Installation is pretty standard, and for the purpose of this guide, you don't need to change any of the PS3 Media Server settings.

And you only need the free Spotify account to do so, and it's all done using free software to boot! This is done by using the PS3 Media Server software, which allows you to listen to your Spotify output as a radio stream on the PS3. You will need to still set what to play on your PC (and playback control is only possible via the computer), but once set, you'll be able to listen to whatever is being played via Spotify on your PS3. Here's a handy trick that allows you to stream what's playing on your PC version of Spotify to your PS3 (and other DLNA playback devices, like the Xbox 360 or your Smart TV). Update: Spotify has now released an official app for the PS3, which means you no longer need to use the instructions on this page to get Spotify going on the PS3 (unless you want to control your PS3 Spotify listening on your PC).
