Can I add Spotify to the "music services: part on the home page on BluOs?
Answered
I just got my Node today and was setting up the BluOS app. I wanted to add Spotify as a music service, so it shows up like "my library, TuneIn and Radio Paradise do under music Services on the home page. However, when I click manage and click on Spotify, my only option is to "Install the Spotify app" which just opens up my Spotify app on my phone. It will not give me the options that I see on all the help pages about clicking on "devices" at the the bottom right corner. That does not exist for me, it just open my app. Every single time. Then the only way to get out of it is to hit done and it just takes me back to the home screen. I was really hoping that Spotify would show up on the main page of the BluOs app so i could easily get to it, like how it does on the Sonos app. I can't get it to integrate with the BluOS app. I have uninstalled the BlueOs app and tried again and even tried it on the app on my Mac and it does the same thing. It would be nice to use one app for everything and not switch around.

Spotify as a company don’t want their service integrated hence you have to use the Spotify App and use “Spotify Connect”.
They have in the past allowed a few manufacturers to integrate directly but probably stopped doing this to cut back on maintaining lots of different software integrations.

Thanks for that. So it’s basically like using AirPlay from the Apple Music app.

Well now that I have learned the difference between AirPlay and Spotify connect, I now know why AirPlay is garbage for me and always drops when I walk out of the room with my phone. But, stupid Spotify connect won’t let me stream on the node AND my other wireless speakers (unless I use crappy airplay)! This is insane. I had no idea how difficult this would be. Maybe I return the node and just use my HIFI for listening to records and only stream music services to my crappy Sonos speakers. This has all been such a disappointment :(
