Spotify is an amazing music service that is growing in popularity, and can be used on a number of different devices. But if you want to listen to Spotify through your Smart TV, you might be having trouble. Fortunately you can cast Spotify to a TV with a Chromecast or Chromecast Audio which lets you play or cast Spotify from your tablet to a TV, speaker, or stereo. In addition, importing DRM-free Spotify music into your TV to enjoy would be also a great idea. Our guide below will show you the concrete steps of these two ways.

Connecting Spotify to TV with Chromecast or Chromecast Audio is a convenient way to play music out loud. Both types of devices will let you cast Spotify to TVs, speakers or stereo system using your phone or tablet as the remote. The following is the detailed steps to make it happen.

Step 1 For Chromecast: Insert your Chromecast into the HDMI port.

For Chromecast Audio: Insert your Chromecast Audio into a speaker’s 3.5mm or optical input port.

Google Play has more than 100 games for Chromecast, but if you’re a Nintendo fan, you can download CastNES, the NES emulator and enjoy a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Download the games to your mobile device and easily play them on your TV by using the device as a controller while you run the game on your TV. You can use a Chromecast with Spotify to turn your television into a personalised jukebox, with album art an even lyrics displayed on the screen. To cast your Spotify account to a Chromecast, you’ll just need to use Spotify’s “Devices” menu. Visit Business Insider’s homepage for more stories. If you’re using an external Chromecast or a device with a built-in Chromecast like the Nvidia Shield, make sure it’s plugged into your TV, turned on, and connected to the network. Open the desktop.

Note: Make sure your Chromecast or Chromecast Audio is configured using the Chromecast app on your tablet.

Step 2 Start the Spotify app on the same WiFi network as your Chromecast.

Step 3 Play music.

Step 4 Tap the Now Playing bar at the bottom of the screen and select DEVICES AVAILABLE.

Step 5 Select your Chromecast or Chromecast Audio from the devices listed.

Although two types of devices allow streaming Spotify music on TV, there is one important difference: You’ll need to be a premium subscriber to play music through your Chromecast or Chromecast Audio. So if you are the free users for Spotify who want to play Spotify music on smart TV, the second way is the best fit for you.

Spotify music files are protected by DRM, which is troublesome for people who would like to enjoy Spotify music on any device as they like. So if you want to stream Spotify music on TV, the most important thing you need to do is record Spotify music to get the DRM-free vrsion.
