I subscribe to Spotify Premium monthly. Oh yes, there’s a ‘freemium’ edition, but I spend a comparatively small amount of money well. Overall, as I have said, I use it, and it is of good value for money and supports those keeping the entertainment business alive.
Here is how I ensure that I benefit most from the deals I get from it.
Not Paying Out for Too Many Streaming Services
Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Amazon Music, Tidal: There are so many possibilities with the available services that it is difficult to choose which way to use them. However, deciding on one or two that interest you and remaining loyal to them is advisable.
Here is a good reason for enjoying many different streaming services: You lose money with too many subscriptions. Your lies will define exactly which interface is most appealing to you; otherwise, it is very similar to all three in functionality and content, so choose what suits you, and don’t switch it up!
Making Numerous Playlists on Spotify
The longest playlist is My Liked. That is what I tend to do because, in some ways I just find it so easy to add things to. All you have to do is click on the + symbol next to any song, and it will automatically be added to your liked tracks. I immediately made a second playlist when I joined Spotify Premium, though: this was the shower play list in other words, several tracks I enjoy. I then included a relatable playlist, one for friends, Christmas and some best songs from artists i like.
Blending Music With Friends
Here’s an underrated gem and one of Spotify’s coolest features: This tool lets you share your music with your friends. In short, some of your favorite songs and your friend’s top tracks are combined into a playlist, and other related music is suggested.
This could be a deciding factor for you when choosing a music streaming service: Which of them do your friends employ? That might not seem like something you need to consider, but for me, it was a major deciding factor in going with Spotify in the first place.
First, it allowed me to gain experience and decide if I needed it to pay for Premium. As for the free version, they don’t really appeal to me; the paid one seems much better as someone lent me their credentials. Secondly, music can be an intimate field, but it is necessary for the social aspect, so the possibility of grouping up with friends in such a manner is significant. Moreover, it’s straightforward to create blends on Spotify!
Listening to Audiobooks Through Spotify Premium
Streaming services, it seems, are not only about the tunes. The audiobooks are one of the joys of paid-for platforms, and even if not every website has such an incredible selection of books, Spotify Premium has a lot.
There is a catch. You have 5 listening hours on average weekly You have to get your information within this limited time. At the time of writing, users can listen to up to 15 hours of audiobooks each month. Now, that may not sound like very many if you consider yourself an audiobook junkie. Still, for casual viewers such as myself, it’s enough to try samples of the books available, as well as an excellent, painless introduction to audiobooks as a medium.
It’s not perfect—quite the contrary, it could be miles off from perfect; however, Reading 75 books in December and being able to listen to just 15 hours might make you listen to half a book only before it is like the listening period is over and for the next one you have to wait till the next month. That is enough for some, while for others, it is just typing your toe into that industry, as in my case.
Listening to Spotify’s DJ
Based on the above observations, as a logical continuation of those recommendations, I examine the service’s own DJ. Or should that be my own DJ? Spotify uses what you like to generate your own channel, hosted by the Head of Cultural Partnerships at Spotify, Xavier ‘X’ Jernigan.
Suffice it to say, this is tied into the app, although a supplementary capability can be added.
So, it comes down to choosing what you require from a music streamer. There are many things to compare and look for, so if you want to get the most bang for your buck, write down your wants and needs and focus on a site. Spotify was the answer for me because it was music, and I could listen to whatever I liked.
