New Spotty online integration allows you to access your spotify Library. So basically if you use your official Spotify app or web interface you would see your Albums, Artists, podcasts, Thats you Spotify library. Thanks to spotty you can see your Spotify Library in your LMS Library together with your local Library.. So if you go into let say Album Artists you will see both your local albums and albums from Spotify.. all in one place Playlists are different and you still need to go to Spotty and navigate to playlists (for Spotify playlists) Spotify songs from your LMS playlists won't be included in your LMS library unless are also in your Spotify Library.. TBH If you were and going to use LMS playlists in same manner as before I don't think you will see much difference.. randy5419 wrote: > > With Spotty 4, I was hoping to do the same as I do now, except that the > albums currently in my LMS Favorites would be listed in My Library, > which is organized as Artist/Album.

You don't need to use connect at all for online library integration. You dont need to be outside of LMS to add to your Spotify Library (and as extension Integrated Library),basically doesn't matter where and how you add songs/albums to your Spotify Library, key is: Albums/artists from your Spotify Albums/artists will be listed in your LMS Albums/artists, not actual playlists.. regardless if Spotify Playlists or LMS Hope that's makes any sense..
