Spotify Connect is Spotify’s own solution for streaming music to speakers and receivers. Historically, Spotify have had clients on different platforms like Sonos, Squeezebox, Boxee, Onkyo and more. This has lead to an almost uncontrollable Spotify experience that is far from stringent for the end user. Which has lead Spotify to develop their own universal experience, Spotify Connect.
Devices with Spotify Connect are controlled with Spotify’s native app on Android and iOS. You can also control them from Spotify on a Computer. The device has a built in player that simply plays the music it is told by the controller, by steaming it directly from Spotify.
Spotify Connect works over Wi-Fi. When you have compatible speakers, TVs, streaming sticks or other devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the phone, tablet or computer you're running the Spotify app on, Spotify Connect streams music directly to that device rather than your phone or laptop. While for the Spotify desktop app you will need to be a premium member to use Spotify Connect with other devices. Unlike computers and laptops, in all other devices such as Smart TVs, Smart Speakers, Game Console, Google Chromecast, you need to be connected to the same WiFi network to make Spotify Connect work. Spotify connect app key; cancel. Turn on suggestions. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. Copy (alternative link) Ctrl-Alt-C.
Spotify Connect is built in speakers as well as receivers. Android and iOS devices can also act as Spotify Connect devices. So an iPad connected to a speaker can be remoted from another smartphone to play Spotify music through Spotify Connect. The same goes for a computer that has Spotify on it and is attached to speakers.
If you want to group your speakers and play the same music on them simultaneously, you have to buy the same brand of speakers. And be sure that the brand has support for grouping in an own app. This is a downside compared to Chromecast Audio where you can group speakers of different brand in groups in the Google Home App. AirPlay 2 also has the ability to group speakers of different brands. So this is something Spotify should implement in the future to keep up with the competition.
