Spotify is an amazing music service that is growing in popularity, and can be used on a number of different devices. But if you want to listen to Spotify through your Apple TV so that you can use your home entertainment system, then you might be having trouble.
Fortunately you can use Spotify over AirPlay, which allows you to send content from your iPhone to the Apple TV, including music from the Spotify app. Our short guide below will show you what you need to do in order to start using the Spotify app with the Apple TV.
