[Update from Andy]
If you are wondering why Spotify is not supported on our older ip3k
players, here's why:

Spotify's audio API (libspotify) is closed-source, even for partners.
This works fine on Radio and Touch because they've provided us with
special ARM builds, but for ip3k it would have to be ported by us. Even
if we were to get the source code (very unlikely) it would never fit in
or run fast enough on ip3k anyway. Decrypting a large amount of AES
data, plus Vorbis decoding? Forget about it.


Fair point, if that is what Spotify provide you can only do what you can
- it really needs us Spotify premium account holders to raise this with
them, we pay £10 a month, we should demand a solution from them.  I want
this supported natively on my Boom (I am using Triode & it is a very good
solution) because Squeezebox and Spotify is the ultimate music streaming
solution outside the US.

We all need to pressure Spotify to help Logitech with this.  Good
progress though, well done.
