Ok, here it is: based on Triode's great work I'm providing my latest plugin, the Spotify Protocol Handler.

What does it do?

The Spotify Protocol Handler plugin allows you to stream Spotify content not only to the officially supported SB Radio and SB Touch, but to SB Classic, SB Boom, SB Receiver and the Transporter, too. And yes, whatever SB emulator you're using should work as well. As an additional bonus the Spotify Protocol Handler plugin will give you full access to Logitech's Spotify app from players which are not officially supported.

How is it different from Triode's Spotify plugin?

The Spotify Protocol Handler doesn't provide any browsing or content management. You'll need to install Logitech's Spotify app to have access to Spotify, too. Triode's plugin starts to suffer from Spotify's changing of API. And as it's no longer maintained, and Logitech's new implementation is so great, the Spotify Protocol Handler is combining the best of both worlds.

Should I uninstall Triode's Spotify plugin before installing the Spotify Protocol Handler?

If you're happy with Spotify's plugin, then there's no need to change anything. If you'd prefer to use Logitech's Spotify implementation while using any of the non-supported players, then you'll need the Spotify Protocol Handler plugin. If you have both in place, the Spotify Protocol Handler will not initialize, as it doesn't add anything to Triode's implementation.

Does it work with the SmartMix plugin?

Of course!
