Choose the Spotify bridge your audio stack deserves.
Spotycast turns Spotify playback into a stable Icecast / HTTP stream endpoint that Roon, LMS, Volumio, moOde, VLC and legacy Linux streamers can consume like a radio source.
Start free when you need a dependable Spotify-to-Icecast bridge. Upgrade to Premium when you want the advanced path, richer profiles, and a more lossless-oriented workflow for demanding network-audio systems.
Pricing
Choose the edition that matches your goal. Free is for restoring a stable Spotify endpoint. Premium is for users who want the more advanced audio path and a higher-end workflow.
Start here
Spotycast Free
The practical baseline: build a stable Spotify-to-Icecast endpoint and prove that your player stack can consume it reliably.
- ✓spotifyd-based Spotify Connect path
- ✓Standard lossy stream, up to 320 kbps where available
- ✓Icecast / HTTP endpoint for Roon, LMS, Volumio, moOde and VLC
- ✓Good for proof of concept, daily use and compatibility testing
- ✓No Premium installation key required
Advanced path
Spotycast Premium
The higher-end Spotycast path for users who want richer stream profiles, a more capable workflow, and a lossless-oriented Spotify setup where the upstream Spotify client makes it available. One lifetime license, one small upgrade for the audio stack you already own.
- ✓Advanced playback path based on the official Spotify Linux client
- ✓More lossless-oriented workflow when Spotify-side conditions allow it
- ✓Better fit for demanding Roon, Volumio, LMS and legacy streamer setups
- ✓Richer endpoint strategy and advanced stream profiles
- ✓Premium installation key and customer access
Which edition should you choose?
The decision is simple: choose Free to validate the endpoint model. Choose Premium when the endpoint model works for you and you want the most advanced Spotycast path.
| Need | Recommended edition | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Restore a stable Spotify endpoint for Roon, LMS, Volumio or moOde | Free | Free already gives you the core Spotify-to-Icecast bridge. |
| Validate your Docker, Debian, Icecast and player setup | Free | Start with the simplest path before changing the audio profile. |
| Use Volumio with a more lossless-oriented Spotify workflow | Premium | Premium moves the Spotify playback path upstream and lets Volumio consume a standard HTTP stream. |
| Run a higher-end Roon-adjacent or legacy streamer setup | Premium | Premium is designed for users who care about the advanced audio path and richer stream strategy. |
| Replace fragile native Spotify Connect behavior with a private LAN endpoint | Free or Premium | Both editions keep the same core idea: one reusable stream URL on your network. |
What happens after purchase?
Premium is designed to stay practical: you buy access, retrieve your Premium key, run the Premium installer, then complete the first-time Spotify client setup inside the container.
Before you buy Premium
Spotycast is built for technically comfortable users. You do not need to be a Linux expert, but you should be able to run a headless host, deploy a Docker container, and add a network stream URL to your player.
You need a host
A Debian VM, NAS, Proxmox container, mini PC or Linux server on your LAN.
You need Docker comfort
You should be able to deploy a container and run the installer commands described in the guide.
You need LAN access
Your player must be able to reach the Spotycast host and open the Icecast stream URL.
Where Spotycast fits
Spotycast is useful when your audio player can consume an HTTP stream, but native Spotify integration is broken, unsupported, unreliable or limited.
Roon
Add the Spotycast URL as a live radio source and keep Spotify outside Roon’s native catalog model.
Volumio
Use Volumio as the playback endpoint while Spotycast handles the Spotify-to-stream path upstream.
LMS / Lyrion
Use the Icecast endpoint like a network radio URL when Spotify Connect paths become unreliable.
moOde
Keep a legacy Linux player useful by feeding it a normal HTTP audio stream.
VLC / ffplay
Use direct playback tools as a clean diagnostic baseline before blaming your final player.
Legacy streamers
Reuse hardware that still plays HTTP streams even when native Spotify integration is gone or unreliable.
What Spotycast is not
Clear expectations create happier users. Spotycast is powerful because it is focused.
- It is not a public internet radio rebroadcast service.
- It is not a way to sell, share, or redistribute Spotify content publicly.
- It is not a native Spotify catalog browser inside Roon, Volumio or LMS.
- It does not bypass Spotify account requirements or regional availability.
- It does not turn a lossy source into true lossless audio.
- It does not remove the need for a Linux / Docker host on your LAN.
Buying questions
Should I try Free before Premium?
Yes. Free is the best way to validate your Docker host, network path, Icecast endpoint and final player before upgrading.
Does Premium guarantee Spotify Lossless everywhere?
No. Premium is a lossless-oriented path. The final result still depends on the upstream Spotify client, account, region and available playback quality.
Can I use Spotycast with Volumio?
Yes. Volumio can consume the Spotycast stream as a web radio or network stream URL, while Spotycast handles Spotify upstream.
Can I reinstall Premium?
Premium access depends on your installation key and customer access information. Keep your receipt and key private for future reinstall or support needs.
Bring back the radio endpoint your audio stack was missing.
Spotycast is for people who already have good players, good DACs, and a serious local network-audio setup. It gives that setup a simple thing Spotify integrations often fail to provide: one stable, reusable HTTP stream URL.
