One of the highest rated posts on Spotify's own community forum is titled "Add support for Google Chromecast," a clear indicator of not only how much this feature is desired, but also of Spotify's lack of care for it.

You don't need a football team of makeup artists to look great (not that we'd say no to our our styling team).
