2. The Streamer Spotify Connect Function
Note:
Spotify Connect is not available in all countries. For a list of availability by country visit the
support pages at www.spotify.com/connect.
With its
Spotify input
enabled, a Naim streamer connected to the same local network as the device
running the Spotify app and in receipt of a Spotify stream will automatically select its Spotify input
and play the audio. The streamed audio programme will display on the streamer front panel and on
the Naim n-Stream app. Programme transport (play, pause, previous, next, stop) and volume can be
controlled using the streamer handset, the streamer front panel controls, the n-Stream app or the
Spotify app.
Note:
Once a streamer has been connected to the Spotify app over a common local network it will
become visible to the app and able to play Spotify streams with app control over the Internet.
