I think it's the model of choice for around half of the users while it doesn't work at all for the other half. My main point is: The Squeezebox shouldn't be the product of choice for such a setup, you can go with much simpler speakers then, no need for a server, an own library, lossless support and things like that. bernt wrote: > https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Publish-the-Spotify-Connect-Wireless-speaker-API/idi-p/520890 > > We ended the presentation with finally announcing that were opening up > the Spotify Connect API to more vendors and developers very soon, > creating endless possibilities to control and sync music context across > apps and audio hardware. > > https://developer.spotify.com/news-stories/2014/03/21/developer-brunch-sxsw-recap/ Oh, all that means is that they dumped they original, hardware based "Spotify Connect" and replaced it with a software-based solution that can theoretically be integrated into a lot more devices. It does not mean they provided an open API or give it to anyone, they are still being very restrictive on this. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 8, the Universal App for iOS 7 and iOS 8* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104030
