What Spotify is
Spotify is a revolutionary software package that allows you to listen to the songs you like and share them with friends. Spotify uses your social networking login to be able to share your musical taste with your friends. When you log into Spotify with Facebook, those that you have on your friends list are then able to see what you are listening to and are able to download your Spotify playlist free of charge.
Spotify had over 20 million users in 2012, meaning that the possibilities to download Spotify Playlists are endless. Great music from around the world can be shared with hundreds, even thousands of people in an instant.
How does it all work
Spotify was created in 2008 in Sweden. The company has made agreements with many recording labels and artists to be able to use their music free of charge to share with their users. Spotify is available on computers, tablets and smart phones, which means that no matter where you are you can access your Spotify playlist as well as being able to download Spotify playlists created by your friends. The music you add to your playlist is not your own music, although on some devices you are able to use the files you have already purchased and stored. All Spotify music is streamed to you on demand.
Spotify is a great option for devices with little storage capacity. The average song will take up around 5MB of space on your device, and having thousands of songs will limit the available space you have for other applications as well as your photos and other important uses. You can have playlists of thousands of songs right at your fingertips and not use up any of your phone or computer internal memory by using audio streaming.
Benefits of Spotify
At one point or another we have all heard a new song on the radio and loved it – but we have no idea who is singing or what the song is called. Spotify tells you all this information, and then lets you share the song with all the people on your social networks. Spotify also has a function that helps you to find new music that you will like. Spotify keeps a record of what you listen to most and can suggest new songs or artists that you may be interested in.
Spotify have agreements with certain recording labels and artists to be allowed to stream their music to you. Some labels and artists have declined to have their music available on Spotify. With more and more Spotify users emerging every day, more and more artists are joining the Spotify network.
You can download Spotify for free, and access a range of music. Fees and limitations vary depending on where in the world you live. With free access limitations can include a maximum number of hours per month that you can listen to Spotify playlists. Sometimes there is a limit on how many times you can listen to the same song. The free version of Spotify is made possible by advertising. Companies pay Spotify to place an advertisement before the song you want to listen to. This means that Spotify are being paid for your use of the software, and can pay your favourite artists for the use of their works. You can choose to pay a small fee per month for your own use of Spotify, which will remove all limitations on use, as well as remove advertising material.
