When I use spotify connect, battery is draining a lot.
I think that it due to music is reading on the phone and on the connected spotify device together : I hear music on the connected spotify device and on the speaker of my phone (very slow volume)
Spotify: 8.4.42.724
IPhone SE with IOS 11.2.6

Without lockscreen battery is no drain but it doesn't solved the problem.
If I connect spotify to a chromecast with lockscreen activated there are no battery drain. So I think that spotify-connect could work as fine as google cast but it doesn't.
