I usually pay for Spotify Premium every month. Yes, there is a free version, but in my case, the cost of a so to speak very small sum is worthwhile. Nevertheless, in view of the fact that I have access to music, it is a real value and helps to grow the entertainment industry.
First of all, I always weigh in on whether I am paying the best price for my money.
Not Subscribing to Multiple Streaming Services
A few music streaming services, such as Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Amazon Music, and Tidal, have flooded the market, and it is hard to choose which one to use.
Still, it is necessary to find one or two such services you like and stick to them. Because things change a lot, we should agree democratically and listen to the music being played after our elections.
Creating a Lot of Playlists on Spotify
Spotify and the similar platforms give you a perfect chance to be creative, so why not take this chance?
My Liked playlist has the most songs. I always start with it because it is simple to manage with just a click of a button. Press the + sign on any song you choose, and it will be among your liked tracks. By now, it took me a split second to even create my first playlist when I joined Spotify Premium: this was my shower playlist, i.e., a few tracks I like to unwind to.
Then, I made a relationship playlist to share with my friends for Christmas, along with some of the music pieces from the artists I liked.
Blending Music With Friends
Here’s an underrated gem and one of Spotify’s coolest features: You can blend music with your friend’s one. Suppose your subset aimset includes a number of songs titled by two symbols of some sort on the billboard charts, and your subset mix variables are songs that share those characteristics.
Firstly, it meant I could get hands-on experience with it before purchasing Premium. I wasn’t thrilled with the free version, but I tried someone else’s paying account and enjoyed it much more. Secondly, music can be a solitary activity, yet it has an important social component, so being able to do this with friends is something truly special. It is also effortless to combine music through Spotify!
Listening to Audiobooks Through Spotify Premium
Music streaming services aren’t all about the music. Audiobooks are a huge plus side of these paid platforms, but the variety is not the same in every one of them. Spotify Premium provides a wide array of options for you to choose from.
However, there is also a limitation. A user’s listening privileges are fixed at some point. At the time of writing, you can listen to up to 15 hours of audiobooks each month. You may think that it’s too little if you are a regular listener, but for those just curious about audiobooks, this is enough to give you a glimpse of the collection.
It’s actually totally far from being great. Allowing only 15 of the 30 listening hours to be used, you could listen to only half a book by the time before it stopped, and you would have to wait for the next month to come. But then, for a lot of people including me, that is probably enough as a start. If I need more information, there are other dedicated audiobook platforms that I can check out.
Adding New Albums to My Library Straight Away
It’s a piece of cake. I hear a song I like and then to try the album I go and listen to more of it; if it’s good, I throw it in My Library. It is quite easy to lose sight of the sheer awesomeness of this, but music streaming, like how it automatically provides the stuff I demand, is way.
Otherwise, purchasing an album through iTunes or as a CD will be at least $9.99. The Individual Spotify Premium plan is $11.99 a month, so buying and listening to many albums makes financial sense.
It is nice that Spotify always lets me know when my favorite artist releases new music. A song or an album can be easily accessed on the homepage and the add-to list. After that, I can proceed with actions like clicking on the plus icon and the tracklist, then adding it to Your Library.
Taking Advantage of Recommendations
Spotify employs AI techniques to suggest more songs or artists you might like based on the type of songs you usually listen to. Sometimes, the recommendation is irrelevant, but the overall position is quite relevant.
When I used to buy songs on iTunes, I always had to pay a minimum of 69 cents per song. Eventually, that’s a lot of money and I would do my best not to pay for music but to stay with the music I like.
Listening to Spotify’s DJ
As I explore related releases, I run through the channel that Spotify itself put out. By now, I kind of feel like it is my DJ, don’t I? It’s pretty cool, isn’t it? Thanks to Spotify and its system of data collection, it is able to create an individual channel that features music you love.
Spotify’s DJ is a great example of generative AI. I am not a big fan of artificial intelligence generally, and Spotify uses it quite heavily. However, I am glad to announce that it is not used in a creative mode. It is just an instrument that passes the song to you. If I am not sure what I want to hear, I can let the DJ do it for me.
The solution is your demand. Faced with many challenges, the best approach is to identify high-quality arguments and focus. To tell the truth, Spotify was the solution for me.
