I even took my iPhone off WiFi, and used LTE, and was still able to keep these devices in sync. I just tested the interaction of Spotify Connect between my iPhone 6, the beta of Spotify on my MacBook Air, and my new Yamaha receiver (that has Spotify built into it.) I was able to send Spotify music from the iPhone to the Mac and the Yamaha, and from the Mac to the iPhone and the Yamaha too. Even if my phone is on 4G and the Mac is on ethernet, then it will still see it and can select songs - these will stream from the ethernet on the Mac and play on there.Yes! This is very cool indeed. So if I play a song on my iPhone, I can select to play it on my Mac. Spotify Connect tells their servers what song is playing on which device. Even if they're on the same enterprise or university WiFi network then they won't be able to see each other.

To those saying use AirPlay, this is much better for me and I'm sure for many other people too.ĪirPlay requires both devices to be on the same WiFi network - and only a home WiFi network.
