This was back in August 2019... With this follow-up in July 2020: When the 2go launched it was stated that it would get spotify connect in a future firmware as well. Are there any news on this?

"Don't worry! The promised features are coming soon, we're close to done now¹!" -chord (¹"close to done" is currently estimated at about 3 years time*)

Or you could just buy a product that delivers on it's promised features, like a fiio player.

Yes, Spotify isn't the highest quality at the moment (higher quality coming soon) But you'd still get better quality if the poly supported Spotify connect rather than SBC Bluetooth.

Yes. 1. You're not using Spotify connect, you're outputting a worse singal. 2. You can't use airplay on an android phone. 3. It's not the way chord themselves states that you'll be able to use Spotify.

And how do you use airplay on an android phone?...

Again. I would be perfectly fine with that. But they, chord themselves, put Spotify support on the box of the device. If it wasn't going to ever support it then they shouldn't have put it on there. They've stated many times that it's "coming soon" "we are working on it" "it's earmarked for the...

It's working for Apple users, and that seems to be enough for chord. This product has been out for over 4 years and it still doesn't support features that's advertised on the box. It's not a matter of having slight problems connecting to the device, it's about a promised feature not being...

Yes. When you think "just buy a different phone" is a reasonable answer to a person who has spent hundreds of dollars on a product that used to work, but now doesn't, then you must be trolling. You started the whole thing with "people like you" And now you're claiming I don't know you? Well...

"And once our units were there, other companies of course had to try to up their game." That line just makes me angry. After the way they've treated their users as beta (if not alpha) testers for their mobile products, promising things they still haven't delivered, (more than 4 years late now)...

And I was told some years ago that Spotify connect would be coming "soon" and "we are working on it" I wouldn't get my hopes up.

If they don't update them, wouldn't that be grounds for suing chord for false advertising?

Good luck with that... Last I heard from chord, 2 years ago, it was coming soon.

At the moment, no, it does not. Chord are supposedly working with Spotify on an update, but it doesn't seem like they care much. In August 2019 they stated: "what we assumed would be a simple process has turned into months of work with Spotify to get code and licensing. We still have more work...

Does it? As in, open Spotify on your phone and select the poly as playback device? Not Spotify over Bluetooth.

You most likely wouldn't use Bluetooth playback on it, ever. As far as I know it doesn't support any quality codec over Bluetooth, not even normal old aptx. So you are limited to SD card playback or some sort of streaming if you'd actually want to listen to music.

Bought the poly a few years ago, and have probably listened to music on it for five-six hours. As an Android user the Bluetooth playback isn't worth it at all, it doesn't sound any better than straight out of the headphone jack on my phone... I bought it due to the advertisement about it...

I don't need a timeframe, but can you please let us know if there's anything going on with Spotify / cast support? Has anything happened in the last 11 months, or is it still "close"?

I'm guessing we'll have to ask in the 2Go & 2Yu thread if we want some answers...

+1 I'm getting quite tired of this now. Bought the poly specifically for it's Spotify playback, and that's some years ago now... I know "we are working on it" But I can't believe it would take years for a feature that's in the instruction manual... "what we assumed would be a simple process...

Now that the 2go is out, do we have any updates on the mojo getting cast support? I keep coming back to check every few months, but still no news? On the 2go site it states "with Spotify (and others) earmarked for the future" At least the 2go doesn't advertise as coming with cast out of the...

I know it's not the main focus at the time, but... Will the poly ever work with Spotify? I bought the monopoly combo about a year ago, based entirely on the fact that it was advertised as working with Spotify. Have used it for maybe a total of two hours... It kind of feels like I wasted a lot...

The thing i am waiting for the most is the abillity to use spotify connect. That would make it so much easier to use.

With a Sony quickcharger it takes mine about 4 hours to charge. (both poly and mojo) In optimal conditions i get about 8-9 hours of music.

Do we have any ETA on the spotify connect for Android / cast update?
