secondary devices

Spotify is rolling out a new feature that lets Premium subscribers remotely
download playlists to additional devices. For instance, a user could initiate
a download on an iPhone for an iPad or for a backup phone ahead of a trip.

That's all fine and good, and useful in limited circumstances. The big news
here, however, is that this functionality also works with smartwatches, with
integration for Wear OS devices and Apple Watch models. Nothing ruins a good
walk or run like forgetting to download a playlist, so this lets people
square that away whenever they think of it, even when the secondary device is
out of reach.

Spotify is also introducing a new "Manage Downloads" button to assist with
the aforementioned feature. This button accompanies playlists and provides a
list of devices in which a particular batch of songs has been downloaded.
That way folks can be sure they aren't reaching Spotify's five-device limit
the company places on downloads.

This stuff is rolling out right now for users across the globe. It could take
a few weeks to reach everyone. A version of this tool has previously been
available for Apple Watch users, but this is the first time something like
this will be available to those in the Wear OS ecosystem.

Spotify has been busy lately. The platform recently opened up an audiobook
shop for iOS users and unveiled a dedicated Following feed for podcasts.
