I assume this is the HEOS speaker by Denon?  If so, it should work with a variety of sources including music stored on the tablet not just Spotify Premium.  The only issue is it looks like that tablet by default only has 8GB of storage so if you want to go this route you'll need to buy a micro SD card for the tablet, 32GB storage would be under a tenner although if you have a particularly large music collection or you'd like store videos on the tablet as well a 64GB card is only around £15.

thanks for that esp about the micro card.  In idiot form please, how do you save to your tablet and not the spotify library and where do we get the music from in order to save it   Cheers  my hero  :003:

Do you have an existing mp3 collection on your PC or is your only music source Spotify?

do not have a mp3 collection( dont know what one is). as for music source spotify is the only one we know about, We can access others via play shop if one was recommended.  We are on a 30 day spotify premium trial so plenty of time to experiment
