The trick is that this SE/30 is simply a remote for Spotify Connect. The 68030 CPU just wasn’t fast enough to play audio, to say nothing of streaming it over a network connection. While the SE/30 supported an astonishing 128 Megabytes of RAM, it’s still just a bit too slow to play MP3s or any modern audio codec. You might be asking yourself how a computer from 1989 (it’s late enough in the year that we can safely say this computer is thirty years old) can possibly play music over the Internet. A case in point: here’s an SE/30 that’s a Spotify player. No, the SE/30 is so great because of how powerful it is, and how much it can be expanded. The Macintosh SE/30 is the greatest computer ever made, and I’m not saying that just because I’m sitting on a cache of them, slowly selling them to computer collectors around the world.
