Spotify Connect
Streaming data rate - Spotify Connect
Your radio is able to stream content from Spotify at different data rates. If
your internet connection has a low data usage allowance, or has a relatively
low maximum data rate, you may wish to specify that your radio uses a
lower data rate for Spotify connections. In some cases this may allow more
reliable streaming, although at the expense of some loss of audio quality.
The data rate used for Spotify Connect is con
fi
gured via using a web
browser. This is the same page this is used to change the Friendly Name
of your radio.
1. Access the radio's con
fi
guration web page as described on page 91
of this instruction book.
2. The Spotify options at the top of the web page allow you to specify
the data rate used - either 96k, 160k or 320k bits per second. Select
the rate according to your needs.
For example, listening at a rate of 320kbps for 1 hour each day for a
month equates to approximately 4.5 gigabytes of data usage. If you
have a low data allowance you may wish to choose one of the lower
data rates.
3. The new data rate will be used by Spotify Connect to stream music
to your radio when the radio plays from a new playlist.
Friendly name - Spotify Connect
Your radio is identi
fi
ed within the Spotify app using its Friendly Name. By
default, your radio's name will be shown as "Roberts Stream 217" followed
by a 12 digit alphanumeric code which is the network MAC address that
is unique to your radio.
If you would like to change this name to something more personalised you
may follow the instructions on page 91 of this instruction book.
