Hi all,

Windows 10 PC connected over Lan.
My Question or Issue
I was looking for a way to cast directly from the Windows 10 Spotify app to my Chrome cast (I know all the workarounds. More in the end). I found this old forum post and I was wondering is this is still accurate?
8/29/19
"I recently contacted Spotify support to raise this issue and got the following response
"This is on Google's end as they haven't implemented any integration with Windows directly. All chrome cast sessions on Windows, need to be started from Chrome because of this.
We suggest that you contact Google in regards to this for further help."
I can't find anything that hints that Google (or Spotify) is working on this feature.
@All: has anyone found a solution that allows the W10 Spotify app cast directly?
@Spotify: do you have an ongoing request for this feature where us users can at our voice to?
Kind regards,
Koen.
PS: the reason I'm asking this is because my main usage is casting from my PC and Android phone. To be frank the casting user experience is mediocre at best:
-using the W10 app simultaneous with the Android app un-checks the "repeat track" at random.
-Casting connection from my phone is unstable because Android sees it as battery and background abuser that needs to be terminated (Netflix and Youtube also have this problems).
-Spotify removed the option to shuffle ALL SONGS
-the 'mechanical' volume control buttons when casting stop working at if you have multiple apps in the background.
What I'm actually asking is if Spotify is working on improving casting or should I just go back to torrenting and use my media server? I can't really justify the ~€ 10,- a month for something that annoys way to often/much.
Solved! Go to Solution.
