In this version, you can simply use the usual “devices available” menu to see available Chromecast devices. The news comes via Spotify Rock Star MattSuda - as they note, you’ll find the feature in desktop app version 1.1.38. You’ve long been able to control Chromecast streams that were initiated from the iOS and Android apps (via Spotify Connect), but now you can initiate those streams directly from your Windows or Mac desktop. In the App tray, right click on the Spotify icon and select “Open as window”.After many, many years, you can now initiate a Chromecast stream from the Spotify app for desktop. One side note: to open Spotify in its our Chrome-less windows in Chrome OS. Limited beta is still enforce in other Spotify countries.ĭuring the limited beta stage, I asked the Spotify developers to release the Web Player into the Chrome Web Store to provide Chrome OS functionality and improve market visibility of the app. Subsequently this week, the developers have listened to my idea and the app has been made available in the Chrome Web Store:
This week, Spotify has formally released the Web Player as an open beta, though it is currently limited to UK users. It will not replace Spotify’s desktop client. As well as provide easy access to Spotify while at work or around a friend’s house. The idea is to support growing trends into HTML5, such as Windows 8 and Chrome OS. It provides similar functionality as the desktop client, including search, Spotify Radio, playlist editing and creation, and a “What’s New” section. It has been Spotify’s most requested feature, and late last year Spotify released the Web Player to a limited set of users. Spotify has been limited to a deskop client and mobile apps. Many competitors in streaming music, like Rdio and MOG, all have web players for their user’s to access their music libraries. This week sees the start of the open beta, and the subsequent release into the Chrome Web Store. Late last year, Spotify released their Web Player into limited beta. This news post has been updated!
