Spotify

Post by mrcarlzones »

Hello - I currently do not own a Bubba2, but thinking of getting one.

But I did have one question: is it possible (or will be) to run Spotify on the Bubba2? I understand it should be possible to install the Spotify client Wine - but has anyone tried it on a Bubba2?

Apart from the fact that I can't think of any good reason for doing this, I think this would be a total non-starter.

1. The Bubba doesn't have a GUI (by default anyway - even if you installed one you'd have to remote into it because there's no way of connecting a video display and then you may as well be running it on your local machine).

2. Bubba doesn't have any sound output.

However, it would cool for those of us who have a connected Squeezebox to our B2. :)
I don't think that this is a B2 matter as such, but wouldn't it be nice to have Spotify support using the B2 + SB combo ?
The only thing I've found so far is a plug-in which runs on Windows or Linux (x86) which does not make a B2 owner too happy..... :(
