Spotify for Windows is the official application of the popular music streaming service. It allows you to access the platform’s extensive catalog of music, audiobooks and podcasts as well as create playlists, download your favorite tracks and albums, listen to the radio or simply discover new singers and genres thanks to its great recommendation system. With many years behind it and millions of subscribers enjoying its service, Spotify has managed to perfect its app to make it very easy to use. However, where the service stands out is that it allows free access to its music tracks, thus surpassing its main paid rivals: Apple Music and Amazon Music Unlimited. Spotify’s computer app stands out for its clean and intuitive interface, ensuring that any type of user can listen to their favorite content in a couple of clicks. From it you can listen to your favorite tracks, generate your own playlists or, if you wish, let the app itself surprise you with its suggestions. Unlike other free alternatives such as Deezer, Spotify allows you to play the music files you have stored on your PC and synchronize them with the application for Android and iOS, always offering you the possibility to listen to your favorite music. In this way, Spotify becomes for many the most complete option to listen to music wherever you are.
Spotify is an app with which you can play music and audio content from the streaming service of the same name. To start using the app you simply need to install it on your computer and open a Spotify user account. This process is very fast and completely free, because although there is a payment method, you will not need to share your credit card number at any time. Once you have done this, you can make use of this useful program to listen to any of the tracks and albums on the platform, create a playlist and even use the app as the main music player on your computer. Unlike many similar services, Spotify is able to play local music files on your PC and even synchronize them with the mobile application (the latter only in its Premium mode).
Getting started with Spotify is as simple as clicking on the application, searching for your favorite track and starting to listen to it by clicking on the “Play” button. No hassle! Of course, you will need to have a stable Internet connection to enjoy the music without annoying cuts. You can also save your favorite songs to your library by clicking on the heart-shaped icon and, if you prefer, make a playlist by clicking on the “Create playlist” option. Everything is so intuitive that after installing the app, any user will be able to start listening to music instantly. If you are a lover of social networks, you will be delighted to know that Spotify can be linked to Facebook and, thus, share your favorite tracks with your friends. For the more curious, the app also includes a useful suggestions section where week after week playlists are shared on styles or trends of the moment. It is also possible to find new music thanks to its complete filter tool with which you will discover new artists in just a few seconds. Another remarkable feature of Spotify is that, being a cross-platform software, it is possible to connect your songs to another device with the push of a button. This way you can send a song from your laptop to a mobile device or, for example, to multimedia speakers and it will start playing as if by magic. In addition, there is a Premium option for downloading tracks and albums to your computer so you can listen to them offline.
Spotify offers two ways to access its music collection: through a free account or through a paid subscription (Premium). If you opt for the free version of the platform you will enjoy full access to its more than 50 million songs, podcasts and audiobooks. However, the audio quality will not be the best and playback will have annoying advertising interruptions between tracks. On the other hand, the premium option offers a higher audio quality, without advertisements and with the possibility of downloading all the music tracks you want to play them offline.
Spotify is a pioneer in the world of music streaming services and you can tell just by taking a look at its app. It is very complete, easy to use and barely uses your OS resources. With a huge catalog in constant expansion and thanks to its two modes, Spotify is a truly accessible platform from which anyone can have at their fingertips the best music.
