How to Spotify your Reciva radio

What follows is indebted to hacker!

1. Follow the instructions at [WWW]http://internetradio.lefora.com/2009/08/28/stream-spotify-to-your-internet-radio/ to set up your radio for Spotify connection.

2. That's it!

Notes:

Once you have a SPOTIFY stream link set up in My Streams, just choose this stream - it will say Connecting ... Now start playing your Spotify selection from your PC. The PC sound will cut out as soon as the radio starts connecting to the stream, whereupon you can relax to excellent sound quality (upto 320mbps) and an amazing choice of music as the radio plays the stream!

If you didn't already know that Spotify is a peer-to-peer service then do check your bandwidth limits and usage (if you knew already then you have presumably already checked).

Apple users: zeewier reports "This won't work for Apple Mac users but they should not despair since they can use Nicecast (unfortunately, not free) to broadcast the Spotify audio (in fact, any source of audio on the Mac) to their internet radio. This will work in a similar way as the DSBridge method described for Windows.

iPhone Control

If you want to skip tracks etc without going back to your PC then this works quite well -

Mocha VNC Lite (currently free from app store)

Zoom in on bottom left corner of screen and you can access the skip next/previous buttons and also see the album artwork.
