Spotify has millions of
users worldwide, and with its latest upgrade, it might be able to increase its
user base. This application is perfect for people who want music on the go,
especially for people with smartphones. Launched in the year 2008, this app provides
access to over 60 million songs and other freemium services. Users can search
for artists, albums, genres, even songs for the mood they’re in along with
editing, creating, and sharing playlists.
With the technological advancements since 2008, this application
is not just limited to a smartphone anymore. It is available to download on
almost every smart device whether it’s a TV or a Desktop. Even though it
had been made available on desktops, it lacked the feature of Chromecast or
‘Spotify Connect’ until the recent upgrade. In other words, you couldn’t use
your app as a remote if you were a desktop user, at least not with the Windows
or macOS. This attracted a lot of criticism from everyday users of the
application. With other music streaming apps out there offering the said
service, Spotify decided to up their game by introducing their latest update.
This update has fixed the shortcoming, which will now allow
users to stream music from their desktops by connecting their application to
various Google devices or ‘Spotify Connect’ enabled devices. So, let’s get down
to business and see how you can do this with ease.
Follow These Simple Steps to
Connect Your Device to Spotify
The first step is to install the update (Obviously!). You will
either be prompted to download it when you open the app. If not, you can do
that by visiting the official website of Spotify. The next thing that you’ll
need to do is turn your television on. Make sure your device supports the
application. You can do this by visiting the app store on your TV and searching
for the app. If it does not, don’t worry! You can upgrade by adding a soundbar
system that supports ‘Spotify Connect’. Another thing that you’ll need to make
sure is that all the devices you plan on connecting are connected to the same
Wi-fi network.
Now that you’re all set in the technicality department, open the
application on your Desktop. Next to the volume button, you should be able to
spot the ‘Device Available’ option. Clicking on it will show you a list of
available devices that Spotify can be cast on. Select the device you want to
cast it on (e.g., your television or your speakers). It might take a few
seconds to connect, and when it does, you’re good to go!
