Qnap Spotify App
Use QNAP NAS to stream millions of songs from Spotify. Published on: 2019-02-19.
Spotify’s Apple Watch app is getting the option to stream music or podcasts without connecting to an iPhone. You'll be able to listen to your playlists over WiFi or a cellular connection. The feature appears to be in beta amid a broader rollout, so it might not be available for you just yet.
After several users reported (via 9to5 Mac) they could stream music through the Watch app directly, Engadget confirmed the feature works. As such, you won’t need to have an iPhone close by to listen to your favorite tracks.
“We’re focused on developing experiences that enable users to listen to Spotify wherever and whenever they want — regardless of the device or platform,” Spotify told Engadget in a statement. “After an initial testing period, we are now rolling out streaming capabilities for Spotify on the Apple Watch.'
Offline listening somehow still isn’t an option on the Watch app, two years after Spotify released it. However, the next time you're out for a walk or a run, you might be able to leave your phone at home and stream your Spotify playlists with an LTE-enabled Apple Watch.

Qnap Downloads
- Twonky media server installed on a QNAP NAS system - Android Samsung tablet as a mobile controll unit for search and play options based on a special app (Bubble DS) for LINN devices. Please give me a hint how can I handle this. The spotfy app on my tablet works fine but the output is only possible direct on my tablet.
- Qmusic is a mobile app designed for remote music management. It allows you to stream music stored on the QNAP NAS to your mobile devices without eating into the limited capacity of these devices. Qmusic supports multiple music-playing modes and playlists.
As otherwise this is basically the same as 1.99.x with improved Windows support, I'll re-post the announcement :-).
Except for how to enable the feature. Read all of this announcement to get things working!
Qnap App Repository
- Control Spotify playback on your Squeezebox using Spotify's applications (desktop, mobile)
- Get access to (some of - see below) the Spotify content which is not available through their API yet, thus can't be accessed through the plugin
- Transfer Spotify playback from your office Squeezebox to your phone to your car to your phone to your home Squeezebox
It's a bit of a hack, but it seems to be working reasonably well. So here's the list of open issues and limitations I'm aware of:- For whatever reason Spotify would not allow me to play Podcasts to Spotty
- Squeezebox would show the next track's metadata 5-10s before it actually starts playing (whil the previous track was still active)
- Spotify's limitations apply: if you play music to your Squeezebox using Connect, you cannot listen to Spotify on your phone or any other Spotify Connect endpoint.
- Doesn't work with password protection on LMS.
If you want to give Spotty Connect a try, go to the LMS web UI, Settings/Player/Spotty, and enable the feature for the device(s) you want. Please note that every activated player will launch a daemon in the background. Be careful if you run LMS on a NAS with 256MB or even less...

PS: NAS devices known to be compatible or not with Spotty at this point:Apps For Qnap Nas
- Synology: check out your model in the CPU architecture overview. If it's in the Intel x86-*, or armv7 section, then you're fine. Make sure you're running the latest DSM and LMSRepack or LMSUpdate. Otherwise I'm sorry.
- ReadyNAS: The old Sparc based devices (Duo, NV), as well as their ARMv5 based successors (Duo v2, NV v2) will not work. On newer models you might need to manually install IO::Socket::SSL.
- QNAP: similarly to Synology there are many different models. Unfortunately I haven't found a good overview. If you're on Intel, then you should be fine. ARM - depends on what exact model. You, too, might need to install IO::Socket::SSL
