our founders Spotify but you want to play it on your stereo and not just on your phone sure you can use a Bluetooth adapter but the sound quality stinks and if you walk out of the room with your phone the music stops the best way to stream Spotify to another device is with Spotify connect Spotify Connect works similarly to Apple airplay and that it initiates Wi-Fi connections between compatible devices but instead of using local music it streams from the net and you could even switch off the host device completely and the music keeps playing Spotify Connect currently works with PC Mac iOS Android and up to 100 certified audio products but the easiest way to use it with a stereo system is either to connect up an old PC or buy a $50 dongle with an audio output such as the rocky play or gramophone if you're using a smartphone app this is how it works so here we are on the main screen of Spotify just go to my music the last thing I've played so what you want to do is get the main screen coming up the playback screen which you can get coming up this way what you're looking for for Spotify Connect is this little icon down here it's basically a speaker with a circle around it that is your Spotify connect icon you press that and it brings up all of the devices on the network and also on the internet that you're logged into for example this morass receiver this coming up here is actually at home so basically if you want to play back any of these just click on the device and a place to it the problem is that you can only play to one device at once and that's basically Spotify connects very easy to use and it's very similar experience on the desktop as well what you're looking for is that little icon in the bottom right hand corner to just circle around the speaker and that's basically all there is to it so that's how to use Spotify Connect I'm ty Pendlebury and for more videos like this one go to how-to cnet.com
