Airport Express Not In Spotify Devices Menu

A week ago it was working fine. My Airport Express no longer shows in Available Devices. Neither on the Mac desktop Spotify app or my iPhone 6 app. I have deleted and re-installed the iPhone app and restarted the iPhone6. I did install new Airport Express and Airport Extreme firmware updates several days ago- possible culprit? When I goto the iOS Spotify, Settings, Devices Menu, all it shows is: LISTENING ON This iPhone. If I turn on my Marantz receiver, then it shows up as a Spotify Connect device. The Airport Express does work with my desktop iTunes and AirFoil.

 

iPhone6: iOS 10.2

iOS Spotify App: 6.8.0.3786

Airport Express version: 7.6.8

Hey y'all!

 

Thanks for your patience on this one.

 

The good news is we've now released a new update that should help fix this issue. If you update to the newest version (7.4) that should help.

 

If you do notice any further issues, try a quick reinstall of the app by following these steps. Should the issue then persist, feel free to post a new Ongoing Issue and we'll take a look into this further.

 

Thanks 🙂

Hey @julesann123!

 

This looks like a different issue than the one being discussed in this thread. Just to check, have you tried @olson's work around here.

 

Let us know how you get on 🙂 /I

Same hapening on the desktop app for me. It picks up my PS4 as an option but not my Aiport Express that is on latest FW. Reinstalled Spotify and nothing. My mac sees the AE just not Spotify anymore. VERY annoying as I use this feature all the time. Annoying to have to use systemwide streaming as then all notification sounds etc play VERY loudly through my delicate speakers. PLEASE FIX SOON!!!!!

Airport Express does not show on my laptop as being a device. In fact, nothing shows as a device. I can only click on "Connect a Device" which takes me to a different page. 

I can connect to my Airport Express from my iPhone and my iPad. I reinstalled Spotify on my desktop (OSX 10.13.2). No changes. I don't understand why I can't choose Spotify on my desktop and stream songs to Airport Express/Wifi speakers in another part of my house.

 Same problem here. I have 6 Airport Express devices all on the same network. My mac sees them in the system audio dropdown. Itunes on my mac sees them. I tunes on my PC sees them. Airfoil in my PC sees them. Spotify on Mac does not see a SINGLE Airport Express. Very annoying.
