Google Play Music streaming to squeezebox or any other streaming Solution

[Zubkabera]

I recently subscribed to Google Play Music and couldn't find app to stream music to my AVIs via Squeezebox Touch, I know SQB touch is not supported anymore but is there any other good alternative streamer or solution available.

Thanks.

I think you would be better off asking on the AVI forums, plenty of people over there stream spotify etc, many seem to use ATV or Apple Express or Sonos.

I think you'd be told to get iTunes Match.

But to answer the actual question, what are you trying to stream from? If it's an iOS device, then an Apple TV or Airport Express is the right answer, whereas from Android it kind of depends on the device (not very much) and how much you want to spend - eg I stream from Nexus to Bluetooth dongle in my StreamMagic or Xi, which works very well, but both of those are expensive devices and do lots of other things that you don't need.

I have not tried this - I have an SBT but not Google Play Music.

Hi

If you have Google Play you must have ripped the music to something I assume to send them to Google. Why can't you point the Squeezebox to the original files instead of pulling compressed (and presumably lower quality) files from Google Play?

EDIT - Just realised from your 'subscription' comment that you're probably using All-Access Google Play in which case you won't have ripped any tracks.
