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.

  3. 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.
  4. Now, open Spotify and play something, go to your iRadio and select the new favourite and hey presto Spotify will be playing.

    Thanks, it still works after all those years. It is not a very flexible solution but now I can at least stream Spotify to my NOXON iRadio wirelessly!

    Works fine! Though you have to edit the dsbridge.ini file if you use Spotify Free. Change the MP3BitRate to 160. You also have to replace the spotify version of dsound.dll to the one included in the DSBridge download. After that it works like a charm! Even the music titles are shown in the iRadio display :) Thank you, StarPoint! Hope you read this.

    Forgot to say that in Windows 7 (and probably also in Windows 8.1 and 10) the Spotify directory is :
    C:\Users\'YourUserName'\AppData\Roaming\Spotify
    The files are hidden so you have to change the settings in the file explorer. That is were the dsbridge.ini and dsound.dll should be placed.
