I have wanted to be able to search by label (Decca, RCA, etc) for some time, but with Rhapsody I was unable to do that (as far as I know).
Yesterday I signed up for the $1 3-month trial of Spotify premium, and I just discovered this IS possible with Spotify. To search for all recordings by say label BIS, I just type "label:BIS" into the search box.
Maybe everyone already knew this but in case there are others like me that didn't I'm posting this.
Listening to Spotify Premium with my newly acquired Denon HEOS Link on the main system and also a Roku 3 / Schitt Bifrost on the living room TV system. Both sound very good although I am just starting to discover what Spotify has to offer.

Useful tool.
Not for TIDAL though. :-(
Got a Sonos and Deezer Elite today to play with. Have you decided to get an upgrade to your Sonos yet?
I can't tell the diff between Spotify 320kbps and Deezer Elite, but being a 'crazy Audiophile' I somewhat like the thought of those bits coming out of the speakers, even though I can't hear them. :-)

Got a new DAC/Headphone Amp on the way that I want to try first as that will be my future configuration.
and that DEEZER is configured for 1411 kbps FLAC.
Thanks! Found the 'Uncompressed'. But, where is the FLAC setting for Deezer?
Cut-Throat
it should stream 16/44.1 with Deezer Elite.
But who knows what's really happening?
Not following you here. Is the setting you are talking about in the Deezer App or the Sonos App ? And how do I get to it? I spent about a half hour looking for this, and all I came up with is in the Deezer Webpage when I am logged in is a setting called 'High Quality' which is Checked.

And yes, it will stream at 16/44.1 now if you subscribe to DEEZER Elite.
The settings are in the 'player' which is part of the application running on the Apple. This has nothing to do with SONNOS, of course.
The DEEZER 'player' program is loaded as software in the SONOS box and you can't adjust it other than to select uncompressed.
That said, if you are logged into your DEEZER account through your SONNOS system and you subscribed to DEEZER Elite, it should stream 16/44.1
But who knows how to tell?
My Dac has lights to indicate the Streaming Bits.
I thought Deezer Elite was only available on Sonos?
Cut-Throat
Deezer Elite has about 35 million songs in it's library. Approx 30 million are FLAC, the remaining are MP3.
On my Sonos app via iPad, I click on the 3 dots (...) when a certain track is playing. That brings up a window, you select "track format" and a screen will pop up to tell you what "that" track is playing in.
Re the "uncompressed" setting: that's an option only for the "line in" on the back of the Connect.
Thanks Man !

Then I got this email earlier this month:
"Deezer for Mac launched a couple of weeks ago, and we wanted to make sure you heard the good news! With your Premium+ subscription, you can download music and listen offline as well as manage your queue list with ease."
"The app lets you access your music without opening your browser!
Download Deezer for Mac now!"
So I downloaded the app to my MacBook Air, opened it and went to 'preferences' and one is:
High Definition (1411 kbps - FLAC)
As soon as I get a DAC that has lights on it and lets be know what I'm listening to, I'll let you know.
Should be this week.
