What is MnimStreamer????

[simbun]

In terms of usage I'd say it falls into 2 categories.

I want to say the second is for the more audiophile crowd (more nuanced usage), but I'll just call them:

Basic

• Playing radio stations
  RadioStations.m3u
  
  Code:
  

  #EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,[R1;aac,48000] BBC Radio 1

#EXTINF:-1,[R1X;aac,48000] BBC Radio 1Xtra

• Transcoding (maybe your music is stored in a format that isn't supported by one of your renderers)
  stream.transcode: flac:L16
• Normalising loudness (When shuffling music from different eras/genres the volume can vary significantly, you do however need ReplayGain tags in your music to support this)
  stream.options: convOut=-af volume=replaygain=track
  

Advanced

• DSP filters (room correction e.t.c.)
• Upsampling (some renderers show less distortion if being fed by a format that requires less processing)
