I installed Spotify on my XP desktop and W7 notebook but the notebook is not able to detect my android phone although my desktop does. Yes, I did ensure only one was on at every attempt of the link-up. Is this a flaw I shouldn't be getting or an acknowledged limitation by design? I am a premium subscriber.

Hey! Welcome to the community 🙂
On the Windows 7 notebook, can you try running Spotify as administrator? Exit Spotify (File > Close) and then open it again by right clicking on the desktop icon and selecting "Run as Administrator". You might also need to allow Spotify through Windows Firewall on Windows 7.
