SPOTIFY is giving away free Google Nest Mini smart speakers to Premium subscribers. The Home Mini is an Amazon Alexa rival – and would usually cost you £30. If you’re determined eligible, Spotify will send you a code that you can redeem on the Google Store to get a free speaker. However, once you get your code sent to you, you’ll need to link your Google Assistant with Spotify for it to activate, according to the deal’s fine print. Codes also need to be redeemed before October 31st.
Spotify Free Speakers
You no longer need a Spotify Premium subscription to listen to your Spotify playlists on Alexa, Bose or Sonos speakers. Last week, Spotify announced that Free users could finally listen on Sonos speakers. Today, it's extending that capability to Alexa and Bose speakers, too.
For the first time, Free users in the US, Australia and New Zealand will be able to play Today's Top Hits, Discover Weekly or custom playlists on Amazon Echo and Fire TV devices. Or, Free users can stream through the Bose Home Speaker 300, Home Speaker 450, Home Speaker 500, Portable Home Speaker, Soundbar 500 or Soundbar 700. As announced last week, Free users can stream Spotify on all Sonos speakers, including Sonos Move, the SYMFONISK IKEA speaker and Sonos Home Sound System.
To start, you'll need to make sure your speaker is updated to the latest firmware. Then, in the Spotify app, select the device you want to stream to.
As we said previously, this could make Sonos, Alexa and Bose speakers more appealing to the millions of people who listen to Spotify Free -- and just in time for the holidays.
Spotify, Bose(Pocket-lint) - Spotify announced earlier this year that Premium subscribers could stream their tunes on Sonos speakers. But what about users of Spotify Free?
Well, both Spotify and Sonos have now revealed that anyone on the Spotify Free tier can stream music on Sonos speakers, thanks to a software update. All you have to do is make sure you're running the latest version of the Sonos app and then head to settings. Here's how to get started.

Spotify Free can be played through Sonos speakers directly from Spotify (using Spotify Connect) or through the Sonos app. You can start up playlists with your voice by song title, genre, or mood via Google Assistant on a voice-enabled device. Alexa does not yet work with Spotify Free.
