We told you about it this morning, one of the big innovations is that it’s a new form of Chromecast, so it’s also small in size. A different product from Chromecast 2, Chromecast Audio turns your Hi-Fi equipment into connected audio equipment, allowing you to set the mood for your interior.
Much like a classic Chromecast, the Audio version of this dongle allows you to connect your old equipment with today’s technologies. Specializing in music, that’s why Chromecast Audio works with streaming platforms like Deezer, Pandora, IHeartRadio, Google Play Music, Radio, TuneIn, but that’s not all, as Chromecast will also work on Spotify, a global music streaming giant.
This Chromecast Audio plugs into your speaker system or headphone, anything that really allows a 3.5mm cable or Jack cable to be connected. After connecting the dongle with your smartphone or tablet, you will be able to stream all your favorite music freely.
It will be very easy to decide what music you want to play or stream, thanks to the control of the controls on the sedentary smartphone screen. It’s also compatible with Android Wear so you can significantly advance your audio tracks directly from your watch.
The dedicated audiophile dongle will work with all your devices connected to your local network. For people who do not have access to your Wi-Fi, a “guest” mode can also be selected so that everyone can bring their tastes, for example, playlists saved in Spotify.
The app can even detect if you want to change the music. Spotify will be able to put the tracks chosen by each of them behind to avoid any conflicts at the playlist level. It will also be possible synchronize the distribution of your music to several rooms if you have more than one Chromecast Audio.
As for prices, Chromecast Audio should launch today in 17 countries, including France, this morning at around 39 euros as we hoped. If you’re considering getting one, let us know what you think of this music-dedicated Chromecast. Small circles emit the same, Chromecast Audio needs to be connected to the mains to work, and not all speakers have a 3.5mm socket. But at this price, it’s a good start.
