No longer able to connect spotify to my yamaha r-n301

[AndrewTurner]

Up until recently I have been able to run Spotify on my iMac and select to stream sound to my Yamaha r-n301. However this has now stopped working an on the device it tells me 'Need Premium' which I have.

Can anyone tell me how I might get this working again?

Hey @AndrewTurner

Spotify has made some server upgrades. Some receivers will need a firmware update to work again and get the latest version of Spotify.

Check out this page for the latest information on Spotify for receivers:

The way to listen to Spotify with some speakers and sound systems is changing.
