Pioneer Electronics announced a new line of AV DVD receivers, that now offer Spotify and support FLAC file playback.
Spotify is a built-in source in all but two of the new units, joining Pandora. Listeners can control Spotify from the radio via a Bluetooth for Android phones and Bluetooth/USB cable for the iPhone.
The line also now offers presets for Pandora stations.
