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 caught my attention after the partnership with Sony for Playstation devices was announced. I was surprised when i considered canceling my premium+ Deezer account to pay for the premium Spotify service and figured out it didn't have Chromcast support. 

When i found this comunity request supported by almost 9k users (considering only who tried searching for a Spotify answer about it), it got clear that you don't listen to customers or don't care at all.

Sorry Spotify, even your partnership with Sony can't compete with a $35 device i can take wherever i want to listen to my paid music service.

Nearly 2 Years and no update from spotify.

To Spotify if you need some help with roadmapping and user engagement and I would be happy to send you my CV?

Why is this still an issue? Please, please, please add support.

I just found out that Spotify included support for Amazon Fire TV. I literaly feel offended.

Actually they have already have google cast included in their software. So
adding the chromecast would painless for them. If they don't do it it's for
other reason but obviously not in the interest of the paying customer.

Hi Spotify,

You should really pay attention to your users.

Now that Apple Music is live, having support to 3rd parties like Chromecast would be a good differentiator from the apple solution.

Deezer already implemented chromecast support more than a year ago.

come on, you can do it !

I can only imagine that Spotify doesn't want to upset the applecart with their Sonos partnership which is ridiculous, Sonos need Spotify more so than the other way round, if this is the case grow some balls and simply implement Chromecast Support, in fact while you are at it maybe support Airplay - oh wait you already do which is hilarious that you won't support another product such as Chromecast.

The sheet lack of feedback or comments from Spotify on this thread (200+ pages now) is quite shocking!
