Pi 3 and Spotify

Richard Pi

Dear All,

I have managed to get Runeaudio working on my new Rapberry Pi3. It sounds great when the Pi is connected to my external DAC via USB.
* are there any special settings necessary for the Pi3? It is now recognized as a Pi2

* Runeaudio also looks great on the Pi touch screen, although it is sometimes not very responsive. I will try to get the official power supply which hopefully will solve this problem.

* Strangely enough, I can not play any song from Spotify. I get connected and see my playlists, and I can select songs, but these do not play: on the playback sceen it shows that my queue remains empty. Can somebody help me?

Greetings, Richard

Hi Richard,

At the moment this is the normal behavior, because a 64bit version is not available yet see here.

Note: The current installation uses the 32-bit Raspberry Pi 2 armv7h root filesystem. This will be changing eventually to use our AArch64 repository to take full advantage of the ARMv8 Cortex-A53 cores. If you want an AArch64 system, consider the ODROID-C2.

I'm working on this, hope to get it fixed soon.

Did you add the song to your queue?
