Free Music Throughout Your Home With Spotify

Spotify is great on your laptop or pc, but what if you need to play that music through your home audio 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 very 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 already been created, most are based around sharing playlists between users but you can go further. For example, there's an app that enables you to stream Spotify to your hifi via Apple's Airport and Airtunes adapter.

This will enable you to 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 any number of remote controls, keypads or touch-panels in the house. One solution is to build a stand alone box that acts as both a Spotify client and a tcp server that can be controlled from any number of ethernet devices through the entire home. The unit can be tucked away in a cupboard or 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 whole house AV system, whereby the Spotify music stream could be switched to any room in the house.
