Dave, if you/your son-in-law finds a solution please share it -I'm totally stuffed as far as technical instructions go though.

Using spotty on an SBT. A doddle to install and use.

Yes. 3rd party app. Get rid of your original Spotify app and then select the Spotty plugin.
Logitech media server. The bit of software you run on the pc/mac (or pi or nas) that manages your music and slings it to your squezebox
Is there "An idiots guide to installing and using Spotty" by any chance anywhere? I can't work it all out. I've got LMS set up on my laptop and when I click on Open Control Panel I get a message in red saying "I dont have privileges etc. and I need to click Run As Administrator" . I do this, the message disappears but then LMS is saying "No player detected". I must admit I'm baffled by it all.
No player detected indicates that your player is not connected to LMS on your laptop.
Go to the player and direct it to LMS running on your laptop.
You need to go to My Music/Switch Server, and connect the player to the server on your laptop.
The Spotty stuff is accessed via the web controller, which you can access from a right click on the running LMS on your laptop, or you can enter the IP address of your laptop, followed by :9000, so it would read something like 192.168.0.2:9000 .
You then click on Settings (bottom right of the screen), and another tab opens up. Click on the plugins tab and rummage around there - the Spotty app should already be there, you just need to find it.
You might as well switch off the Spotify apps, because they won't work, and there's no point in having them there.
