Now with Windows support - at last!
As otherwise this is basically the same as 1.99.x with improved Windows support, I'll re-post the announcement :-).
Except for how to enable the feature. Read all of this announcement to get things working!

- Control Spotify playback on your Squeezebox using Spotify's applications (desktop, mobile)
- Get access to (some of - see below) the Spotify content which is not available through their API yet, thus can't be accessed through the plugin
- Transfer Spotify playback from your office Squeezebox to your phone to your car to your phone to your home Squeezebox
It's a bit of a hack, but it seems to be working reasonably well. So here's the list of open issues and limitations I'm aware of:
Spotify Download Radio 2018 Line Up
- For whatever reason Spotify would not allow me to play Podcasts to Spotty
- Squeezebox would show the next track's metadata 5-10s before it actually starts playing (whil the previous track was still active)
- Spotify's limitations apply: if you play music to your Squeezebox using Connect, you cannot listen to Spotify on your phone or any other Spotify Connect endpoint.
- Doesn't work with password protection on LMS.
If you want to give Spotty Connect a try, go to the LMS web UI, Settings/Player/Spotty, and enable the feature for the device(s) you want. Please note that every activated player will launch a daemon in the background. Be careful if you run LMS on a NAS with 256MB or even less...
Spotify 2018 Annual Report
PS: NAS devices known to be compatible or not with Spotty at this point:
- Synology: check out your model in the CPU architecture overview. If it's in the Intel x86-*, or armv7 section, then you're fine. Make sure you're running the latest DSM and LMSRepack or LMSUpdate. Otherwise I'm sorry.
- ReadyNAS: The old Sparc based devices (Duo, NV), as well as their ARMv5 based successors (Duo v2, NV v2) will not work. On newer models you might need to manually install IO::Socket::SSL.
- QNAP: similarly to Synology there are many different models. Unfortunately I haven't found a good overview. If you're on Intel, then you should be fine. ARM - depends on what exact model. You, too, might need to install IO::Socket::SSL
Q: Can I download music from Spotify to a USB flash drive for free? - I would like to play Spotify from in-car USB while long-distance driving. To my disappointment, there is no such built-in feature in the Spotify app. I want to know there is any solution to transfer music from Spotify to USB?
Spotify allows free users to listen to Spotify songs, playlists, or albums on devices with network connection only. Obviously, it's no official way to download Spotify to USB for free. What's more, even if you can download Spotify music with a Spotify Premium subscription, you are unable to copy Spotify playlists to USB. Because Spotify songs are protected Ogg Vorbis files.
But don't worry, every problem comes with a possible answer. You can draw support from a free Spotify to USB converter, which can help you download music to USB for cars. Read this article to get the best tool and see how to use it to get Spotify to work in a car with the only USB.
