Re: SPOTIFY & Wireless streaming

airfoil works on my airport express ÿso I can't see why it wouldn't on apple tv...it's not free about £20, but it will play anything to wireless speakers...i often use it with last.fm and it works very well indeed.ÿ

It's a real shame that Sonos don't support Spotify... would probably buy one of their rigs if they did.

Re: SPOTIFY & Wireless streaming

I want (if it's possible) to listen to the Spotify stream on the hifi. I have a laptop loaded with XP, external DAC and wireless broadband. What else do I need? Thanks.

Airport Express plus Airfoil is the cheapest way, if you want it to be wireless. There are probably ways to do it wired though, depending on the specific laptop and DAC.

Re: SPOTIFY & Wireless streaming

If you visit the slimdevices forum, there are workarounds to get spotify working with squeezeboxes.  I haven't tried it myself yet though.  I believe Logitech are working on an official solution.
