Spotify claims it will be compatible with existing Connect speakers, so if we're lucky Spotty will just work ;) I seriously doubt it. Their current streams are Ogg. I would be surprised if _any_ Connect speaker would work without a firmware update. _

Great news! I hope it will be available in Canada and for only a few dollars more for lossless streaming like Amazon Music HD. I have tried Tidal (too expensive) and AM HD (reasonably priced), but have always reverted back to Spotify because it is best at personalizing playlist.

Hi again Turns out I am using the MIS. I have just one setting set, that being "Extended Text Display" which is set to "Use screensaver settings." So I am just wondering why when playing songs via Spotty is slightly different to playing song from the locally stored Artists I have. Are you sur

Currently when I press NOW PLAYING, the right-hand screen shows " by from " for 30 seconds UNTIL the 30 seconds timer times out, and then it displays Album Artist. What you're seeing there might just be the "playlist format" as defined somewhere in the LMS settings. From LMS' point of view it

Hi Sorry for the confusion. I don't actually need the MusicInfoSCR plugin I believe. It's just a Spotty "fix". All I want is this: When it is playing an album from Spotty, then when I press the NOW PLAYING button on the Transporter (or Remote control), I want the left-hand screen to display t

Ah ha. I think it must be a bug because I can trick it into doing the right thing. To trick it, do this: STEP 1: Whilst track 3 is playing, arrow up to track 2 so that Current Playlist is showing on the left-screen rather than Now Playing, and the desired Album/Artist is showing on the the righ
