Connecting Spotify to SnakeOil
#1
Hi, pals.  Look, would you please tell me what's your latest, best, and successful way to let Spotify to play music thru MPD in Snakeoil OS, e.g. Spotify Connect?  
As I did not using Spotify at all, I'm just helping an old friend.  So please excuse this silly help request.  
Any help will be much appreciated.  Smile

Suggest using LMS plugins to connect streaming services like Spotify.  It is one of the reasons why I switched from Mpd to LMS.

LMS uses a plugin to connect to Spotify. After adding the plugin, there should be a separate web page to configure the Spotify login, password and parameters..There is no need to edit any files.

Perhaps these may help?

Thanks.  I would like to keep using mpd as far as I can.  Because the user (my old friend) may not feel ease to adapt.

Been a long time user of Mpd but the lack of development has been frustrating, And no user forum. Without music streaming, Mpd may become a fringe music player?

In contrast, there is an active community that develops and supports LMS, taking feedback from the user forum. Material Skin is a good interface. Streaming plugins allow a user to easily navigate between local music and online music.

Seems you're implying "Spotify Connect" in Snakeoil Software tab can be removed. Big Grin

Don't use Spotify. Not sure if anyone on SO has used it?

Still believe LMS provides a more comprehensive solution for most music streaming services.  Also no need for AK to support individual streaming music players.
