Spotify Connect works with spotiamp only?

I can only use spotify connect feature with spotiamp release (0.2) on my laptop . Not able to connect to spotify desktop app though. Any solution? Thanks.

Hey there @sfakianakis, welcome to the community!

Spotify Connect hasn't been added to the desktop client yet. Developers are working hard to get it on there as soon as they can! 🙂

Hi thanks, I understand that 'connect' isn't out for desktop yet but I meant to say that 'connect' for my android client recognizes spotiamp on desktop and plays beautifully 🙂 . How come it is not implemented for spotify desktop. Seems odd.

Ah! Spotify hasn't really said why it isn't available yet other than they are working on adding it.

I find that pretty bizarre myself, bearing in mind that spotiamp was developed by spotify. Maybe they're using it to test connect on desktop - it's certainly not a full implementation and one-way only so far.
