Michael Well done with Spotty. I have it running now on my iMac which is running MacOS Sierra. Everything is as it should be except 'listen on another device' when using Spotify on the iMac itself. Hardly a shattering problem but thought you might like to know about it. It might be just a Mac quirk. Well done again. Losing the ability to run Spotify on my LMS would have been a big loss for me and would have prompted me to look elsewhere.
