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.

Seeing that this has not gotten any attention since 2013 I doubt anything is going to change.

Why no chromecast? Did you sell out to be exclusive for some other technology available on the market? 

It's the only thing I can imagine for why you have not implemented chromecast for spotify yet. And it would be absurdly silly move.

I'm going to try Rdio in a few days since my subscriptions ends 26th of march, will maybe see you later Spotify.  😞

Hahaha still no answer from those spotify suckers, i'm unsuscribing from this thread, no use. Hey spotify slackers, you can as well delete my account. And go to hell 🙂

you are losing clients, day per day, month per month, and year per year just for a dumb protocole conflict issue ? You are better than that Spotify. Always prioritize the clients, always, because without them, you are nothing. You know what they said ? The customer is always right

I've been using the Spoticast app but it's just too buggy for me so it would be great to see Spotify implement this officially.

Esta caracteristica ya es algo muy necesario en Spotify, deben implementarlo porque otros servicios ya cuentan con la compatibilidad a chromecast y es desagraadable que Spotify mi servicio preferido aun no sea compatible.

Tried deezer and rdio, too bad their desktop apps are crap compared to Spotify's.

For my usage, awesome bug free desktop app outweighs the benefit of chromecast support   😕

So I'm sticking to spotify for a while longer, but please fetch a tractor and tow that wooden pole out of your asses and start adding proper chromecast support. You would be the best.
