Spotify is by far the most popular streaming service, and it's no wonder. The advantages of this application include an intuitive interface, reliability, but also perfect playlists tailored to the listener. We are already talking about Spotify in our magazine they wrote however, despite this, there are features worth noting in this streaming service. So if you are a Spotify user, or if you are thinking about subscribing, read this article to the end.

Control playback on other devices

One of the very useful features that Spotify offers is the ability to control the music being played by devices that are not currently playing songs. The condition is that both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and logged in to the same account. After that play music on one of them a open Spotify on the other. To switch between devices, tap at the bottom of the screen device icon and subsequently select the device you want the music to play from. If the required device is not in the menu, make sure Spotify is open on it and if so, the application reboot.

Using the equalizer

Unlike Apple Music, the equalizer in Spotify is really perfectly processed, as you can regulate the bass, middle and highs exactly according to your preferences. To access its settings, click on the top left Settings, then go down to the section Playback and then select Equalizer. You will see sliders 60Hz, 150Hz, 400Hz, 1KHz, 2,4KHz a 15KHz, where a higher value means adjusting the frequency in higher bands. So 60Hz adjusts the bass, 15KHz adjusts the treble. You can also use one of the default options in the equalizer, just like in Apple Music, but first you have to switch Activate the equalizer.

Joint listening

One of Spotify's relatively new features is that you can listen to the same music with your friends wherever you are. Joint listening is most useful when you are driving with a friend and want to listen to music or a podcast together, but it is not convenient for you to have only one earpiece in each ear. Click at the bottom to start a joint session device icon and then select Start a session. Others can join her either through a special code at the bottom of the screen. This special code must be uploaded after clicking on Load and connect - this option is located under the option to start a session. You can also easily share the session with a classic link, which you just need to send to your friends on the chat application. To cancel the session you created, tap end session, if you want to leave a session created by someone else, click on Leave the session.

Connection with navigation applications

If you are one of those people who spend a lot of time behind the wheel, you definitely use navigation in your car. In addition, most of us like to play some music to navigate. On the other hand, it is not entirely ideal to concentrate on controlling the phone while driving and switch between applications for control. In this case, linking Spotify with navigation applications comes in handy. To connect, tap on the top left of Spotify Settings, click on Connecting to applications and on the one you want to set up a link with, tap on Connect. Then it's enough agree to Spotify's terms and conditions and all will be done.

Control with Siri

For a long time now, Spotify has been supporting switching playlists, albums, songs or podcasts via a voice assistant from the Californian giant. However, if you want it to work correctly, you must always add a phrase at the end on Spotify. For example, when you want to play the Discover Weekly mix, say the phrase after launching Siri "Play Discover Weekly on Spotify".
