Title: Using my Spotify account
Post by: joethebus on February 13, 2013, 07:07:56 am

I have set up my stereo so I listen to JRiver using WASAPI - Event style into my DAC via Firewire. Sounds great, especially with Hi Res files.

I quite like to play through any music I hear about before buying using Spotify Premium - but I can't do so any more because nothing plays except JRiver any more. I have read that people do listen to Spotify in or through JRiver. Is that so? If so, how's it done?

Thanks.  Joe

Your best bet is the Loopback feature. File > open live.
If your setup supports this now anything that is played with the default sound device can be rerouted through jriver and its dsp. In your case you probably can use the motherboard's sound device as the default  and then use your FireWire device as the output device for jriver.

OK then. This is not sounding good (and I'm sorry, )p( if what you suggested in the last post is a way of doing what I'm after; I'm afraid what you said has gone over my head a bit).

Just to clarify - after switching to playing music through JRiver in WASAPI - Event style because I'm advised that gives a quality, bit perfect output, via Firewire, to my DAC, I have found anything else I try to do with audio; like listen to internet radio, Spotify, play YouTube stuff etc. doesn't work.

Is there a way to configure the computer so it does, so that I can just switch from one to the other (as I do with Apple/iTunes/PureMusic)?
