Part 1. Is There Another Way to Stream Spotify to Squeezebox?

Squeezebox doesn't support to connect to online streaming music services anymore. But users can still listen to local songs if they set up the Logitech Media Server, also known as Slim Server or Squeezebox Server.

So the question if you can stream Spotify music to Squeezebox depends on if you can turn Spotify online songs to offline music.

Like any other streaming music, Spotify is protected officially, making it difficult to copy to other places. In addition, even if you subscribe to the Spotify Premium to download the songs offline, you still can't locate them as they are encrypted.

To solve this problem, one of the best options is to decrypt Spotify songs by using DRmare Music Converter for Spotify. This software combines the advanced technology to unlock encrypted songs without touching the music quality and the converting speed is up to 5X.

It comes with a free trial version, you can evaluate it to find out how does it works to decide if it is a right software for you.

Squeezebox supports different formats including FLAC, MP3, WAV, OGG and ACC. Please just go to the preferences of the DRmare software and select one format you like. Here I'd recommend you to choose MP3 which is an universal format. It won't be wrong no matter how you want to use the songs for.
