@New 2023 Spotify Plugin

Hey everyone, I just wanted to jump in and clarify a few points, since many of you have asked about Spotify integration and lossless support. As Volumio, we’ve applied several times over the past six years to become official implementors of Spotify’s SDK.

Thank you for the clarification.

I really appreciate the transparency. It’s unfortunate that Spotify has not responded after all these years.

Thank you for keeping us informed.
