your library with an .m3u extension and it will pick it up.

If the m3u contains an http URL it will be added as an internet radio station,

Spotify
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
forked-daapd has *some* support for Spotify. It must be compiled with the
|
||||
--enable-spotify option (see INSTALL). You must have also have libspotify
|
||||
installed, otherwise the Spotify integration will not be available. You can
|
||||
get libspotify here:
|
||||
|
||||
- Original (binary) tar.gz, see <https://developer.spotify.com>
|
||||
- Debian package (libspotify12), see <https://apt.mopidy.com>
|
||||
|
||||
You must also have a Spotify premium account.
|
||||
|
||||
The procedure for logging in to Spotify is very much like the Remote pairing
|
||||
procedure. You must prepare a file, which should have the ending ".spotify".
|
||||
The file must have two lines: The first is your Spotify user name, and the
|
||||
second is your password. Move the file to your forked-daapd library.
|
||||
Forked-daapd will then log in and add all the music in your Spotify playlists
|
||||
to its database.
|
||||
|
||||
Spotify will automatically notify forked-daapd about playlist updates, so you
|
||||
should not need to restart forked-daapd to syncronize with Spotify.
|
||||
|
||||
For safety you should delete the ".spotify" file after first login. Forked-daapd
|
||||
will not store your password, but will still be able to log you in automatically
|
||||
afterwards, because libspotify saves a login token. You can configure the
|
||||
location of your Spotify user data in the configuration file.
|
||||
|
||||
Limitations: You will only be able to play tracks from your Spotify playlists,
|
||||
so you can't search and listen to music from the rest of the Spotify catalogue.
|
||||
You will not be able to do any playlist management through forked-daapd - use
|
||||
a Spotify client for that. You also can only listen to your music by letting
|
||||
forked-daapd do the playback - so that means you can't stream from forked-daapd
|
||||
to iTunes. Finally, Spotify artwork is not currently supported.
