Tidal and Deezer are others which require flash. Both have desktop apps, however.. Tidal's desktop app is awful and laggy to the extent I prefer using the web interface; Deezer's Windows app lacks some features compared to the web player.
- cpeterso 11y agoThese music streaming sites use Flash because they want DRM.
- zvrba 11y agoIs there alternative to Flash which also gives you DRM?
- cpeterso 11y agoFor browsers that support EME, they can use the "Clear Key" key system that is part of the EME standard. It's not as secure as other DRM (because the decryption key is briefly exposed on the client), but it does not require any third-party license server like Google Widevine, Microsoft PlayReady, or Adobe Primetime. For a streaming music service, it is probably an adequate deterrent for ripping streams. http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/eme/basics/#clear-key http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/eme/basics/#clear-key
