Squeezebox and spotify

[gingersmarty]

hi again, following a thread last night i was given a couple of options for accessing my laptop music via my cyrus set up.

A google search has popped up "logitech sqeezebox", will this work with spotify or do the music files have to be in a set location rather than streamed.

Sean.

Not yet.

Is there any way of wireless/bluetouth spotify to a stereo?

Yeah,you could use an Airport Express with Airfoil running on your pc/mac.

For Bluetooth you could consider the Chord electronics Chordette Gem dac, a pricey option though, or cheaper option would be a bluetooth receiver. There's plenty of them on the market,google's your friend for those though, and not sure what the SQ would be like.

what sort of sound quality is achieved using the airport? As it is streamed does this bypass the Laptop sound card?

thanks sean

Yes it by-passes the soundcard, and SQ is good by all accounts
