So you can choose to stream to a Chromecast audio from mobile devices (not desktop atm, but once initiated from mobile appyou can control from desktop just as you can with regular Spotify Connect) and playback will be taken over by the chromecast audio. If you switch to your current device it picks up exactly where it was at on the other device.Īlso Spotify supports Chromecast Audio- a device you can plug into 'dumb' hifis to turn them into smart Sonos like devices. When you open spotify on one device/computer while it's playing already on another, it'll ask if you want to start playing on your current device or continue on the other device, etc. But you can still control the playback from the other devices not actually playing the music- skip, pause etc. It will see the other computers/devices on your network that have Spotify with you signed in, and you can pick one to play on.
Hopefully if they are, this is in the pipeline.Ĭlick to expand.Yep just to confirm, that's what Spotify has. If that's true then I can't imagine Apple would hold back on adding this for very long, I mean Spotify is their main competitor and that's a pretty major feature that they have and Apple doesn't.ĭidn't one of the execs say, after the recent iTunes "redesign" that even bigger changes would come to iTunes next year or something? I could be wrong but I thought I remembered reading that. From what I've read here it sounds like Spotify has this, or something like it. And for playback for things like Apple Music to be handled by the cloud so it doesn't drain the battery of the original sending device.
#Itunes remote control Bluetooth
So if I start playing music to AirPlay speakers or Bluetooth speakers from my iPad, I can then see what's playing and where it's playing from my other devices, and then pause/skip/like/whatever from my iPhone or Mac. I'm not really familiar with Spotify at all, but I've always wanted there to be some way to have like, a universal Now Playing option across devices. Spotify took forever to implement remote control of Spotify running on a computer (they announced it was coming a long, long time before it ever made it to the platform), so I get the feeling that it would require more work on Apple's end to get to that point. iOS can already stream to multiple Airplay devices with WHAALE. I would love both options, but the ability to play to multiple Airplay devices from iOS would require almost no work on Apple's part. However, that would be a secondary concern since it requires a computer (or another iOS device) to be on and ready to play. There are third party apps like WHAALE on iOS, but it is very limited compared to the services that Airplay supports.ĭon't get me wrong, I would like to also be able to control the app running on a computer from the iOS app running on iOS. The issue is that there is no way to get audio directly from Apple Music on iOS to multiple Airplay devices without putting a computer between the iOS device and Airplay device. It is rock solid from iOS to Airplay device already. Click to expand.I don't have issues with losing my connection.
