You may well know Spotify? Maybe, but try anyway these tips, some might surprise you.
For those who have definitely made the choice to switch all their music on a streaming service like Spotify or Deezer, the daily use of these applications on smartphone, tablet or PC, has become so commonplace that we sometimes forget to go digging through menus to find all the practical features offered by these services.
Time has compiled a list of eight little-known features and yet very practical housed in Spotify, which could change a bit mélonaute your life (I just invented this barbaric contraction of mobile user and music lover, sorry). I have adapted to my sauce and topped with two other stuff.
Of course, each of you will know at least a couple of these tips, and the best for all (well done!) But it is likely that a majority do never saw color.
Let's go.
1. Do you hide your friends
Spotify can not only share their playlists (the base) but also see what their friends are listening to, live. One thing that can sometimes be a little tricky and you assert some great moments of solitude. I remember, for example, this summer at a big meeting of silliness at the beach playing on my iPhone a few titles of the hilarious Frédéric François. Until I realized that my "friends" (well, those who follow me) saw it live esbaudis their eyes. Obviously, out of context, it's a little, um, awkward.
To avoid such deadly shame at a meeting, two possibilities: on the desktop version of Spotify, go to the main menu on the top left, select File> Session private listening. Hop and you can get full of quiet Carlos. On mobile, go to Preferences> Sharing and check Listen private. Warning, this setting turns off after six hours of inactivity. If you want to disable sharing what you listen permanently on PC and smartphone, go to Preferences (Privacy PC) and deselect "Create my business" or "Share my business." To live happy, live hidden.
2. Optimize and save time in your research in Spotify
The internal search engine Spotify is perhaps not sophisticated and effective than Google but it uses some of the same logical keywords and phrases associations (in geek parlance it is called "operators") . You can specify your search by artist, genre or year. So if you are looking for a title or Chantal Goya 1985 Early evening, simply to "Chantal Goya year: 1985."
Here is the list of operators who will allow you to effectively search Spotify
Search by artist
Artist: Radiohead - list all songs Radiohead
Search by title
track: "My Sound" - list titles with the name My Sound
Search by album
Album: Loveless - Loveless album list
album: "Many Faces Out Of Focus" - use quotes when keywords contain spaces
Search by year
year: 1969
year: 1989-2013
year: 1989-2013 NOT year: 1993
Refine your search with AND, OR, and NOT.
Kyuss Green AND - list the results with the keywords 'Kyuss' and 'Green'
Zeppelin OR Floyd - list the results with the keywords 'Zeppelin' or 'Floyd'
Metallica NOT Anger - Metallica list all the titles except those with the word 'Anger'
Instead of AND or NOT you can also use the (+) or (-).
Other search options
genre: Displays music by genre corresponding to a word-clé.Voir list of all genres, eg genre: blues genre: "rock and roll".
label: Displays music by label corresponding to the keyword.
isrc: Displays titles matching their identification number according to the International Standard Recording Code.
upc: Displays albums matching their identification number as the Universal Product Code.
tag: new - List Albums added most recently. The tag does not return any result of any other keyword.
3. Use folders to organize and store your music
Sometimes it is a bit complicated to navigate Spotify, especially if you have hundreds of playlists and thousands of songs. In the PC application, go to File> Create New Folder. Once the new folder is created, you can then drag all the playlists you want inside of it. It's just awesome and it'll make a great storage in your music collections. Of course this change is immediately reflected on your mobile app without you having to do anything.
4. Improve the quality of its streaming
Subscribers to the Premium fee formula Spotify enjoy the high-quality listening option that allows you to grow up to a rate of 320 kbit / s. For mobile fault the quality is set to 96 kbit / s to save you bandwidth on your package, but you can change this setting and choose Quality High (160 kbit / s) or Exceptional Quality (320 kbit / s). For this app on your mobile, go to Preferences> Audio Quality.
5. Use the equalizer and set its
This is a well hidden in the mobile app's menus feature, and curiously it is not in "sound quality" but "Play" ... So go to Preferences> Playback, get to the bottom of the screen, and you find "Equalizer". Activate it with the top right button. I let you discover all possible settings, which you can of course customize by changing. With good headphones or good speakers you will see that this is not a gimmick and that the sound is really fundamentally changed with these settings. You have to find your (Chantal Goya for example).
6. Add your own songs and play them off-line
Your Playlists collection is not enough and Spotify does not offer the full Carlos? Never mind ! Just add your own songs and you can play them directly in Spotify. To do this in the PC application, go to Preferences> Local Files, and select the desired folders (including iTunes). You can also select another folder of your choice. You can also download titles in question on your mobile if you select "Available Offline". With no title on my PC as I write this, I could not test this feature so I do not know how these songs are downloaded, and whether the smartphone is on the same local WiFi network PC or Spotify will search the titles in its own database. If I have the answer I post it here in update.
7. View the lyrics
To display the lyrics, just add the application to your Spotify musiXmatch PC. To do this go to Apps Search in the left menu of the PC application and select musiXmatch> Add. A karaoke folaille you.
8. Change the appearance of the player Spotify
You can change the display of your player in sync with the music played like an old skin Winamp For this, during playback, type "spotify: app: visualizer" in the search field in the PC application and choose an animation . One option that does not seem available in the mobile application.
9. Make a direct link to a specific section of a song
Yet something made possible by the magic of the internets: you can send a corresponding link that will point to a specific section of a song, for example to find him a guitar solo without having to type the listening to the entire name. For example, if you want to point directly at that time the cult of French rock culture where Event begins demigods reinvent literally rap, returning the Tupac and other 50 Cents to their dear studies, simply train link as follows:
<a href= »spotify:track:7zhmazCm877yScXIQfeMh0#2:36"> Beginning Of Evening - madness Rap </a> And remember NEVER "A music without major, is a track without dancers."
10. Share your Spotify Premium account
Not everyone knows maybe not: you can give your Spotify credentials to someone else so that he can also use the Premium version without paying. Of course, this method has its limits, otherwise Spotify may not exist already: listening streaming is restricted to one person at the same time and you have to accept that the other adds its own playlists. If you are fans of Carlos, Chantal Goya and Early evening, you may live badly adding Death Metal lists, but YMMV.
