Spotify On Noxon iRadio for iPod


At long last I have found a solution that allows Spotify to be streamed directly from your PC (not macs yet). It's incredibly simple and works very well. The only downsides is you can't control Spotify via the iRadio.

How to:

Full instructions are available here but for a simple overview just follow these instructions.

  1. Download DSBridge from the link, and also lame_enc.dll if you don't already have it.
  2. Unzip DSBridge to your Spotify folder, usually C:\Program Files\Spotify and copy lame_enc.dll to the same folder.

  3. Now when you start to play something in Spotify you will see a small coloured circle in you icon tray. To connect this new stream to you iRadio, you just have to tell it were to look. For this you will need to know the IP Address of both your PC and your iRadio.

  4. Open the settings page of your iRadio in your web browser using its IP Address and go to the favourites tab. Add a new favourite and put the link http://localhost:8124/ where localhost is your PC's IP Address.
  5. Now, open Spotify and play something, go to your iRadio and select the new favourite and hey presto Spotify will be playing.
