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.
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.

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.
