Streaming simultaneously on multiple devices within the same subscription.

My old setup consited of 3 Sonos zones, each able to listen to seperate music using the same subscription. I was however disappointed by the lack of features Sonos puts into its controllers so i switched to a receiver that supports Spotify Connect.

Now, when my receiver plays Spotify Connect in my livingroom and I go and listen to different music using Spotify for the Mac the receiver stops playing.

It is in no way clear to me what is, and what isn't allowed. I can understand you don't want me to share my subscription to all the neighbours but shouldn't this just be allowed as was the case with Sonos?

Also, why am I not able to use Spotift Connect from the Mac version of Spotify? Is this feature on any roadmap?

With Spotify subscriptions, one account equals one stream as a general rule (including with Spotify Connect, although there are mult-room Connect systems, not sure if they allow different tracks).

Sonos is the only exception as they have some weird multi-room deal with Spotify.

actually thats not solved, I want a feature to play one song on different gadgets at the same time.

Hi,

is this possible? I'd like to play my Playlists on different devices (Playstation in Living-Room, Sonos in the Kitchen, PC, etc.).

The Song I'm listening to at the moment should be able to be played at all these devices at the same time - since I don't have a Sonos Speaker in every room.

So is this possible or will it eventually be possible some day?

Thanks in advance.

Greetings

why can i watch netflix on 10 devices at once for 15$ but not spotify?

Because Spotify do not want that users share subscriptions if they do not live at the same place.
