As a Spotify Premium subscriber, you can download playlists, albums, and songs for offline listening on Wi-Fi or cellular networks – helping preserve battery life and save data usage.
Spotify makes creating playlists easy, while Spotify codes allow you to share music with others.
Signing up for a free account
Spotify is an audio and podcast streaming service that makes music and podcasts available anywhere with internet access, including computers, phones, tablets, and most major intelligent speakers. Songs and albums can be downloaded for offline listening, offering both ad-free listening options and access to Hulu. There are both free accounts and premium accounts with access to Hulu that offer additional benefits.
Spotify is an invaluable way to discover new music with its algorithmically generated playlists featuring popular lists, trending hits, and recommendations based on your taste. Furthermore, “Discover Weekly” and “Release Radar” playlists highlight songs or albums released by artists you follow.
Spotify Codes provides another convenient feature allowing you to share songs, albums and playlists with family and friends. The app generates a code displaying its artwork and a link for them to scan to open it instantly on Spotify.
Creating a playlist
One of the most beloved features of Spotify is its playlist-building functionality, enabling you to curate a personalized music library and share it with friends or the world. Playlists also serve as an effective way of finding new tunes and artists to follow.
To create a playlist on Spotify, tap the “+” (plus) sign from the main menu. Next, type in your playlist name and tap ‘Create.’ You can even make collaborative playlists so multiple people can add and remove songs as desired.
If you want to add many songs at once quickly, press Ctrl + A on Windows (or Command on Mac) and select all. Or click on each track’s heart icon to save them to Liked Songs; this will automatically add them to your new playlist. Alternatively, use the Edit option on the menu to customize how your playlist appears – editing can also change its order!
Listening to music
Spotify can be used to quickly search through songs you enjoy or scan public playlists for suggestions, but it can also serve as an effective means of curating your music and podcasts. If you wish to make them accessible offline, click on the green checkmark icon next to them; this will save them onto your device so they’re accessible even when disconnected from Wi-Fi or cellular data.
Follow Artists: This feature can prove especially helpful. Instead of adding artists directly to your library, this lets Spotify know you’re interested in their latest releases – this way, you’re more likely to come across music that resonates with you and helps expand your musical horizons!
Spotify allows you to download individual songs and albums directly onto your desktop app for optimal audio quality, though this will consume more data. However, with an ad-free subscription you can stream Spotify high quality over mobile data using your mobile device.
Downloading songs
Spotify songs may be downloaded offline for listening but are encrypted to only playback within their app or device. As such, users must utilize Spotify to play back downloaded songs, playlists, or albums downloaded with it.
One of the most outstanding features of Spotify is its ability to download entire playlists and albums from its main page. To download a playlist, tap on the gray arrow in a circle at the top of each list until it turns green; to download albums, tap each downward-pointing arrow next to individual songs within an album.
The “Enhance” button on Spotify is another convenient feature that enables you to augment your playlists with similar songs, adding them quickly via this method. However, one drawback of using “Enhance” is going online at least once every 30 days to keep downloading songs since Spotify needs play data collected to compensate artists.
