Running spotifi with tablet

[pisces1 10]

hi i am wanting to connect a tablet to my existing exposure cd system. purpose to stream music through spotifi.

 

i dont want a laptop as that will be too bulky so opting for a tablet.

 

 

what tablet would be recommended ( i wont buy an ipad) and what connect would i need?

Any android tablet would be fine, just avoid the bottom of the range no name rubbish off eBay and the like.

 

Your best bet would be a Nexus.

 

Connector wise it's just a headphone jack out into whatever plugs into your stereo.

 

Probably one of these http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/230603931188?var=gv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&_lwgsi=y&cbt=y&device=t&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=65&ff19=0

As far as I'm aware you'll need to be a premium spotify subscriber to use it on a tablet. Don't think the free version is available on tablet. If you are a premium subscriber then ignore me.

yeh you deffo need premium for using on a tablet. And its not as good as when using on a laptop in my experience its not a very user friendly app imo.

On a laptop you can use the desktop app or use play.spotify.com to listen from a web browser. I just tried to access play.spotify.com from my Nexus and got a message about the website being in a redirect loop, so it looks like the website won't work on a tablet.

Actually if you request desktop site you can log in to play.spotify.com but then it tells you that you need to install flash, which you can't do on the Nexus.

I can't play Spotify on the iPad2 either. Tried it through the browser - no joy. Installed the app but it is subscription only and I don't use it enough to justify this.
