This improves Volumio with Spotify impressively. Not only playlists are shown, but compiled-for-you, Discover and other lists, too. Also recently played tracks, your top artists etc. It takes Volumio almost to the point of not requiring the Spotify client at all. Nice spot Martin! Still room for improvement, but a big step in the right direction. Very easy to implement with WinSCP. Thanks for sharing  |

Glad to help. Surprisingly, it was a bit buried in the Volumio forum rather than being highlighted. Major fix for me.

Me too, I really dislike searching and navigating Spotify via Volumio. Integrating Playlist from Shazam, Sound Hound, etc... makes it so much easier to access new finds and having Saved Albums and Recently Played folders is a godsend.

Goodness me, after being led to believe that the Audio Resampling setting is for files only, it ain't so! Now that I have a display to see what the DAC is actually receiving, I was wondering why my Qobuz 24/192 stream was showing 88 on the display. I disabled resampling and now I'm getting the proper 192 showing.
This is worth knowing and I'll ask Michelangelo whether they redesigned resampling to be effective on everything.

Yeah, that kinda makes sense.. Was it Volumio forum / Michaelangelo that said you wouldn't? |

Both Michelangelo and the Spotify plug-in writer Balbuze said it.
However, it may be true of plug-ins but not built-in capability.

Yes, quite possibly Paul. It's good to have visual indication of the format now, not that I want to get anal about it.
I'm leaving the upsampling setting off so that I get native format always.

I have it set to 32 / 192 as Allo said Kali reclocker needed it.
I play Flacs at various res's and the lights on Kali change accordingly.
Never changes on Spotify of course..
I do need to go through them in Jriver and label them .. winter evening job..

Interesting as I'll be switching to Pi/Kali in the next phase. I've never seen reference to it needing 32/192 to work? Doesn't that overwork the Pi somewhat?

"With Kali 24bit format does not play back properely. So enable Audio resampling on to 32bit." I thought in for a penny.. set it to 192 as well. I only have one album at the silly 384 Res, so don't care about that.. Pi seems to manage it just fine.. |

AH - so it's for 24-bit? Seems a bit of a problem. Thanks for the warning, I will tread carefully when getting the Audiophonics up and running.

Is there a way to stop the need to raise the volume manually on device that Spotify is being controlled from?
I'm using Spotify / Spotify connect plugin.
There is a setting in Volumio, that I've set to max but often when I return after a period away and play the Volumio volume on the Spotify device is very low and I need to press the up volume button (tablet or phone) to get volume. I always use 100%.
The RPi is left on, and device running Spotify goes to standby of course, but Volumio is always in the device list..

What are you using as a controller on the fire tablet and android tabs on the SOtM you can control via the volume control on the tablet or phone as does not have a icon for this in these 2 devices

I have my Volumio set to 100% as I do with Spotify (and the Spotify Connect Plug-in). That way I'm not throwing bits away doing it digitally.
It doesn't ever change from my default. Is that what's happening to you?

Yes, it always starts so quietly you can't hear anything and I have to up it to 100%.. All such settings are greyed out in Spotify. I've not seen anywhere you can change Spotify connect setting - enlighten me  |

I've not seen anywhere you can change Spotify connect setting - enlighten me The Spotify Connect plug-in has a starting volume setting. |
