Spotify Connect for old iPod Touch Gen 4 (Model: A1367)

[Samazar]

Is there any way I can run Spotify on my old iPod and control it via Spotify that is running on my Android phone? I am a Premium member.

Hey @Samazar, thanks for reaching out to the Community!

Your device (iPod Touch 4th Generation) isn’t compatible with the Spotify app, as the application needs iOS 14 or later, and the latest version for iPod Touch 4th Generation is iOS 6.1.6. There is a list of the system requirements here. I do apologize for the inconvenience.

I'll be here if you need a hand with anything else!

Thanks for your response Billy, I'm using an NVIDIA Shield that is connected to my pre-amp processor, I downloaded Spotify on the NVIDIA Shield and it acts as a Spotify Connect receiver when used in conjunction with Spotify on my phone which is great. However, I prefer the sound of the iPod and I think this difference is due to the fantastic Wofson DAC chip that is present in the iPod.

Is there any other way I can steam from Spotify on my phone to the iPod?

Is there not an older version of Spotify app that will run on my iPod? I'm not sure if there are third party apps out there that act as Spotify receivers.

Hey @Samazar,

Thanks for the reply! You could perhaps use the Web Player on your iPod, however, there’s no guarantee this will work. I don’t know of any Spotify receivers that could work with the iPod, but none would be supported from Spotify. 

Let me know if you have any more questions.
