Spotify: 6 key features to take advantage of the platform

Spotify is one of the leading platforms in the music streaming industry. Regardless of which version is used, free or premium, it has a number of useful features.

Infobae brings some of Spotify's little-known tricks and tips to become a professional user of the platform.

1. Personalized weekly list

Spotify always has a series of custom build lists and recommendations. Every Monday it has “Your Weekly Discovery List” to suggest new topics and every Friday it has the news radar with releases. In addition, there are 6 daily mixes, which are varied playlists to suit personal taste.

To access it, you have to follow the steps below:

- Go to Spotify and click on “Just for you” in the left column.

- A screen will appear where you can find the section “Discover new music with its weekly discovery and news radar”.

2. Find artists related to favorites

One of the benefits of having a service with millions of songs is the ability to discover new music and artists. These relationships are based on the tastes of the community and other artists who listen the most and who are also fans of personal tastes.

- To get these tips, go to the profile of an artist who is of personal liking.

- Both on mobile and desktop, you will be able to see a section called “Your fans listen too”.

- If you click on it, you will be able to access a list of profiles of other related artists.

3. Retrieve the playlist that was deleted

If you ever change your mind about deleting one of your playlists or accidentally deleting one, this feature is great for recovering it.

- First, you need to access the Spotify website (not the Spotify app).

- Now, log in and search Restore Playlists in the left sidebar menu.

- Then select the playlist and click Restore.

This playlist can then be viewed in the app on all devices.

4. Descubrir Spotify Karaoke

Musixmatch, a company that more than 4 months ago partnered with Spotify to offer the lyrics, has decided to create its own application now that they are not integrated with the official one.

- Enter the official Musixmatch website and download its application for Windows or Mac.

- You have to run it, and as soon as it starts, the app will ask which application you want to use it for.

- If it doesn't say anything, it will automatically detect it and start displaying the lyrics.

- You can choose to see only the phrase they are saying now in the song or the full lyrics.

5. Infinite playlist based on favorite songs

If there is a song that does not stop spinning in the user's head and you want to listen to more similar songs, right-click on the song and choose the option “Go to song radio”.

An infinite playlist with songs related to the one being listened to will be automatically generated.

6. Find nearby concerts

There are many sites available on the Internet to watch concerts nearby, but since Spotify is being used to listen to music, it may be useful to know that concert dates can also be viewed in the app. For example, if you enter an artist's profile, there will be dates and places of their tour.

But there's more. In the mobile search section there is a Concerts section that you can also access from the “Discover” section of the desktop application.

In this section you can see the concerts of artists that may be of interest. You can change the city as desired.
