Great Audio Streaming Experience
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to hook into my whole home distributed audio system. It's worked great for streaming audio from Pandora, Google Play, Youtube, etc. My one complaint would be this device will not work with a Free Spotify account. To stream from Spotify, it's required you have a Premium plan. The work around is to use the Google Home application and stream your entire device's audio to the Chromecast Audio. I personally just have a spare tablet that I stream Spotify from, so it's not constantly getting notifications and other sounds. It works great.

Great companion for Google Home Mini
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are deep in the Google ecosystem, this item is a must-have. I have Chromecast, Chromecast Audio, and Google Home Mini. I love the voice assistant feature. I just tell the home mini to play (skip, pause, etc.) music from my google music, Pandora, or Spotify (default) on Chromcast audio. The home group play function is also a great feature. NOTE: Spotify premium is required to stream via wifi. I was a little disappointed at Google for not including the Bluetooth functionality to home mini but this solved the problem.

Inexpensive way to stream music to multiple rooms
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is relatively easy to set up within the Google Home app. If there is a problem, sometimes deleting the group and redoing the group is best.

Simple product, does exactly what I wanted

The Sonos speakers without the cost
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased the Chromecast audio so we could have multiple room audio. When we have parties at our home, it is nice to have the music throughout the home. On our patio in the back, in the dance room, as well as the movie theater, the bathrooms and other rooms. With the number of people that end up at our home the music flows from room to room and ends up making for a great night! What is nice is that we can chose the whole house, or specific areas that are group together to get just the right ambiance for where we are in our home. Thanks Google!
