Can I play Spotify on my chromecast with a free account?

Newbie…I even don’t know if it is possible, cause I have a free account on Spotify…

I did the integration of Spotify in HA :

To be sure if it is really working, I put a media control card on my dashboard and yes…when playing something on Spotify on my computer, I can see this in HA

I have a playlist on Spotify, that I now want to play on my chromecast.

I made this script :

alias: Spotify Play Playlist
sequence:
  - alias: Spotify Play
    service: media_player.play_media
    data:
      entity_id: media_player.spotify_cxxxxn
      media_content_type: playlist
      media_content_id: >-
        https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Hhy6aY14moTgmI146oVcC?si=8943b05ddd104637
mode: single

I don’t get any errors, but I don’t hear anything. Seems me normal, cause I didn’t indicate where it has to be played (on which chromecast)…

Or do I need a premium account ?

Added this :

    target:
      entity_id: media_player.nest_hub_living

My nest hub shows the streaming icon, but no sound…
