spotify connect

[blahhhhhh2]

is absolute garbage lately.  i use 2 android devices....my phone and an old phone i use as just a player.

just a few weeks ago i could be listening on the old phone hard wire connected to a speaker and be able to control things with my phone from across the room.

lately this is just a royal pain.  whats up.  i cant get my laptop to find other devices either. 

restarting the phones help temporarily,,then it goes back to garbage.

any help is appreciated

It works so poorly with my Chromecast Audio devices lately.  I have a group of 3 Chromecast Audio.  When I try to connect to the group with my phone, I can hear the connection sound on all 3 devices, but Spotify will not confirm the connection.  I tried for hours last Saturday and gave up.  Used Google Play Music instead which connected without issues.

I don't know what Spotify is doing lately.  It's as if they're purposely pushing us away to other services.
