Same. I tried Spotify recently but the compression is awful - I prefer FM to Spotify's awful compression. What.cd had most content in V0 as well as lossless.

What do you mean with "compression". You can set it to use high quality streaming where it's 320kbit ogg or something.
I meant the quality of the sound based on the audio format.

Thanks for pointing this out! I had it set on Automatic and it sounded consistently like 128kbit CBR MP3 or worse (maybe they were sending down their 96kbit Normal stream - yuck). I switched it to Extreme now, hopefully that solves my issue.
