Spotify is a popular app for streaming music, but it offers much more than just songs and playlists.
If you’re only using it for music, you’re missing out on some amazing features that can make your experience even better. Here’s a look at the other cool things you can do with Spotify.
TikTok-like Feed
Spotify has a feature similar to TikTok, where you can scroll through short previews of songs, albums, playlists, and even audiobooks. This feed is available on the home page, with separate sections for music, podcasts, and audiobooks.
After previewing, you can save content to your library, download it for offline listening, or share it with friends. You can also find previews of songs under album covers and playlists, and sometimes there’s a button to buy tickets for upcoming live events.
Podcasts
Spotify has over 6 million podcasts in different genres, such as news, entertainment, history, and mystery. You can listen to podcasts during your commute, workout, or road trips.
If you’re new to podcasts, Spotify has features like the Sleep Timer, which pauses your podcast after a set time, and the ability to share episodes from any point you want.
Audiobooks
Spotify is not just for music and podcasts. It also offers audiobooks. With over 250,000 titles in genres like sci-fi, romance, and horror, there’s something for everyone.
Premium users get 15 hours of audiobook listening each month, but even non-Premium users can buy audiobooks and listen to them on any device.
Live Events
Spotify helps you discover live events like concerts. You can search for events near you by location, genre, and date.
Once you find an event you like, you can add it to your library, buy tickets, and share it with friends. This feature ensures you never miss out on your favorite artist’s concert.
Charts
Spotify has charts that show trending music and podcasts. You can see what people in your country are listening to and discover new artists or songs.
The charts are a great way to explore fresh content, and you can even see the most popular podcasts.
News Feed
Spotify’s news feed keeps you updated on new releases and activities from the artists you follow. You can find this feed by clicking on your profile picture and tapping “What’s New.” From here, you can browse the latest music, podcasts, and shows, and save them directly to your library.
