Previously you just need to add the Spotify app plugin and login your Spotify account, it would show on the screen. Then, you can play Spotify music on Squeezebox. However, since Logitech proclaimed the discontinuation of Squeezebox in 2012, Spotify also announced that it no longer supports playing music on Squeezebox in 2017.
Although Spotify no longer supports streaming music on Squeezebox officially, there are still 2 ways for Squeezebox users to play Spotify music on Squeezebox now. In this article, we will show you the best 2 ways and recommend you a tool to help you stream Spotify music on Squeezebox in the most convenient and easiest way.
Squeezebox in general has two operating modes; either standalone where the device connects to an internet streaming service directly, or to a local computer running the Logitech Media Server or a network-attached storage device. Both the server software and large parts of the firmware on the most recent players are released under open source licenses.
