Libratone's wool-wrapped speakers gain Spotify Connect streaming abilities

If you fancy picking up a track where you left off on the commute upon entering your flat, and you've splurged for a Libratone speaker, you're in luck. The company's offerings (like the Loop and Zipp) are now Spotify Connect compatible, making connecting with your mobile device a breeze. As part of the streaming service's paid subscription, the option allows direct streaming with a speaker and smartphone or tablet on the same WiFi network. Libratone's audio gadgets already packed AirPlay and other wireless options, and this one can be nabbed thanks to an update to the speaker's firmware -- accessed through the companion app. This also means another audio choice joins the likes of B&O, Sony, Samsung and others who already offer Spotify's enhanced connectivity.
