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  Spotify streams kopen  into a home audio system you will need a stand alone solution that may access Spotify without your pc. 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 will let you 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 own hifi, but you'll 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 home. One solution would be to build a stand alone 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 could be tucked away in a cupboard and even rack mounted in an existing AV hub. The box could be connected right to a TV or hifi, but it may also be connected into a entire home AV system, whereby the Spotify music stream can be switched to any room in the house.

A lot 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 enables you to search by track,album and artist. Also you can create a seamless menu system that lets you search between these categories. You will also manage to create and edit play list from your own searches and even incorporate other's play lists. Like the Spotify internet browser, cover art, album and artist information and even a listing of recommended artists based on your present music choices are possible!
