Anybody desperate for Spotify with SBS on a NAS should at least *-try-* DSBridge. The main downside is you have to run Spotify on a laptop or PC and control it from that PC.
However, in my opinion, the interface is much better on a computer and what is more it will work with the free version whereas Triode's (excellent) PC plugin and the Sonos implementation only work with the Premium service. The main downsides are; 1. the need to wait for a PC or laptop to boot-up before you can use it. 2. no artwork on the Controller, Touch or Radio Give it a go, and if you think you can live with those limitations then it may be all you need. I run "Spotify Free" wirelessly on a Dell Netbook and an old Pentium 4 desktop, both with WinXP and it runs great on both.

In that case you would be better off investing in a dedicated, Intel/Windows based, server and running Triode's plugin. -- TheLastMan Matt *SqueezeBoxes:* SB Duet (Controller + two receivers) *Server:* Synology Diskstation 107+ NAS (with firmware 2.3-1157) running Squeezebox Server 7.5.0 on Synology Package Manager *Network:* Netgear DG834GT ADSL modem/router, 2 x Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 as access points *Livingroom:* Receiver into Naim 42/110 amp, B&W CM2 speakers *Kitchen:* Receiver into Denon DM37 mini-system, B&W 686 speakers *Study:* Linn LP12, Naim 72/Hi-cap/Headline.
