Free Music Throughout Your Home With Spotify

Spotify is excellent on your laptop or pc, but what if you want to play that music during your home sound system? To integrate Spotify right into a home audio system you will need a stand alone solution that can access Spotify without your personal computer. Fortunately,Spotify released their own api package that allows software developers to write their own custom Spotify software. What does this mean? well the api enables you to create custom applications to interface with the Spotify client. Many great applications have been completely created, most are based around sharing playlists between users but you can go further. For example, there's an app that lets you stream Spotify to your hifi via Apple's Airport and Airtunes adapter.

This will let you play Spotify music on your hifi, but you will still need your laptop/PC and it lacks the convenience of a larger integrated whole house system. What is possible, is to combine Spotify with a server application that integrates with a variety of remote controls, keypads or touch-panels in the house. One solution is to build a standalone box that acts as both a Spotify client and a tcp server which can be controlled from a variety of ethernet devices through the entire home. The unit can be saved in a cupboard and even rack mounted in an existing AV hub. The box can be connected right to a TV or hifi, but it can even be connected into a entire home AV system, whereby the Spotify music stream can be switched to any room in the house.

Most of the cool Spotify features could be easily incorporated into convenient hand held controls. Examples of what's possible include: a Spotify search feature that lets you search by track,album and artist.  spotify saves kopen  can also create a seamless menu system that enables you to search between these categories. You will also have the ability to create and edit play list from your searches and also incorporate other's play lists. Like the Spotify internet browser, cover art, album and artist information and also a list of recommended artists based upon your present music choices are possible!
