Well, this is where Last.fm comes to the rescue.
However, it isn’t really exhaustive and doesn’t offer any insights into your tastes or listening pattern.
Spotify maintains a record of all the tracks you’ve played recently and you can check the same by clicking the ‘Queue’ button from the bottom bar and navigating to the ‘History’ tab. It allows you to bring your collections from a number of streaming platforms and move them to other ones in minutes. Your collection on a certain music streaming service could be a primary reason for you being wary of making the switch, but don’t fret as you can bring all that over to Spotify pretty easily with the help of a third-party service called Soundiiz. I myself had stuck to Google Play Music and accumulated a lot of artists, liked tracks, and obviously a myriad of playlists on there. Spotify being super late to the music streaming scene in India means that there’s a high probability that you’ve been using some other streaming service for your music needs. All that’s left to do now is sharing the playlist’s link with friends, making this feature super handy at parties where anyone can add music to the playlist. If you want to turn an existing playlist into a collaborative one on the Spotify mobile app, then go to “Your Library > Playlists” and tap the ‘three dots’ icon next to the playlist and select the Make Collaborative option. To create a collaborative playlist, you’ll first need to create a simple playlist and then tap the ‘three dots’ icon and choose the ‘Collaborative Playlist’ option from the menu in your Spotify desktop or mobile app. Collaborative playlists are marked by a hollow circle next to their name. Spotify allows you to create playlists that you can share with your friends and they can edit the same – add or remove songs from the playlist. If you and your friend have an almost identical taste in music, the collaborative playlists feature could be super fun to check out. Not every track or album sports this option on the desktop or web app. The search shows the most popular version of the track and it might not necessarily be what you like, however, searching for its alternative version is no chore.Īt the end of an album, the streaming giant offers an option to check out the alternate versions of a track or album via the ‘X More Releases’ option. While some users are more comfortable with a clean version of the track, there are others who would pick the explicit or remix of their favorite track.
SPOTIFY ONLY YOU ANDROID
You could be listening to music on your laptop or speaker, but the mobile device can be used as a remote.Īs you can see in the screenshot above, I’m listening to songs on my computer but the Spotify app on my Android device displays what song I’m listening to and play, pause or stop playback. Dubbed as Spotify Connect, this feature enables you to play music and control it from any of your devices. One of the best and my favorite features of Spotify is that it syncs your current listening session to the cloud, giving you the power of cross-device playback control.
