Spotify might be the market leader for music streaming, but it’s always been shunned by Google Chromecast.

Chromecast already supports a number of streaming services, including Netflix, Pandora, Plex, Rdio, and Google Play Music.
However, it seems Google is now more open to allowing direct competitors to join the Chromecast ecosystem.

The announcement is tipped to be made at a launch event later this month, at which we’re expecting to see two new Nexus phones unveiled.

We’ll be reporting on the September 29 event as it happens, so stay tuned to TrustedReviews for the latest on all things Google.
