6.1 Using Spotify Connect
Your radio has Spotify Connect built in. This lets you control the music playing on your radio using the Spotify app
on your smartphone or tablet. Listening is seamless – you can take calls, play games, watch a video, even switch
your phone off, all without interrupting the music. It’s a better way to listen at home.
You’ll need a Spotify Premium account to use Spotify Connect. If you don’t have it, just go to www.spotify.com/
freetrial for your free 30-day trial.

2. Connect your radio to the same network as your smartphone or tablet, and then press MODE button on
the remote control repeatedly to select Spotify Connect mode.
3. Open the Spotify app on your smartphone or tablet, and play any song.
4. Tap the square image of the song’s cover art in the bottom left of the screen. Then tap the Connect
icon.
5. Tap ‘DigitRadio 580’ from the list to select your radio. If you can’t see it, just check it’s connected to the
same network as your smartphone of tablet. You will notice that your radio is currently listed as “DigitRadio
580 xxxxxxxxxxxx” (the 12 digit alphanumeric code is the MAC address of your radio) in the Spotify App. If

can do so as follows:

down and take a note of the ‘ IP address ’.
