I have to admit, there is still a good bit of confusion in my head (but
that has always been so with regard to how the squeezebox players,
especially their menus, work.

I have "Display on Home Menu" activated for all players on msb.com but
it doesn't seem to make a difference. At least not when I'm connected to
my local LMS. Which makes sense, of course, but then again it was my
understanding that you have to register your spotify app on msb.com only
once and then it works even if you never connect to msb.com any more.

I am not so sure about this point 5 any more after I just was asked
again to log into msb.com again in order to access the green spotify app
on my Touch. When I changed back to my local LMS the menu of the Touch
visibly reloaded and the green spotify app was nowhere to be found
anymore. Not on the home screen, not on in My Apps, nowhere. And before
it was clearly there, though I can't say whether I actually used it
there (Most of the time, I use my phone or the Webinterface to control
it). I'd like to believe that I did not use it and trying to do so now
somehow made the Touch realize that it wasn't connected to msb.com and
after it came back to my local LMS it reloaded another version of the
menu that does not have the green app in it. But that is just some wild
speculation based on the assumption that all this does have some
underlying logic...

Anyway, I think what might help to clear all of this up is to
distinguish between what works in terms of playing (actual sound coming
out of certain players) and menus (on what devices you can actually see
the green app and control current playlists (whether they are actually
played or not). This way of looking at things (and describing problems)
is coherent with 'the way SB players communicate with Spotify'
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?104436-Announce-We-re-updating-the-official-Spotify-app&p=832713&viewfull=1#post832713)
as well as with my (confusing) experiences. In addition, people should
report which library they are logged in while observing certain things.

On my part, I cam say that after following the '5 points above'
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?79706-Announce-Spotify-Premium-Plugin-(Beta)&p=833757&viewfull=1#post833757),
I can now play tracks via the green spotify app on -all- my players,
including the good old Boom without being logged in on msb.com. However,
I need to control the players either via the webinterface,
Squeezecommander on my Android phone or Squeezepad on my iPad since - at
least at the moment - the green app is absent from the menus of -all-
the actual players themselves. I would not be surprised if this changed
again any time soon, since I believe I was already a step further and
had the green app show up on Touch and Radio -and- be able to play on
them both.

Cheers,
Christoph
