If you have issues with any of this, there are tons of Raspberry Pi Tutorials on this website that can help. I would assume you are familiar with setting up the Raspberry Pi with the Raspbian stretch OS, and you know how to SSH into the Raspberry Pi using a terminal software like putty or connect the Pi to a Monitor via HDMI to boot the Raspbian Stretch desktop. This guide is based on the Raspberry Pi 3 running the Raspbian Stretch OS. More details on Mopidy has been discussed in the previous article. After installing Mopidy, we will install Spotify extension on Raspberry pi to stream songs from Spotify.

Here we will pick one of them and install it on Raspberry Pi.
In previous article, we covered various Music streaming softwares which can be installed on Raspberry Pi.
