'Why no Spotify for Apple TV? So I looked for the Spotify music app on Apple TV app store but it's not there! Why is Spotify ignoring apple tv? I know i can AirPlay from my Apple devices but I'd rather have standalone apple tv play Spotify.'
Apple TV is not a TV. It is palm-sized black plastic box that connects to your television set via an HDMI cable. Apple TV allows consumers to use an HDTV to stream video, music, and podcasts as well as downloading apps and games from the tvOS App Store. It comes with a simple three-button remote.
Spotify is one of the most popular streaming music services in the world. It can be used on a number of different devices. But if you want to listen to Spotify through your Apple TV so that you can use your home entertainment system, you might be having trouble.
Spotify stores over 40 million music on servers. If you have Spotify Premium, you can download any albums or playlists you want to listen offline. When you begin playing a streaming track from Spotify, Spotify starts to retrieve the track from its servers. Essentially, your computer becomes an equal player in one big network of many other computers running Spotify.
However, the offline songs are not equal to downloading. They are essentially a cached stream, and not individually stored songs. Besides, you are unable to play those songs without the Spotify client. What's more, it would not be possible to remove them, so that you can't move them outside of Spotify app.
For Spotify haven't released official Spotify app for tvOS App Store yet, so you can't listen to Spotify music through Apple TV directly. Fortunately you have come to the right place. Next we will show you how to play Spotify music on Apple TV with two different but equally effective methods.
Apple's AirPlay technology enables share audio content onto Apple TV used with Mac and iOS device, including an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. If you've installed Spotify on one of the above devices and Apple TV are on the same Wi-Fi network, you can use AirPlay to stream Spotify content to your Apple TV.
The short guide below will show you how to do using iPhone. Before started, make sure that you already have the Spotify app installed on your iPhone, and that you have set it up with your Spotify account.
1. Turn on your Apple TV and whatever speakers are connected to the device. And confirm that your Apple TV and your iPhone are connected to the same wireless network.
2. Launch the Spotify app on your iPhone. Browse to the song that you want to listen to, or open the song that is currently playing at the bottom of the window.
3. Touch the volume icon. Tap the AirPlay button the right of the volume bar and select your Apple TV. Then the selected Spotify music will be sent to the Apple TV.
Now you can play Spotify music through Apple TV. Just slowly turn up the volume on your television or audio system until it is at the desired level. After a minute, the track information and album cover will appear on Apple TV.
There's a feature in iTunes called Home Sharing that enables you easily share or transfer your iTunes media libraries (music, movies, TV shows, apps) among up to five computers in your household, as well as extend playback to your Apple TV on your home Wi-Fi network.
With Home Sharing turned on, you can listen to Spotify Music with your Apple TV on your TV screen. But the need to pay attention to is that Home Sharing can only access music from iTunes library on your desktop or laptop, which prevents you copying songs from Spotify to iTunes.
