12:00pm Subscribed to a Free 30-day Trial
12:05pm Downloaded and installed the Deezer Desktop App for Windows
12:30pm Became convinced the app does not allow direct hardware access (ASIO/WASAPI) for bit-perfect playback and it doesn't run well on older hardware (vintage Thinkpad T43 laptop that however has no issues running Spotify and JRiver on W7)
12:35pm Got excited that Deezer now supports lossless on Chromecast Audio (https://www.engadget.com/2017/08/30/deezer-hifi-music-streaming-chromecast-built-in-speakers/)
12:40pm Got irritated that Deezer does not support lossless on Chromecast Audio (https://en.deezercommunity.com/troubleshooting-and-tips-4/deezer-hifi-on-chromecast-audio-324)
12:45pm Uninstalled the Desktop App and cancelled my trial subscription
12:50pm Listening to Spotify
