I had been waiting for this for years … right... but what about Apple Music ? I see a complaint almost every few weeks on their forum about not having apple music, a bit like the C4 complaints. We cant use Pandora here (And I don't see any reason to permanently have a VPN to USA going just so I can use it) and I have never even heard of Presto.

BlueOS, like almost everyone else including C4, does Apple music via an Airplay connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people could careless about Pandora well I like Pandora because I am lazy and its been running for a decade in my house. That said, it comes free already with C4, so unless BlueOS is sending the band live to my house to perform, I'll take the free C4 integration (that has been around for years already) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure what you see but Pandora always being free and always compatible, it’s been a staple in most smart homes for a long time and widely used by most people I know in general..because again its free. Either way you are giving an opinion, Pandora is one of the most popular services in the US by statistics. Amr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again there is no need to use VPN to get Pandora working, anyways, I had been using Pandora for years till new competitors arrived, most of the time I play Dezzer Flow, my local playlists, some Tidal as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free, premium or whatever...and it's only available in the US (officially). So few people will care about Pandora on the grand scale of things. Not that I have an issue with BlueSound adding it, why would I - but guess what, not in the US so...don't care either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its actually a security risk (effectively a MITM attack). I've actually got a lot of other services anyway to use tbh. So these days, I don't bother with the effort of VPN's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By using a Smart DNS, you ASSUME they a legit and not doing illegal redirects. Amr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
