations: I recently subscribed to AM and transferred(via Soundiz not the service(s) Amazon suggested)some of my self curated playlists from TIDAL and Qobuz to AM and compared them to TIDAL/Qobuz alone and with Audirvana(but not with ROON). My system is simple: M1 Macmini with 16GB RAM USB to Schiit Yggdrasil 2 DAC with Ragarnock 2 (just the amp) to pair Legacy Audio HD Studio Monitors What I noticed is that AM(I opted for the HD/Ultra HD format) only registers 2X on the Yggy while it registers 4x when playing TIDAL(sometimes) Qobuz (all the time) and Audirvana (ALL the time AND sounds much better). Does anyone one know why? And overall is AM an equal or better substitute for my current formats going forward as i age and need to to save $$ for multiple services? I also find the separation and SQ sound different and not as good especially with Audirvana compared to AM-- but is not a deal breaker but could be. IS AM as good with SQ/separation as the services I use in anyone's opinion? AM limits the number of playlists I made that I can transfer-- if I drop TIDAL Qobuz Audirvana (NOT ROON as i have "lifetime" subscription) will those transferred playlists remain on AM or disappear? Any other links to my questions would also be appreciated. bobbmd

Has anyone ever heard of this totally out of the way restaurant and motel on NYS Rt 11? While at St Lawrence University in Canton NY in 1965-1969 I saw Buddy Rich,Louie Armstrong Count Baise and others performing. at the time because of “in loco parentis” women and men could not stay in a motel in St Lawrence County but Moria NY was not in St Lawrence County so fraternities and sororities would rent buses and go there!! the food was fabulous linen table cloths and rooms named after different countries

@David Craff hello I just got a warning that my Qobuz account password was compromised and was told told to change it. This password was given to me when you became available in USA and I had a French address (Oneida, New France which is what the northeast would have been called if the French had won on the Plains of Abraham) I hardly ever have to use it and I have no way on the Qobuz web page/app page to change it. do you think this is a scam ?

@AudioDoctor tell me about it I am small potatoes and am retiring after 47 years and am out 35000$ in account receivables drop me an email if you want

@The Computer Audiophile Chris thanks this is bad but not as bad as United Healthcare/optum/ changehealth paying 23million to some russian hackers and docs like me haven't been paid a cent since feb plus untold millions of patients had their personal data stolen

hi at approximately 1015 hrs Eastern daylight saving time today cinco de mayo Audirvana just stopped i could not even sign in i could not get to support and community keeps saying service not available same goes for me signing in with my email i even restarted my M1 mac mini anyone know whats going on? bobbmd

Any chance of app like TIDAL has for the above streaming services?
