New York, June 24, 2014 – Samsung Electronics announced a strategic partnership with online music listening service Spotify. More than 10 million Spotify Premium account holders can now control their Samsung wireless speakers through a special app. Samsung Wireless Audio Multiroom has become the world’s first audio system that allows you to play music using Spotify Connect through two or more speakers. This allows you to create a stereo effect, as well as listen to audio recordings in multiple locations at the same time.
“Enjoying your favorite songs has never been more convenient,” said Eric Jung, vice president of TV and Audio Devices at Samsung Electronics. – With our partnership with Spotify, Samsung users have even more options to manage their music library. We’re taking listening to music to a whole new level.
With Wi-Fi connection to other Samsung devices TVs, soundbars, home cinemas, Blu-ray players the Wireless Audio Multiroom can become a real multi-room audio system. The speakers are controlled via a downloadable “Wireless Audio – Multiroom” app. NFC technology allows for instant connection and music playback from mobile devices.
With Spotify, millions of users can choose from a huge catalog of songs, recommended playlists and personalized radio stations. In the near future, the partners plan to launch joint promotions, in which you can participate without access to the Internet.
Samsung’s priority at the moment is to give users more opportunities to listen to their favorite songs, so the list of services that provide music streaming will only grow in the future.
Can you please explain how the Samsung Wireless Audio Systems with Spotify Connect work? I’m interested in knowing more about the compatibility, features, and overall user experience with this combination. Thank you!
