John - thanks for the tip, but I haven't been able to find anything that makes sense to me...
One would think since the RPI is one of the most popular hardware devices for this kind of music server thing that SOMEone would have solved the problem, but if they have, it's not hard to find... I have Mopidy on the same hardware, it works fine with Spotify but the interface is challenging for the family - the Clementine interface (particularly the mobile app) is much better so I'd love to have it all in one place. I guess I can keep Mopidy running and try to educate the family that we use one app for "everything local" and another for "everything Spotify" (and then deal with the differences in UI behavior...) but that's probably not going to be popular... Just getting them to understand the difference between our local music store and streaming is not easy.... I guess I'll just keep doing a search every once in a while to see if someone solves this one... Thanks again!
