Itunes script for hqplayer plus#
I am going to be doing a streaming service comparison video but I'm waiting for spotify hifi to come out and for tidal hifi plus to roll out more widely (to see if it addresses the 'MQA whether you like it or not' issue) so that it can compare everything. If you have any that you do think sound different I'd be happy to check them out though and see if the masters on apple vs tidal or Qobuz are any different.Īpple masters is not a 'better master', at least not if you're listening lossless. And it's incredibly unlikely that the masters will differ between services. Apple has also removed the iTunes COM SDK documentation from its website. While technically this is still possible, significant portions of the API have been removed with iTunes 11. But it has no effect on lossless cause it can handle any signal content. then his music can be delivered to HQ Player and converted to DSD 512 by installing Sound Galleries. Prior to iTunes 11, one could script it on Windows from Python using the win32com.client package. Now this IS a really good thing, and it means that it ensures that if you're using the lossy version you should get a good experience on tracks which have this badge. It was just that masters which met the criteria would get the stamp of approval. I’ve obviously made the mistake of assuming this sort of stuff would be obvious to Computer Audiophiles on Mac. You can place iTunes-HQPlayer Server in this folder to make it accesible from this scripts menu within iTunes if you wish but you can run it from anywhere. It wasn't that these masters were different than elsewhere. Doing so makes a script available in the Scripts menu within iTunes. Super TLDR is that it was designed to ensure that the provided masters were not overly 'hot' and would work nicely with lossy encoders, many of which didn't play nice with stuff like clipping.
