Spotify Tips and Tricks: How to Get More Out of Each Listen

Apple’s music-streaming service reportedly has more paying subscribers in the US now than Spotify does, but there’s no doubt that Spotify is still the global leader in streaming music—and Spotify has been a multiplatform service since it first launched in 2008. Even if you’ve been using Spotify since day one, there might be something in here that will become your new favorite streaming feature. When you open the Spotify mobile app, you’ll see three tabs at the bottom: Home, Search, and Your Library. For example, you can stack album after album in a playlist, but you can’t do that from within the playlist itself, where Spotify will encourage you to search for individual songs. Instead, you’ll have to search for the album you want to add, then tap on the “more options” ellipses in the upper right-hand corner, and choose to add to a playlist from there.
