Despite being the most widely used music streaming app globally, even regular users may be unaware of all its amazing features. Some of these features may be easily overlooked until you hear about them from someone or read about them online since they are hidden in the app's settings.
Playlists are at the heart of many of Spotify's greatest features. The software makes a ton of customized playlists for every user, some of which are simple to discover and others that need certain search criteria. However, playlists are not the only undiscovered treasures.
Additionally, Spotify offers driving-specific settings and even a mini-version of the well-known Snake game that you can play inside the app. To help you get the most out of the streaming service, here are some of the greatest Spotify hacks. These hacks also come in handy for new artists that are looking to grow their following and gain traction on the platform.
Look For Particular 'Made For You' Playlists
The homepage of Spotify displays a plethora of tailored suggestions, including mixes, playlists curated by your preferred musicians and genres, recently listened to music and podcasts, and more. Both the music in the playlists and the material on the main page are constantly changing. The 'Made for You' playlists are a unique feature that is based on your listening preferences.
You may see some of these 'Made for You' playlists on the home page, but by hitting the search icon and choosing the 'Made For You' option, you may discover many more. You may see more playlists by typing 'Made for You' into the search field.
You may search by genre if you have a particular search in mind. Entering 'Genre: Indie,' for instance, will provide a number of Indie playlists. The 'Made for You' label will be applied to playlists that were made just for you.
Use Spotify Radio To Search for Similar Tracks
The 'Radio' option on Spotify might be useful if you have ever heard a song and wish to locate similar tunes. It compiles a selection of music that are in line with the style of the song, album, artist, or playlist you are now enjoying.
Simply touch the three dots next to any album, playlist, artist, or song to access Spotify Radio, then choose 'Go To Radio.' Spotify will make you a personalized playlist. You have the option to listen now, download the whole playlist, or store it to your library for later listening by tapping the plus button.
Find Artist Playlists By Searching 'This Is'
Finding playlists for certain artists is easy using Spotify. You may see an artist's most popular songs, albums, and playlists when you go to their profile. However, you can hit the search button and write "This is [artist name]" to get a playlist that solely contains that artist's songs. Searching for "This is Taylor Swift" will, for instance, provide a Spotify playlist with the artist's greatest songs.
Most well-known bands and musicians can use this approach, although not all of them can. Another way to get playlists from certain decades or years is to utilize this strategy, such as "This is 90s Hits."
Use Spotify's Car Mode
Spotify's integrated Car Mode makes it simpler to listen to podcasts and music while operating a motor vehicle. When your phone connects to your vehicle via a USB/AUX connection, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Spotify Connect, or Android Auto, it instantly turns on.
The app's controls and icons enlarge in Car Mode, making them simpler to view and touch. To play certain songs, users may also utilize voice commands by touching the microphone button. Tap the Home button, go to Settings (gear icon), choose 'Car,' and toggle 'Car Mode' on or off to activate or deactivate it.
Enable High-Quality Audio
Although Spotify does not now provide hi-fi, customers can still enjoy high-quality music. Three audio options are available to free users: Normal (96 kbps), Low (24 kbps), and High (160 kbps). To modify it, press the Home button, go to Settings (tool icon), choose 'Audio Quality,' and then choose your preferred setting.
Very High (320 kbps), an additional setting available to Spotify Premium customers, produces crisper, more detailed sound that is particularly audible with high-quality headphones. Both mobile data and Wi-Fi users may adjust this audio quality. They may also choose the song quality that they want to download.
