I am using Spotty and LMS 7.9.1. I actually eventually bit the bullet and upgraded to 7.9.1 *because* I use Spotify (and hence Spotty) a lot. Indeed it is awesome to discover new music, ot to check out new music by a fav artist before plonking down on the CD ti rip it and get that infinitesimal AQ extra. :-D
7.9.1 is absolutely rock solid. Works actually better than the old versions, IMHO. And integration with Spotify via Spotty in 7.9.1 is awesome. So my recommendation is to bite the bullet and upgrade to 7.9.1 and leave things like that, it's far less work than setting up a separate Pi-based system, I'd imagine. Only caveat with using Spotify through Spotty is that, while you can of course create great playlists, when you save them within LMS they shall stay in LMS, and not propagate to Spotify (say, when you're in the gym and want to listen to a playlist you created through LMS). I tent to use the two systems for different music listening styles, so it suits me, but YMMV. ...pablo Server: Virtual Machine (on VMware Workstation 14 Pro) running Ubuntu 16.04 + LMS 7.9 System: SB Touch --optical->- Benchmark DAC2HGC --AnalysisPlus Oval Copper XLR->- NAD M22 Power Amp --AnalysisPlus Black Mesh Oval->- Totem Element Fire Other Rooms: 2x SB Boom; 1x SB Radio; 1x SB Classic-> NAD D7050 -> Totem DreamCatcher + Velodyne Minivee Sub Computer audio: workstation --USB->- audioengine D1 -> Grado PS500e/Shure 1540 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109979 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
