Things You Didn’t Know You Could Do With Spotify

Vinyl records, mixed tapes and cassette players were not long ago synonymous with music.  Then Apple started toying around with the idea of iPods, which led to the creation of Apple Music, there was a new way to listen to music. However, people slowly started looking for different apps and because of the hunt for a new path, Spotiy was born!  You know you can do things like listen to music and download playlists on the app, but did you know you could do these cool things on the app as well?

Things You Didn’t Know You Could Do With Spotify 

1. Run with Spotify

When you run with music, the high is quite unlike what you expected, right?  With Spotify, the high is quite a different one. The app records your pace using your phone’s accelerometer and based on the tempo of your running, it finds the right music to suit your mood.  For example, if you are running 100 steps per minute, Spotify will pick music in a way which helps you maintain your pace. To use this feature, all you have to do is to pick the playlist you want and start running.  Spotify will do the rest. If you haven’t use this feature from the app, get on it now!

2. Get lyrics to the songs on the app  

One of the most helpful tricks on Spotify is, it gives you lyrics to all the songs you listen to without switching browsers or looking for them on another website!  To view the lyrics of the song, pick the track and click on the image which comes with song, which then shows the lyrics. However, while this sounds like quite a neat trick, the feature is available only for certain songs and is only usable on the mobile version of the app.  Try it and thank us later.

3. Send particular parts of the song to your friends

How many times have you thought of sending a friend certain parts of a song, but could not because the app doesn’t let you clip the song?  With Spotify, this is no longer a problem. To send a certain part of the song through Spotify, all you have to do is Right-click on the song and choose Copy Spotify URI (Uniform Resource Indicator.)  Paste the link in a message, add # and how far in the song they should listen. For example, if you want your friend to listen to the lyrics when the song is at 2:01, type #2.01 on the link and send it to your friend.  When your friend clicks on the link, they’ll automatically hear the song from the mentioned time. Problem solved!

4. Add non Spotify music to the app

Even though you usually find all the songs you want on Spotify, those rare treasures you really want to listen to just aren’t available  To make life simpler for you, Spotify lets you add music from external apps.  All you have to do is go to Settings, swipe down until you see the “Locate Files” option and click on “Add Source.”  Add whatever music you like and create your perfect playlist in a matter of minutes. You’re welcome.

5. Find songs for every mood

Sometimes you want songs to match your mood, but you just can’t seem to find the right one, right?  By giving you songs for quite literally every mood possible, Spotify helps you with just this situation.  All you have to do is use the Moodagent app to find the perfect playlist for your mood. If you think the app doesn’t have the songs fit for your mood, enter what you feel at the point and the Spotify app does the rest!  Not only does the app create a playlist for the specific mood in which you are, it also lets you control the tempo and curve of the songs to which you are listening.

When you use Spotify right, you realise there are so many things you can do of which you don’t really take advantage.  If you think we missed out on any other cheats and tricks to make using Spotify a simple process, comment and let us know!
