Just got my android devices and my Windows PC updated today expecting some Spotify Connect goodness. Alas not one of my two android devices nor the PC seem to be able to find each other. I was under the impression that Spotify Connect would allow me to handoff playback between all three? They're all on the same WiFi network and the PC has both the android devices listed in the Devices list.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@ Niksac: no,doesn't have it (maybe Chromecast, but it works only with the dedicated hardware and not between the devices), But tired to wait Spotify to releasing something that I really need (landscape in IOS is another one), I was willing to try something different... Google Play has some nice features that are still missing in spotify (like organize the music in Artists, Albums and songs and not only as playlist). But to be honest is not comparable yet (I like Spotify more)
@sonnenbs33: I don't have any Connect ready Hardware. It was already working in my ios devices and suddenly appeared also on android ones..
No updates of software made, no new installation. I just started Spotify as usual and was there. I guess is just matter to have it activated in the premium account.
@Darcy: maybe I activated Google play music free trial yesterday evening, can be this the magic word? 🙂 🙂 🙂

If I undersootd right that you CAN'T control windows spotify with spotify connect? I can see the spotify speaker icon on my android device but when connected to my home wifi it doesn't regognize my pc as a playable device. Every other similar software works fine (ie. plex).

I Y Plex 🙂
Not to be negative or anything but this is like the most basic thing you "should" advertize as "connect" feature. I'm kind of disaddpointed and not to sound even more negative it's business as usuall with spotify software developement 😞
I think adding the post above as a solution "just not possible" makes a perfect example....
DLNA which Plex uses and Connect are totally different. Spotify did indicate that Connect for desktops wouldn't come until after it had been rolled out to all android and iOS users.
Does Connect become enabled per account or per device during gradual rollout? It appeared for me finally today, but only on my iPad, none of my Android devices have it and the iPad's Connect interface doesn't list any devices.
All of my Spotify apps on all devices are fully updated, all the devices are on the same wifi network and all are visible in the desktop client. One of the Android devices is my old phone, so I wiped the data of the Spotify app there, restarted the app, logged in again, but that also didn't do anything. Obviously the devices are all in online mode and no airplane mode is active anywhere, etc. They all play music just fine (obviously interrupting each other). What gives?
To further test it, I restarted both the iPad and my primary Android phone and also set up wifi hotspot on the phone and connected to it with the iPad - both devices played fine, but still couldn't see each other with Connect.
Please don't tell me Connect doesn't work between iOS and Android... That would be completely ridiculous.
Hi. Connect does work between iOS and android so no need to panic. I thought rollout was by account but it seems, from your experiences and those of others that it is in fact by device. Hopefully you won't have much longer to wait.
Collection is in beta but Connect is rolling out to all.

For me the volume slider works in two scenarios
1. On the device which currenlty is playing, iphone or android
2. If the stream is played on a "connect device" such as my Pioneer AV-receiver.
So when the stream is transferred from my Android phone to my Android tablet, the volume slider disappears from the phone and is only available on the tablet
I have two Android devices with Spotify 7.6.343 running on both.. Neither shows the Spotify Connect ability. Wasn't this launched several months ago? Am I really supposed to just wait here for a rollout that will come at some unknown time?
I think this is covered on the forum, but I think it needs to be enabled by a Spotify Connect device, e.g. a receiver, internetradio or similar. When connected to such compatible device, Spotify Connect will be enabled, and then it is enabled without the use of such device, so it can be used between two mobile devices for instance
