Description
Songs are scattered across different services, downloaded files need sorting one by one, and a new computer means your playlists are gone. Spotify puts the catalogue, playlists and podcasts in one client: sign in and listen online, free if you like, with playlists and saved items following the account, so the phone, the desktop and the browser all show the same library.
The free tier comes with ads and mostly shuffled playback, while a paid subscription unlocks on-demand playback and offline downloads. Your library sits on the left, the home page in the middle with trending songs and artists, and the search box at the top finds songs, artists, albums and podcasts. The Windows build comes from the official site and needs a signed-in or newly registered account.
Online catalogue: millions of songs and podcasts stream without downloading first, and the search box finds songs, artists, albums and podcasts
Playlists and library: build your own playlists and save albums, artists and podcasts, all listed in the library on the left and synced across devices with one account
Home recommendations: the home page suggests trending songs, popular artists and top albums and singles based on what you listen to, so you skip digging through charts
Podcasts: switch between songs and podcasts inside the same app, and followed podcasts notify you of new episodes
Free and paid accounts: the free tier plays straight away with ads, while Premium adds an ad free experience, on-demand playback and offline downloads
Sync across devices: the desktop client, web player and mobile app share one account, so playlists and saved items are there on a new device
