The Spotify Connect seems to be a subtle difference, but it bridges an important accessibility barrier for my old eyes. The fast forward and fast reverse buttons accelerate within the current song. Use the left and right arrows to skip between songs. Once the Roku’s Apple Music client is playing, the Roku remote acts differently than many other Roku clients. I have to use the Roku mobile app to get a keyboard interface to Roku’s Music. To control Music on the Roku, I have to launch Music in the Roku interface. The Apple device is still connected to Music and controls what’s playing. I can use the Roku remote to pause and skip between songs with fast-forward.īut when I’m playing Music on my Apple devices, I can only connect to Roku with Airplay. If my Roku is off, that one click turns on the Roku (as well as TV and speakers). Click, select the Roku streamer as my destination, and the Roku’s Spotify client is totally in control. Spotify on iPhone/iPad/Mac shows a “Connect to a device” icon to the left of the volume control. For Apple Music I need to press left/right arrows to move between songs. Roku remote control fast-forward button makes the current song play faster.
