Hello all
Discouraged by a lack of computer literacy but prompted by the demise
of Napster/ Squeezebox I finally took the plunge – purchased a Spotify
premium account and installed plugin v1.1.1. I just want to add my
thanks to you Triode for providing squeezebox customers with an
alternative. 
The installation went smoothly but I experienced problems getting the
helper app to run which I somehow managed to resolve by referring to
this thread.
However I’m experiencing continuous stuttering and rebuffering from
Spotify. I thought this was probably due to holiday traffic and that
the situation would improve – but alas it has not. 
I don’t have similar problems with other  sites such as LastFM, radio
Paradise or even Napster (when and if it on the rare occasion works) so
I don’t think this is due to a bandwidth or wireless issue.
I’ve tried increasing  the radio station buffer to 7s and radio station
timeout to 15s which seemed to help a bit – but difficult to be certain
how much this has helped. I’ve also installed SBS 7.5.3 beta.
I’ve noted some strange behaviour accompanying this problem  - for
example a track will play to say the 2.33s mark and then loop back to
2.30 to 2.33 and back to 2.30, seemingly in continuous 3s loop (as
viewed on SBS on my windows XP PC). At this time my Duet player will
give up and go into idle mode. Hitting the back or forward button on
the controller or on SBS server results in an immediate recovery – but
for a few tracks only only before the problem reoccurs. I can’t find
any other reported incidences of this problem on this thread but am
hoping someone can shed light on what is happening or how to go about
troubleshooting it (patience please – remember I’m more or less
“illiterate”!) Below is a copy of the Helper App log file if this is of
any use.
Many thanks in anticipation........
