Help getting Music Assistant working - I have a beta Futureproof Homes Satellite1

I’m helping test the new beta for the Satellite1 unit

which works great as a voice assistant, but I cannot get MA to work no matter what I try. I’ve installed the server 2024.12.0 and the integration seems to load ok.

I’ve configured Spotify and it loads all my media

I’ve configured the HA media player and select the Satellite1 as the output device

When I select a track, album or anything, the play button goes and stop’s immediately, choosing an album and each track flashes for a couple seconds but nothing plays.

The logs show lots of errors. Mostly the same error repeated.

I’ve uninstalled & reinstalled everything multiple times but get the same errors in the logs. I’ve also tried selecting a DNLA device for the output with the same result.

EDIT: Radio stations work with Tune-in Radio. Those all play fine on the Sat1, so it would appear to be a Spotify issue.

Anyone have any ideas?

Figured it out. Spotify on MA only works on PREMIUM plans, not free. RTFM led me to this clue.
