How are you running your Squeezebox today? Is it connected to the cloud server (http://mysqueezebox.com/), or do you have your own LMS (Logitech Media Server) running locally on your PC or maybe a NAS? Do you have local collection of music, or do you just play from internet sources (radio, spotify, etc...)? Spotify wont work anymore using mysqueezebox.com. You need to have your own LMS running locally, and on that LMS you need to install the Spotty plugin. If you already have LMS running on your a Windows or Mac PC, changes are good you only need to install (and configure) the Spotty plugin. If you already have LMS running on a NAS, it might very well work too when installing Spotty. But it depends on your NAS model. If you are currently using the cloud setup (mysqueezebox.com), you need to install LMS locally somewhere instead. You can: 1) Install it on your PC (downside: Only works when your PC is turned on) 2) Purchase a NAS and install it on that. 3) Or go for the Raspberry Pi solution everybody's talking about. Downsides? Well, Spotty is an unofficial plugin using an unofficial "API". There's no guarantee it will keep working. But then again, the official solution didn't last forever either... */Stig* 'www.*rockland*.dk' (http://www.rockland.dk) - 'www.*last.fm*/user/rockland' (https://last.fm/user/rockland) - 'www.*discogs*.com/user/StigNygaard' (https://discogs.com/user/StigNygaard) - '*plus.google*.com/+StigNygaard' (https://google.me/+StigNygaard) *Server:* LMS 7.9.1 ('LmsRepack' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?107180)) - 1494667952 @ Sat May 13 on Synology DS716+II. *Clients:* 'RPi3 (Max2Play, HiFiBerry Digi+ Pro)' (https://shop.max2play.com/en/raspberry-pi-2-bundle-7-display.html), SB Touch, OrangeSqueeze/SqueezePlayer. *Livingroom HiFi:* Marantz PM6005 and F3/Lyd Audiovector 2.
