    Roku 3 & Spotify

    Hey guys I noticed the Roku 3 is out today. I use Spotify a ton and am curious if anyone here uses the Spotify app on their Roku. If so, my main question before possibly getting a Roku is whether the Spotify app syncs your locally sourced music to the Roku box. I.e. right now, if I rip some songs and put them on my computer, then import them into Spotify, they become available for my playlists. Then if I sync that playlist with my phone while on the same LAN, my phone will automatically download the files from my computer via the LAN.

    Oh and one other Roku question, does it only work for the paid versions of the streaming video providers? I.e. Hulu Plus but not Hulu free?

    I'd be curious to hear about it too. I'm more in the conceptual area, though, wondering what capabilities those things provide.

    Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

      Don't know on the playlist sync, but all 'stream devices' I've seen require the paid service to work, Hulu, Spotify, Etc.

        Need a new BD player with streaming (Amazon Prime, Hulu etc). and component video
        by Kevin P
        Although my 9 year old Sony BDP-S570 still works flawlessly, it's obsolete... as in more and more streaming services don't work on it. Amazon Prime Video is scheduled to end support for my player in late September. It also doesn't support Hulu at all, and with the Orville moving there for season 3,...

        Converting CDs to MP3s

        My eight-year-old happens to think that CDs are from the "olden- days."

        Not surprising, given that in this household, most of the 1,000 or so CDs that I own sit on a shelf, serving as nothing...

        Spotify
        by impala454
        I didn't see any "main" thread about Spotify so I figured I'd start one, and here's the specific question I can seem to find: Has anyone tried the "enhanced sound" included with the spotify premium? I'm just curious what all that entails, can't seem to find much detail easily.

        No one's posted about this yet? How can that be! I think it just looks so cute -- like if you combined Juno, Little Miss Sunshine, and Garden State, you might get something like Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. It just looks so good, and I absolutely love Michael Cera (Arrested Development FTW!)...

        Hi Guys – glad to see this place is still alive and active.

        I’m dropping by to get some advice on how to complete my HT setup that I started down the path of building about, 5 or so years ago . I believe my old handle was Jblack03 (I think) but created this new account.
