Which ports do I have to open?
Do I have to open any ports in my router to help Spotify?
I love the whole idea of it, and I'm happy to help other users by sharing some of my upload bandwith.. I just want to know the portnumbers (or range), and if it's UDP or TCP, that's enough info.

Inappropriate?Hello.
On my machine it seems to always (or so far anyway) use port 34516 however I expect this won't be the case on all machines.
You can find out fairly easily which port your client is listening on.
Simply by following the steps below (for windows):
1. press Win+R to open the run dialog box.
2. enter 'cmd' and click ok.
3. now type in 'netstat -ab' and press return/enter
4. search for an instance of the text spotify.exe
5. check that the local address starts with 0.0.0.0:
6. take the value after the colon.
Note: You may have many lines that mention spotify.exe so make sure you get the line that has the local address as stated above.
For example here on my system:

You can also see on the top left of my screenshot it is TCP.
If you are running on linux I can again post the instructions for you just let me know... but mac your on your own... sorry.
Regards, Jonathan.
I’m happy
