Add support for Google ChromeCast

[Arjen82]

Will you be adding support to the ChromeCast that Google announced today? Would be great to be able to easily stream music from all my devices to my receiver and tv.

Please see the Api information here: https://developers.google.com/cast/

Update: implementing ChromeCast is superior to using the Chrome browser plugin to move a tab with the Spotify web interface to your TV for multiple reasons. Most importantly:

 - You can stream higher fidelity

 - You can stream from every device, not only from a computer/laptop

 - You can control from multiple devices (so if I leave the room my wife can control Spotify with her phone)

If implemented correctly this would match the functionality of Sonos for a much lower price.

Update February 4th 2014: Okay, so Google has released the SDK now. Please start working on the functionality or at the very minimum give an update to the status...

Update February 19th 2014: 2,000 kudos, hundreds of replies (with more than a handful of cancelations). Apparently Spotify Germany has confirmed Chromecast support is coming. An update would be nice

Update March 24th 2014: 2,500 kudos and still no update. Cancelled my subscription today. Sorry, but if you don't listen to your paying customers we will have to speak with our wallets.

Spotify is much better than Pandora or Rdio (both are coming to chromecast), so unless Spotify makes an app for it, i'll be forced to use Pandora more often. 😕

I hope the Spotify team will issue an official response to this issue. I recieved my chromecast today and I am currently on the Google Music all access free trial until spotify adds functionality for this. If not, I may not cancel my trial of Google Music and delete my spotify account.

If this feature could get pushed out, it would keep spotify at the top of internet radio. I think that we all here pay for spotify to have the best selction, quality, and features. If thats no longer the case, I will find myself (and many others) switching to Google Play Music. This message is by no means is a threat to Spotify managment, I just want to point out that once at the top of internet radio, it's the easiest place to fall behind because of so many compeditors trying to reach the same standard. Google Play Music is cutting the line between the two extremely close! I hope this message and all the others can make a movement to ensure this feature.

Go SPOTIFYYY 😄

Spotify needs to add this feature! pandora is already in the process of adding it!

[maxxar]

Agree, add as soon as possible!

Agreed. Spotify is missing the TV/entertainment services by not supporting XBOX or google TV solutions. Ordered a Chromecast and hoping the web player will 'cast' to the TV, but actual integration would be immensely better.

Thanks!

I really want to see spotify add this to their app. its not that hard since all you have to do is add the sdk to your app. Spotify get this before you competitor rdio does.
