Google is developing a new Gemini extension for Spotify, similar to the one already available for YouTube Music. This extension will allow users to play both podcasts and music directly from Spotify.
According to an analysis of the latest version of the Google app (version 15.30.27.29) carried out by Android Authority, when asking Gemini to play music from Spotify, a YouTube Music information card is initially displayed, but the playback is done through the Spotify app.
In addition, the assistant will be able to play Spotify music in the background without the need to open the application, according to the analyzed data. The extension is still under development and does not have a confirmed release date for the public.
Spotify is on everyone’s lips these days. A few days ago, the platform once again started offering song lyrics to free users, after being criticized for making them an exclusive feature for Premium users; a quite unpopular measure taken to encourage subscriptions, but that has (fortunately) already been reversed.
In addition, a few days ago, Spotify CEO, Daniel Ek, announced the new ‘Deluxe’ plan, which will include enhanced features and higher audio quality than the Premium plan. This new plan, which will cost around 17 to 18 dollars in the United States, aims to offer a superior experience to users.
