Google is rolling out Spotify Connect support to the Android media switcher to improve cross-device experience. Spotify Connect devices will appear next to Bluetooth headphones and speakers, as well as Cast devices.

Spotify users don’t need to open the app screen to select a playback device. Google puts the problem this way: “selecting and changing playback devices can be time-consuming if you have to go into each app to control its elements.”

Last year, Google said it was working closely with Spotify to allow users to easily switch playback between any Spotify Connect devices from the Android media player. Such compatibility was initially expected last year.

Also expected is the media messaging feature that was announced last year: “You can start listening to a podcast in the car, continue on your phone and headphones, and finish on your TV at home with one click. When you change your physical location, you’ll see these media messages on your phone or other devices asking if you want to stream audio to a nearby device.” Google is working with YouTube Music and Spotify to add support for media notifications as part of the Cross device SDK. It has not been announced when exactly gjkexfn users will support these features.
