Android-powered Philips TVs will be the first to support Spotify Connect, letting you stream music from a mobile device straight to the television. From September, Spotify Premium subscribers will be able to stream music on their compatible Philips Smart TV, in a move that will integrate the music service more into our homes. And Spotify tells us that Philips is just the first in a “long line” of smart TVs that will be arriving with Connect support.
TPVision, a subsidiary of Philips, has announced that it will be the first television manufacturer to support streaming music via Spotify Connect to a Philips TV. Announced today ahead of the start of the IFA trade show in Berlin next week, the integration will allow users to ‘cast’ music from the smartphone or tablet apps – and even continue doing other things on the device while the music plays on – to Android-based Philips Smart TVs. We’re not sure exactly how many people sit down and listen to music via their TVs – a stereo is certainly a more traditional instrument for the job – but adding yet another way for paying subscribers to access music across a range of different devices can only help strengthen the appeal of the platform. The company said the new integration would arrive sometime next month.
