Hi there, First of all you need a Spotify premium account, crrently £10 a month UK prices.
When you have that, fire up squeezeplayer on the computer, click home/server settings, and from the "basic settings" drop down menu select plugins. Scroll down to the 3rd party recommended plugins until you find Spotify by Triode. If it's not listed,you will need to update to a newer version of Squeezeplayer. Click on the app, follow the instructions, add your Spotify premium account user name and password and away you go. To access Spotify on Squeezebox, goto Internet radio and you'll see it there. With Napster,the computer does not need to be on,so I would imagine the same applies to Spotify, but I may need correcting on this! You don't specify where you live, but in the UK Spotify is currently pretty much the only option for on demand high bitrate streaming to a squeezebox. If you live elsewhere there may well be alternatives. It's pretty good though.On my hifi, there is no discernable difference between my flac files and Spotify(at360). When I stream from Napster, there is a noticeable difference compared to flac. One final feature with Spotify rarely mentioned. If you have a smart phone then download the free Spotify app, add your premium account password, and then sync all your playlists/tracks with your phone. Once done, click on the "force offline" tab on the phone. You will then be able to stream all those tracks via bluetooth to another device such as a car radio. This feature has transformed my car journey to work and back.
