Spotify to Icecast bridge

Turn Spotify into a stable Icecast / HTTP stream for Roon, LMS and network players

Spotycast is a self-hosted Spotify to Icecast bridge that creates a stable HTTP radio endpoint on your local network. Use Spotify with Roon, LMS / Lyrion, Volumio and other players that accept a radio URL or standard web stream.

Spotify to Icecast: a stable radio endpoint for your audio stack

Spotycast republishes Spotify playback as a standard HTTP / Icecast stream. Instead of depending on native Spotify support on every endpoint, you expose a predictable radio URL that existing players can already consume. For a concise overview of the core concept, see the Spotify to Icecast bridge guide.

Best fit for mixed or legacy playback stacks where you want one stable LAN endpoint rather than multiple fragile integrations.

Use Spotycast with your existing players

Spotify with Roon

Use Spotycast as the bridge and add the resulting stream to Roon as a live radio URL.

Spotify with LMS / Lyrion

Publish a standard HTTP stream that LMS or Lyrion can handle like any other radio source.

Spotify with Volumio and web radios

Expose one reusable stream URL for players that already support Icecast or HTTP audio feeds.

Why use a Spotify to Icecast bridge?

In many real-world systems, the weak point is not the DAC or renderer but the missing radio-style endpoint you can route anywhere. Spotycast restores that missing layer by publishing Spotify playback to Icecast, so your stack always has one stable URL to consume.

Audio quality and editions

The standard path is designed for reliability and day-to-day listening through Spotify Connect compatible tooling. Spotycast also offers a premium path focused on FLAC over HTTP and operational convenience where Spotify client behavior and regional availability make that path possible.

Lossless availability is not universal and depends on Spotify-side behavior. For details, see Spotycast Premium.

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 library integration

The receiving player treats Spotycast as a stream source rather than as a native Spotify catalog integration.

Not a public broadcast platform

Designed for private LAN playback and routing, not public redistribution over the internet.
