+=== Spotify ===
+==== Skill ====
+Install the regular Spotify skill from the skill marketplace (or get it from [https://github.com/forslund/spotify-skill])
+==== raspotify ====
+To have a local spotify device on the Mark II install raspotify
+* sudo apt-get install raspotify
+==== make raspotify use pulseaudio ====
+raspotify can not use pulseaudio by default as it does not have a pulseaudio audio device module. To make it work with pulseaudio it has to be run as a user service and not a system service.
+See [https://github.com/dtcooper/raspotify/issues/78] for details.
+Disable the system service:
+* sudo systemctl disable raspotify
+Create a user service file:
+* nano ~/.config/systemd/user/myraspotify.service
