Internet-giant Google on 20 April launched Chromecast Audio, a dongle for speakers that allows streaming multimedia files and content on the music-output system, directly.

Last but not the least. Continuous connectivity will not drain your battery. You can also receive calls, surf the web, chat, etc, during the process, without interrupting the music.
