For me it is Spotify Connect, and I still can’t believe no one has copied.
I’m in the process of getting my speakers set up with airplay, which might be my one way out. It still won’t be as good as Spotify Connect. I just hate that Spotify is deliberately trying to make my Mac and iPhone worse (e.g. Spotify is the only reason Rosetta is running on my M1 Mac) as part of their little war with Apple.

- crazygringo 5y agoSeriously. It's also one of the cleverest examples I've ever seen of turning a limitation into a feature. Spotify didn't want multiple people sharing a single account, which is relatively easy to implement by preventing multiple devices from listening to different tracks at the same time. But so they just synced the same stream across all connected devices, and boom -- no longer a limitation, now it's a feature! And a genuinely useful (even indispensable for me) one at that. I can't think of any other similarly clever solution by any other company where a limitation is genuinely turned into a benefit, but I wonder if anyone else here can.
- pimlottc 5y agoAgree, it's really nice to start streaming from my computer to my Sonos speakers and know that I can close out the app and it will keep playing. And if I need to change it from across the room, I can just pick up my phone.
- wilsonnb3 5y agoIf you have Sonos speakers you can do all of that for any music streaming service that they support
