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.

Cancelled subscription today. Using play unlimited instead. I intend to switch back if this feature is ever added (seems unlikely).

I really like spotify's discover feature, the selection is better than play too, buy no side loading or library management make things a toss, with the better artist and album info tipping towards spotify.

I guess what I'm saying is there's a narrow window of time before I am used to the play unlimited service, and it will be too much of a pain for me to migrate back.

The most disappointing part of receiving the Chromecast from a friend for my birthday was realising I couldn't stream Spotify to it. Please, please make this a feature. I really do not want to switch to Google Play for music, but being able to push the music to my living room system is a must.

Love spotify, but hate no push. It is necessary. Make it happen or will lose people to inferior products.

Please add support soon, all your competitors are now basiclly supporting chromecast.

Looks like spotify doesn't pay much attention to the forum members. Only time they responded here was when I accused them of not caring about their paying customers on twitter: @spotify_cares. I'm gone already as they do not care,really.

And there go any chances of me re-joining spotify 😐

Chromecast support please.

No update from Spotify.. disappointing you won't support such a basic feature, or at least discuss it. Google Music now has my money instead!

Bought two chrome casts the day they arrived in the uk. Been a premium subscriber since the beginning but if you're not going to bother supporting it then I'll have to go elsewhere.
