You may not be aware of Boxee, but you should be; it’s one of the best media streaming devices around. Now it’s added another string to its bow, as Spotify has come to the platform, ready to stream music to your Boxee box.
The app is available as a free download for Spotify Premium members. Can’t see it? If you sign out and sign back into your Boxee account it should be available. Interestingly though, all you can do on the app is play songs from your playlists. No searching, no editing.
Boxee’s reason for this is a bit of an odd one. This is from VP of Marketing Andrew Kippen: “There’s bound to be people who aren’t as happy that you can’t edit playlists or do searches on the app. But, we really wanted to train them to realize that they shouldn’t be doing that stuff on their TV anyways.” Patronising?
