spotify...

my experience is limited to apples airplay for streaming... it has the advantage of a toslink digital out, and being extremely stable and easy to setup...

Signed up for the premium account. I am hoping to stream upstairs in the house through a tablet or phone to a creative d100 speaker or similar... if anyone has experience in this area i am all ears:-)

iPhone or Android?


Anyone figured out how to add People? I'm hooked up via Facebook, but I can't seem to add someone just by username.

I am of course not expecting high end sound but streaming via Bluetooth worries me a bit- will it drop out? will the range be good enough? It seems the simplest solution. i am on android...

if you're using A2DP, then I'm pretty sure it's limited to AAC...

If you're streaming spotify, then the 320kbps max would be well within A2DP capability...

Cloney have a setup using elac and it sounds excellent...

I have spotify on the iPad and an airport express set up through win 7. I had thought this would only allow streaming of iTunes but it seems to allow me to stream any audio content form the iPad.

I'm intrigued by this. Are you able to stream directly from your iPad to your Express? What did you have to do first? I can't see any options on the iPad Spotify app to stream to Airport. Are you setting it in iTunes and it's just automatically streaming from the iPad?

I'm using a mac so it may be different.

as per screen shot below , the only place to see where one can choose airport is on this screen - the green icon on the right.



Initially I opened music (formerly iPod) selected airplay as the out here and then when I opened Spotify it streamed from this also.

Thanks JB. I think I will keep it much more simple and cheap.
I only want it for morning radio/spotify and some kids music/Danish stories etc for the lads when they are in the bath or later when they are older for their own use.

This one on top of a bathroom press and the power running up through the ceiling to the attic.



Then just stream via bluetooth from whatever device I might have. I am considering a kindle Fire HD or an Ipad Mini from Santa... ;)
