Spotify introduced a new Connect for Computer feature Friday, letting premium customers control Spotify using their iPhone, smartphone or tablet as a remote.

We’ve just released a great new Premium feature, which lets you play Spotify through your computer, using your phone or tablet as a remote. Use the Spotify app to control the sound. It’s brilliant if your laptop’s hooked up to your speakers. Or if you just don’t want to get off the couch.

Here’s how it works:

1. Make sure you’ve got the latest version of Spotify on both your computer and your phone/tablet.
2. Log in to Spotify on your phone/tablet, and play any song.
3. Tap the Now Playing bar, and hit the Connect icon.
4. Select your computer from the list, and let the music flow.

And if you want to make it even easier, check out the Gramofon and Spotify Connect wireless speakers, a great way to upgrade your existing stereo.


Connect for computers is a premium feature only, but there are third-party alternatives available in the App Store (for those who have the free version of Spotify).

You can download Spotify Music from the App Store for free
