One weakness that has is its lack of compatibility with third-party apps (though Apple is ). For instance, if you ask Siri to play music on, she'll tell you point-blank that. While you can pause and Spotify tracks using Siri, there's not much else you can do — but Spotify has its own voice assistant to fill the gap. In a recent update to the app for iPhone, Spotify has added the ability to use voice commands to control its entire library — from playing songs and albums to playlists and radio stations. They're calling it Spotify Voice. While you do need to be inside the app to perform these actions (unlike Siri, who you can call upon from anywhere), it's a very nice addition until Siri gets its act together. When you first open up Spotify, you'll find yourself on the 'Home' screen (the leftmost tab along the bottom).
Just tap the 'Search' tab (the magnifying glass), then you should see a microphone in the bottom-right corner. Tap that, hit 'Get Started' to begin the process of using Spotify Voice, and tap 'OK' to give Spotify access to your microphone when prompted.

It actually funnels the sound to the Mac speakers. I am used to taking out my EarPods when someone comes to my desk, but now, the music will start blaring. It works like it is supposed to with iTunes though. Sounds like they only want it to work with iTunes/Apple Music. On my iPhone with Spotify, it pauses. Do you think they will work the same with Spotify in the future?
