[slim] Can I use the Spotify app to initiate playback to my server/player?
My current setup is simply running the server and the software-based player Squeezeplayer on the same PC with output to stereo. As a potential Spotify Premium abonnee, I'm curious if I could use the Spotify app directly (iOS or Android) as a remote control to browse music, playlists, and initiate playback. Basically, I'm wondering if I could use this entirely software based squeeze system as a Spotify Connect system. Or, do I need to use one of the Squeezebox remote control apps as the interface for all Spotify related controls. floepie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101471 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Can I use the Spotify app to initiate playback to my server/player?
If you see you use the proper Spotify program on your PC you can use several different spotify remote apps to control it on your phone (android at least, I don't know about iOS) For example https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jbl.android.spotimote Or you could use any SB control app to control SqueezePlayer. Personally I like using SqueezePlayer on my PC for local playback because it cooperates very nicely with the rest of my SBs and LMS. However if you're only using Spotify you might be better off with the official app as it offers extra features not available on either the official or 3rd party spotify implementations on LMS Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk jimbobvfr400's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56857 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101471 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Can I use the Spotify app to initiate playback to my server/player?
The Squeezebox is not a Spotify Connect system, you'd have to use one of the Squeezebox control Apps to control Spotify on the Squeezebox. And the functionality is limited to what Spotify's APIs offer which is less than what especially the desktop Apps. The difference to Spotify's smartphone Apps is less significant and especially the 3rd party Spotify App has some functionality of it's own (building a library) --- 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 7, the Universal App for iOS 7* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101471 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I'm not entirely sure I follow. Are you saying that the Spotify PC application itself offers more features than what the APIs offered by SpotifyConnect do, which in turn offers more features than you could find with LMS remote control apps? It seems that short of running the Spotify application on the PC and controlling it with Spotimote, the best way to control Spotify would be to airplay it if using iOS, or using Chromecast on Android (when it arrives, if ever.) Actually the latter would be the very best, as you would have the benefits of the full blown mobile app, yet you wouldn't need to tether the mobile device with the actual player. floepie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101471 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Can I use the Spotify app to initiate playback to my server/player?
Spotify Connect isn't an API. It's a piece of Spotify-software running on a dedicated chipset. It works like AirPlay or ChromeCast in that it just takes the URL as sent from the Spotify App and plays it. Spotify has a set of (older) APIs plus their semi-public libspotify library you can use to integrate with it. Both of these are what essentially all pre-Spotify Connect Spotify integrations like the one for the Squeezebox or Sonos are using. These APIs don't support a lot of the functionality Spotify is offering through their own Apps, especially for the desktop client which has an App API of it's own (the prolific use of the term App these days makes talking about things related to software increasingly annoying). Logitech's implementation is primarily limited by Spotify's UI guidelines (it's pretty much exactly what Spotify expected an official implementation to do until 9 month or so ago). The 3rd party plugin offers some more fucntionality but you can't use things like Spotify radio or, say, playing Last.fm loved tracks. You are right about AirPlay but WRT Chromecast: I don't think anything other than Spotify Connect will allow you to not tether the device. The reason is that there's a DRM concept integrated into the streaming and only Spotify Connect supports that natively. --- 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 7, the Universal App for iOS 7* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101471 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Reasons why an album does not show up in the correct place in music folder list?
You say some of them do not show up in alphabetical order. From that I gather that some Miles Davis and Bill Evans show up in the correct spot alphabetically. Is That correct ? It also sounds as if you are searching LMS using My Music, Artists and then the problem folders/albums do not show where you think they should be ? If that is the case what I would do is to look at the tags in MP3Tag for both the ones that show up correctly and the ones that do not. This sounds like a tagging issue of some sort. Also look at the extended tags by highlighting the album and then right click, select extended tags. This will show tags one would not see in the normal view. The tagging process is tedious but not all that difficult. It is best to develop a scheme that works for how you want things to appear and to follow it in an almost anal manner. Also be sure to check the tags of albums that you may download over the internet, and/or tag using internet databases. Their tags may not fit the scheme you want to use. If they are tagged using an internet database check them after you Ok them, do not rely on what you see in the limited fields available prior to making the selection.

Have you checked the tags ? How the folders are named/labeled is of no significance. What matters are the tags for the albums. For example I can have a folder named 7-16-2001 Grateful Dead. If that is how the album is tagged in the Album Field it would show up at the top of the list as #s appear before letters.
