There is no doubt that Spotify is the leading music streaming platform, and not only because it is the most used streaming service on the planet, but also because Spotify is packed with hidden features and tools that benefit both artists and fans.
Spotify is constantly updating itself, so it's easy to miss out on the latest tools and features added to the platform. Despite the app's popularity, there are a number of tools offered by the streaming service that most listeners don't even know exist.
So, to enhance your Spotify experience on your different mobile devices, we have compiled a list of 11 hidden features of spotify, which will allow us to discover some of the best kept secrets of this platform. Very well, let's begin.
Spotify allows listeners to create an interactive listening experience with other users through collaborative playlists. This feature allows you to join with your friends to create a playlist in which each user has the ability to edit, mix, and add or remove songs.
Collaborative playlist participants can see who is contributing to the playlist, and each song features an avatar of the user who added it.
With Spotify's equalizer tool, you can customize your music by choosing from one of several presets, or by dragging the dots on the graph with your finger for more precise, personalized settings.
This tool allows you to set volume levels in various ranges of the audio spectrum. For example, with the equalizer you can boost lower frequencies to increase the amount of bass you hear. The same goes for other frequencies along the spectrum, from lowest to highest.
In this case we recommend using the built-in equalizer presets, but if you want a personalized experience you can choose your own settings.
To use the equalizer, you need to enter the 'Settings' menu, go to 'Playback', then tap 'Equalizer' to open a new window. From here, you can turn the feature on or off using the switch, then scroll down to see a variety of presets that include a wealth of configuration options.
Spotify Codes are “scannable” tags very similar to QR codes used to share or discover new music on the platform. Artists, brands, playlists, albums, and music tracks can have Spotify Codes created especially for them.
A spotify code can be shared with anyone with a mobile device. Use them on social media, websites, and anywhere else where a Spotify URI code can be included.
Spotify has a scanner that allows listeners to scan codes and share them with friends to discover featured content on Spotify. It's as easy as taking a photo with your mobile device.
If there's a part of the song that you love and you want to share it with someone, you don't have to ask that person to skip to 2:50 of the track. You can simply send them a specific link and they'll jump straight to the highlight for you.
If you have the Spotify app installed on your desktop, simply copy the track's URL and paste it into an email or text message, then simply add the time you want to mark, such as '#time2:13' to the end of the code. When the intended person clicks the link, it will take them to exactly the part of the track you want to share with them. Like magic!
Promotional cards of Spotify are a tool that allows users to create personalized resources for their songs, albums and the profiles of their favorite artists and share them easily on social networks.
These customizable graphics are intended for artists to promote themselves or their new music releases with just a few clicks.
Simply search for the content you want to promote. You can share your artist profile, a track, or an album using a promo card. If one of your songs is already included in the playlist, you'll see the option to share a custom promo card in the search results for the track.
You don't need to log in to your account to get started, so fans of your favorite artist can create a promotional card in your name to share with their friends.
Spotify for Artists has a team management tool that allows artists, Admins, and record labels to add multiple people to their teams and view a log of their team’s activities on the artist platform on a new page where all of these actions are logged.
With this tool designed for artists, you'll have the ability to invite any member of your team to join your Spotify for Artists page. Once everything is set up, you'll be able to view statistics and manage your artist page.
You can view and manage all actions performed by your team from the platform. Please note that each team is different, so there is no set limit to the number of members you can invite.
To add members to your team, you simply need to create an account and log into the Spotify Artist Platform and click on the arrow next to your profile name. From the drop-down menu, select the 'manage team' option, which will direct you to a page where you can enter the email addresses of the lucky few you'll be giving access to and set the level of access for each user.
Playlists are designed to be constantly updated, so Spotify has introduced new ways for singers to curate playlists to share their stories and build connections with fans through Spotify clips.
This audiovisual tool is similar to the Snapchat social network that features artists in short clips that allow them to put their personal stamp on a playlist experience.
Spotify Clips lets you collect short videos into playlists meant to share “intimate moments” with fans. Since it’s more focused as a marketing tool, it’s no surprise that it’s only available to artists.
Spotify's artist pick feature gives artists control over the music at the top of their profile. This tool allows you to choose any track, album or playlist and add a short message about why it's your favourite. This gives your fans an idea of the most popular songs right now and the opportunity to explore new artists!
Every artist and admin can add a selection to their artist page using Spotify's Artists platform. To do this, you must choose something you love (a track, an album or a playlist) and add a short message about why it is your favourite.
A great way to promote your upcoming concert or show is through Spotify. You can add your full event schedule and Spotify will filter the list to show only the gigs that are geographically closest to the fan viewing your artist page on Spotify.
To promote your events on Spotify, you need to list them on one of Spotify's ticketing partner sites. The events will automatically be displayed on the Spotify platform, in the Concerts section.
If you don't have any concerts listed on the ticketing partner platform above, you can use a third-party service like Songkick Tourbox. Once your events are listed on Songkick Tourbox, your concerts will be automatically added to Spotify.
One of the most appreciated features of Spotify is real-time lyrics, which shows you the content of the song you are listening to so you can sing along in real time. However, not all songs can display lyrics on the screen.
This feature is usually only available to artists with popular songs, but it's worth going through the steps to try it anyway.
The best way to add lyrics in real time is by using the Musixmatch service, then signing up and connecting it with your Spotify account. The good news is that Spotify is partnered with Musixmatch, so in the not-too-distant future you won't need to open a separate app to overlay lyrics in real time.
Finally, this last concept is not so much a “hidden feature,” but it is an important one that many artists don’t use regularly. Spotify’s integration with Instagram Stories allows artists to share tracks on their Instagram story using a link to direct their followers directly to Spotify.
To do so, simply choose any track, album, playlist, or artist profile in the Spotify app, then open the “Share” menu and click on Instagram Stories. This will create a new story that will be posted to your Instagram feed with a spotify tag.
Once your story is published, viewers will see an option to “Play on Spotify” in the top left corner of their screen. With this link, fans and followers are likely to interact with you on both Instagram and Spotify, while gaining immediate access to their favorite artist’s music.
