The Amazon Firestick, Fire TV, and Fire TV Cube are amazing streaming devices that have become a must-have for tech junkies and amateurs alike. Because of its versatility and compatibility, thousands of apps are available for download and most are 100% free. Suddenly, I got disconnected from Spotify, and now, I can't login. I've tried all the options (pin pair, Spotify device pair, and traditional login with email & password) but still nothing. In my Spotify app, I cannot connect to devices even though it pops up. It just says 'connecting.' But doesn't do anything. Spotify Premium is available on various platforms and devices such as (Android, iOS), Computer (Windows / Mac / Linux), Smart TV, Smart Speaker (Amazon Alexa / Google Home), Console (PS4 / Xbox One), etc. Spotify Premium’s data sync allows you to control the music playing on one device via another device (for example, controlling the music playing on your PC via smartphone), which is impressive. You can access your Spotify account from within the Amazon Fire TV Stick. Pandora, YouTube, Tidal, SiriusXM, iHeartRadio and TuneIn also have apps for the Stick too. Depending on what apps are being preloaded at the time, some will already be installed.
Spotify fires up on Amazon Fire TV. Amazon's streaming-media box adds support for the music service with more than 20 million songs. To use Spotify Connect, you'll need a premium subscription.
The Spotify app for the Fire TV has been disappointing ever since it was released in September 2014. That’s because it was nothing more than a companion app to their smartphone apps which acted as a receiver for your music stream. That changes this week because the Fire TV Spotify app has been updated to a full featured stand alone app. Even better is the app no longer requires a premium paid Spotify subscription.
Once you login to the app, you’ll be able to stream music from numerous playlists and categories directly through the Fire TV. Front and center in the app is a list of popular playlists. Scrolling right is an area for genres and moods. All the way on the far right lives a list of new releases. The app also has a “Your Music” section as well as search. The search feature breaks down results into songs, albums, and playlists. If you don’t have a premium account, you will hear the occasional commercial, but the free music selection is impressive. Exiting the app while music is playing will keep the music playing, even when you enter other apps, like games. Unfortunately, Spotify through Alexa on the Fire TV is still not available.

Google home free spotify account. Seems pretty buggy. The interface is really laggy for me, I rebooted and then re-launched the app and it only displayed on the top half of my tv.

Same for me. Kinda thinking maybe it’s only FireOS 5.0.5 compatible

Maybe, I’m on a ftv1 51.1.5.0

Worked just fine for me with Fire OS 5.0.5.
I feel sorry for the Emma developer, because his app is dead.

The update works on my old Fire Stick with 5.0.5. But the user interface is horrible. I am a premium subscriber and have hundreds of playlists, primarily organized in playlist folders and subfolders for easy organization. Using the updated app on my Fire Stick, playlist folder(s) are ignored and my playlists are all in one horizontal scrolling line. Think of the Amazon Prime Video Watchlist scrolling line. To get to a playlist near the end of this line, I’d have to hold down the scrolling button on my remote for a long time. On my phone, or computer, I can access any playlist in no more than 4 taps.
I find it’s easier to just select a playlist from my computer or phone and “play through” my Fire Stick, with the audio coming through my home audio system. https://brownaa705.weebly.com/blog/spotify-for-tablet-free.
Spotify apk for india. Also, there’s no option to scrobble my tracks to my Last.fm account, as there is when I play through my computer or phone.
Finally (for now), I can’t access my account settings via the updated app.
This update is very disappointing. I hope they work on a fix soon.

It’s now the app we wanted originally. Nice [FTVv1 OSv5.0.5]

I have to agree … why not have content available similar to app. I’m a Premium user and to find anything is a chore. Also I can not find my saved albums or Artists. This appears to be watered down version of the Spotify app.

Noticing that Spotify now scrobbles to Last.fm via the Spotify app on Amazon Fire TV. https://brownaa705.weebly.com/pro-spotify-for-fire-tv-apk.html. Must have just happened recently because I know even a few weeks ago this wasn’t the case.
