Spotycast is a self-hosted Spotify to Icecast bridge that turns Spotify into a stable HTTP radio endpoint on your local network. If Spotify Connect keeps breaking on Volumio, moOde, LMS / Lyrion, Roon workflows or legacy Linux players, Spotycast gives your stack one simple stream URL to play.
When Spotify Connect breaks, your player is not always the real problem
On many Linux-based streamers, Spotify support works until it suddenly does not: devices stop appearing, playback fails, sessions become unstable, or a previously working setup breaks after an upstream change. Spotycast avoids that fragile layer by publishing Spotify playback as a standard HTTP / Icecast stream that your player can consume like a normal radio source.
Use Spotycast with the players you already own
Spotify with Roon
Add the resulting stream to Roon as a live radio URL and keep a stable Spotify path inside your listening setup.
Spotify with LMS / Lyrion
Publish a standard HTTP stream that LMS or Lyrion can handle like any other radio source on your network.
Spotify with Volumio, moOde and web radios
Reuse one stable stream URL on players that already support Icecast, HTTP audio feeds or radio endpoints.
Why use a Spotify to Icecast bridge?
The value is simple: instead of asking every endpoint in your stack to handle Spotify correctly, Spotycast creates one reliable stream endpoint that the rest of your audio system already knows how to play. That makes it especially useful on older Linux streamers, mixed networks, and Roon-adjacent setups where a standard radio URL is easier to keep stable than native Spotify support.
Audio quality and editions
The standard edition focuses on a robust day-to-day Spotify stream for local playback. Spotycast also offers a premium path for setups that want a more advanced HTTP audio workflow, including a lossless-oriented path where Spotify-side behavior makes it possible.
Stable Spotify stream for daily use
Focused on a straightforward Spotify to Icecast / HTTP endpoint for private LAN playback.
- Stable LAN radio endpoint
- Good fit for Roon, LMS, Volumio and similar players
- Fast installation path on Debian-based systems
Advanced stream path and extra convenience
For systems that want the cleanest available HTTP audio path and a smoother operational lifecycle.
- Lossless-oriented HTTP path where available
- Update / rollback support
- Premium key required
What Spotycast is not
Not an official Spotify client
Spotycast does not replace Spotify apps. It republishes playback as a network stream endpoint.
Not deep catalog integration
The receiving player treats Spotycast as a stream source rather than as a native Spotify library interface.
Not a public broadcast service
Spotycast is designed for private LAN playback and routing, not public redistribution over the internet.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use Spotify with Roon?
