# I can't find Spotify or Spotify doesn't play. What should I do?



Spotify works through Spotify Connect: you play music from the Spotify app on your phone or computer and select your Volumio device as the output. It doesn't appear among the sources like TIDAL and Qobuz.

### How to use Spotify

1.  In Volumio, go to `Plugins`, search for Spotify, install it and enable it.
    
2.  Open the Spotify app, start a track, tap the devices icon and select your Volumio device.
    

### If Spotify doesn't play

1.  Uninstall the Spotify plugin from `Plugins`.
    
2.  Restart the device from `Settings` → `System`.
    
3.  Install the Spotify plugin again and restart the device once more.
    
4.  Check for system updates from `Settings` → `System` → `Check Updates`.
    

> **Warning:** Make sure your phone and your Volumio device are on the same network.
