April Snow Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 I can cast Spotify Free via my Samsung TV with Google Chromecast attached to the TV. Also handy if you want to use other services such as You Tube, Catch up TV etc. Spotify on the TV will show you all the artwork and extra details as well as playback of the music of course. If this is what you need?

If this is what you need? Thanks, but you'd to need to have the TV on Spotify to do this? if so that's not what I need. I would like to bring Spotify free up on my computer, and cast it via wifi to my Sangean WF-T1Di DAB/FM tuner which has wifi in my stereo room system Cheers George

I have my TV connected to my Amp though. Not sure about streaming to a stand alone Tuner. You may need the Chromecast AUDIO to do that one. If you had Spotify app already on your TV (Samsung has it) then you can just sign in with that with no need for anything else. Edited June 10, 2022 by April Snow
georgehifi Posted June 10, 2022 Author Posted June 10, 2022 Yes a few months ago my Spotify Free on my Win 10 pro desktop computer had a cast button down in the lower right corner, but that now has disappeared. Cheers George

You just don't get it, I don't want to listen to compressed streamed music, it's just for sampling purpose to find 70'80'90' Rock, Jazz, Blues, and Classical stuff that I've never heard, then if I like the sample cuts, I'll use https://dr.loudness-war.info/ and pay for the first uncompressed issue CD or vinyl thanks. I'll let you and your mates listen to the compressed streamed later re-issue/re-master/louder versions and pay for it. Edited June 10, 2022 by georgehifi

You tight arse bugger - pay for it or stop moaning. I can give you one of my family spots for $15 per month I only listen to Spotify in the car, where it's really good. I also don't mind paying for it so the artists get some $$. Otherwise I will listen to any of my 6500 odd vinyl albums which is growing and growing as there is too much great music and not enough time to listen to it all All my mates listen to uncompressed vinyl, not pos cd's. I have even brought Alan back to the darkside - u know Alan if your memory is failing you Edited June 10, 2022 by metal beat

georgehifi Posted June 10, 2022 Author Posted June 10, 2022 Like I said, "a few months ago my Spotify Free on my Win 10 pro desktop computer had a cast button down in the lower right corner, but that now has disappeared." Does anyone know why? Maybe it happened when it updated to the latest version?? Cheers George

So that's why it isn't showing up in your Spotify app as a 'Spot Connect' device. https://sg.sangean.com.tw/products/product.asp?mid=145

rand129678 Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 What if you use Spotify web player on Chrome browser and then cast from Chrome browser to your Chromecast Audio? Can you give that a crack. Not using the Spotify Windows app, but instead the Chrome web browser. Login to Spotfiy web player 1
georgehifi Posted June 13, 2022 Author Posted June 13, 2022 Quote What if you use Spotify web player on Chrome browser and then cast from Chrome browser to your Chromecast Audio? YES!!! Yes!!!! Thanks very much, that was all to easy, I didn't know Google Chrome had a Spotify player app for desktops. Now I can sample music that I haven't heard and buy the best used non compressed cd release of it on https://dr.loudness-war.info/ Thanks again. Cheers George 1
