Part 1. Play Spotify music on Your Own Squeezebox Server

Squeezebox in general has two operating modes; either standalone where the device connects to an internet streaming service directly, or to a local computer running the Logitech Media Server or a network-attached storage device. Both the server software and large parts of the firmware on the most recent players are released under open source licenses. Since Spotify no longer supports streaming music on Squeezebox, Squeezebox users now have to run their own Squeezebox server and install a plugin called Spotty. It can help you play Spotify Music on Squeeze again.
