Hi,
Please advise how to play spotify lossless via Spotty app that I have signed up and showing on my Android Spotify app or it is not supported via Spotty which will be shame since I only know of using Spotty after reading this forum.
Trouble is that while I signed in successfully with my credential, I see only max 320kbps per attached screenshot.
Thanks in advance.
Richard
Both ex and cx are on AMSv5.0.1
1st screenshot on Myantipodes showing 320kbps which does not surprised me since dropdown menu selected at max 320kbps while my phone via android spotify app shows lossless which is not 320kbps 
PS: Same and one spotify account
Question about 3rd party software are often best answered on the 3rd party forums or by the developers themselves.
Tks and appreciates the usual quick and useful advice Kenny !
Hi Kenny,
Make sense but admittedly did not even know if spotty plugin is from Antipodes or not but now I know. Glad also to see that developer is still active from your sharing as I googled and thought that it is old and not longer supported.
Good news that what you had shared indicate Spotty developer had responded positively that it is only not supported as lossless Spotify had not reached him and that he is not saying that it will not be done.
I will proceed to end yrly aud200 individual Qobuz subscription that expires end Oct 2025 and proceed with family plan at sgd20 spotify premium for lossless to be shared with my 3 children and dotter in law. Higher bitrate/quality of Qobuz but limited Chinese, Cantonese for me and especially Korean listing that my children enjoy and 2 of them can also end their individual subscriptions for one more of such family bonds of netflix, disney+ and various android apps.
Await spotty lossless and Antipodes to update into corresponding AMS then.
Thanks again for the teaching
Oops … for those interested but not exactly the latest news I had hope for but yearly Qobuz subscription has to go while I still enjoy much much more listening time daily of spotify lossless chinese and cantonese music in addition to English ones in my car with a top end audio system worth >2x oladra

Just hope AMS will get updated quickly with lossless spotty app when available if at all. 
The plugins page shows the name of the developer:
Note that none of the plugins list Antipodes as the developer.
Scroll down on the plugins page and make sure the following is checked. Plugins get pushed out automatically if this is enabled.
Hi Kenny,
Thanks and had selected automatic update on plugin page.
I also looked at software update page when doing so and noted LMS has a new version … any concern to download and install to the usual latest and greatest ?
Thanks again in advance and cheers.

Interestingly, it shows Spotify connect as a player option in the user guide, it must have been available previous to AMSV5? I don’t remember as I wasn’t looking for Spotify back with AMSV4.
Is Spotify connect in the plans along with Qobuz connect @MarkCole ?
We can’t install that.
Hi Kenny,
Oops … did not tried to and thanks again
Is there now an option to select CD quality for Spotify in Squeeze? Currently, the maximum bitrate is 320 KB/s. On the mobile apps, you can now select FLAC 24/44.
The Spotty plug-in is developed and managed by a third party, and their access to the API’s.
Currently, 320 is what is available.
Hi all — following the recent discussions around Spotify playback quality and the current limitations of Spotty / Spotify Connect, I wanted to share a workaround that may be useful to some users.
Like others here, I’ve also run into the practical ceiling around Spotify playback (typically around 320 kbps with Spotty/librespot), even when Spotify advertises higher-quality tiers. Rather than trying to patch or replace AMS, LMS, or Roon integrations, my goal was simply to reuse the existing DAC and analog chain for Spotify playback without adding extra hardware.
The approach I’m using is deliberately external and non-invasive:
Control remains entirely in the Spotify app via Connect, while playback stays predictable on the Antipodes side.
Just to add some context (and without any drama): over the past months, Spotify Connect via Spotty has been somewhat fragile. Several users on the Lyrion/LMS forum have reported breakages or intermittent authentication issues following changes on Spotify’s side, with fixes often requiring re-authorization, plugin updates, or temporary workarounds.
From what I can see, Spotty itself isn’t “dead”, but Spotify Connect appears to be the most sensitive part of the stack whenever Spotify updates their backend. That uncertainty was one of the reasons I started looking at an external, containerized approach — not as a replacement for Spotty, but as a way to keep Spotify playback usable and predictable when Connect integration becomes unstable.
In other words, this is less about doing something “better” than existing plugins, and more about having a boring fallback that continues to work when upstream changes happen.
I documented the setup and provide a ready-to-run Docker install here, for reference:
