for every mood and genre, the latest hits and new discoveries just for you.
With Spotify Connect feature, you can play and control all this music wirelessly. Choose music on
your smartphone or tablet, and listen on your radio.
*For service availability in your country, check www.spotify.com
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.
1. Download Spotify app for your smartphone or tablet (iOS or Android).
2. Connect your radio to the same network as your smartphone or tablet, and then press MODE
button on your radio 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. If you can’t see it, just check it’s connected to the same
network as your phone 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 you would
like to change this name to something more personal (‘John’s
DigitRadio 580’ for example), you can do so as follows:
a. On the radio: Press MENU button and select Main
menu > System settings > Network > View settings.
Scroll down and take a note of the ‘IP address’.
b. On your computer: Ensure that your computer is on the
same network as the radio, then enter the IP address
into your browser’s address bar (example:
192.168.0.34). This will allow you to view some of the
radio’s diagnostics, but also change its name.

20
6. The Connect icon will turn green to signify that your radio is now selected and being used for
audio playback.
7. Your Spotify app will only recognize your radio when the radio is connected to the internet (i.e.

in non-internet modes (i.e. in DAB, FM, CD, Bluetooth or Aux in mode) you need to select
Main menu > System settings >Network > Keep network connected > YES. This also
allows you to wake the radio from standby using your Spotify app.
#Note: If unattended to use radio for long periods of time, e.g. overnight, while on holiday
or while out of the house, select ‘NO’ to avoid unnecessary energy consumption.
*For information on how to set up and use Spotify Connect please visit www.spotify.com/connect
Controlling Spotify Connect
You can now control Spotify from the app like normal; search for and play your tracks, change the
volume and add to playlists even though playback is through your radio. The next time you open
the Spotify app, playback will continue through your radio.
Spotify Connect is a cloud-based service, therefore after activation on your radio, your
smartphone or tablet no longer needs to be on the same network to control audio playback.

Your Spotify account details are now stored on your radio. To overwrite this with another Spotify
account, simply follow the activation steps again whilst running the Spotify app using your desired
account. Please remember that both your smartphone or tablet and your radio need to be on the
same network for the overwriting to occur.
