With the advent of streaming media and faster internet connections paired with unlimited access to the streaming library not limited to your phones storage capacity, it seems like music streaming us the way to go.
Spotify is the clear leader in the Philippine market (only Php 129) today, offering cheaper prices on some markets, even comparing it to the price of buying 1 box of pizza for a month.
I had tried spotify free for a couples of months and found the service to good, so i subscribed to premium. The pronise of adfree streaming and creating your own playlist and saving it offline so you could listen to it anytime was the deal maker. It means I could enjoy high quality music wherever I go and I have full control.
Here are some features that makes spotify great:
1. The weekly discover weekly playlist just for you. This is the best feature of spotify which gives you a playlist of suggested songs based on your listening habits. This feature keeps expanding my library weekly. I enjoy listening to new songs that are in sync with my personal preferrence. This absolutely makes monday more lively and awesome.
2. Offline Save (Premium). As described earlier, this allows you to save your playlist and bring it with you anywhere you go without the hassle of connecting online. This is a perfect feature if you are traveling to save data and battery at the same time.
3. Duplicate songs prompt. If you saved the same songs on the same playlist, it will automatically warn you. This is a neat feature compared to using windows media player which used to allow duplicate songs in my playlist and library which is a constant pain to me.
4. Share songs. A clip of the song you like can be shared on social media like twitter and facebook. This allows your friends to listen to that clip since player is integrated in the social media unlike just posting links.
5. Share your playlist, see what your friends are listening to realtime. This is a social integration feature in the app that allows you to see what your friends are listening to and even see their playlist if you have the same taste in music.
7. Recommended songs based on playlist ( PC ). This suggests more songs for the particular playlist you are on.
8. Tons of playlist. Although the browse category displays only the popular ones, there is a massive library of playlist to choose from.
9. May song categories. If you want to listen to retro music, simply select decades category and listen to the songs of the past. My personal favorite is the edm category. There is also blues, jazz, classical, rock, rnb, christian songs, comedy etc. Whatever drives your fancy, spotify has it, except for taylor swift songs :-(
11. Play music on 1 device and controll it either with your pc, tablet or phone. This is a great feature for me. I usually connect my tablet to the amplifier, then control spotify via my phone or pc wherever I am at home.
There are more features to spotify that you should discover. I'll be posting more of this next time. Feel free to leave a comment about your experience using spotify. If you haven't tried spotify yet, download it via the app store/play store.
