9 hidden features of Spotify you need to know | SMMSUMO

Where radio went to
The radio function now hides behind the triple-dot button on an artist or album page, or next to a song in search results. Just tap the … button in the top right of an artist or album page or to the right of a song in search results and then tap Go to radio. In addition, you will find new artist radio playlists when you search for an artist. On the search results page for an artist, scroll down to the Featuring section of playlists and you’ll find one labeled as the artist’s Radio. These artist radio playlists are personalized to your listening habits and can be downloaded for offline use.

Use your voice
You can talk to the mobile app and ask it to play a song, artist, album, playlist, genre or just something you might like. Long press the Search button and ask Spotify to play you some music. It’s the fastest way to get to your music.
Scrub tracks on the iOS lock screen and Control Center
This one is iOS-only. Spotify offers song scrubbing from the iOS lock screen and Control Center. Now, if you want to jump to a different spot in the song that’s playing, you don’t need to open the app but can use the slider at the top of the lock screen or Control Center to scrub through a song.

View album or artist info
If you like what you are hearing and want to hear more from that artist, there’s a quick way to jump to more songs from that artist without needing to search. From the Now Playing panel, tap the triple-dot button along the right edge below the album artwork, scroll down and tap View Album or View Artist. The former is great if you stumble across a great song in a playlist and want to check out the album on which that song appears. The latter is great when you discover new songs from artists you don’t know and want find out more about these new or new-to-you artists and see the other music they have released.

Save your Discover Weekly playlists
The Discover Weekly playlist mig
ht be my favorite thing about Spotify. Each Monday, Spotify delivers 30 songs it thinks I might like, but every Monday my previous Discover Weekly playlist goes poof! Thankfully, there’s an IFTTT applet that will automatically save your Discover Weekly playlists each week. Set up the applet and it’ll create a Discover Weekly Archive playlist and save your 30 Discover Weekly songs to it each week.

Save your Shazams to a playlist
Shazam was the first app that blew my mind on my first iPhone ($1,000 at Amazon). I’m still amazed by it. Also amazing? If you connect the Shazam app to Spotify, each of your Shazams will be saved to a new playlist in Spotify called My Shazam Tracks. You can also do the same for SoundHound.

SoundHound workaround for missing lyrics
Spotify shows lyrics but only for select songs. Tap the Now Playing bar at the bottom of the app to expand it and you might see a Behind the Lyrics interface that shows you the lyrics of the current song playing along with other info about the song and band. If you don’t get the Behind the Lyrics treatment for a song, you can use SoundCloud to fill in the gaps. Install the SoundHound app and link it to your Spotify account. When you encounter a song for which you want to see the lyrics, just hop over to the SoundHound app, tap the listen button and SoundHound will recognize the song and start displaying the lyrics. You can even tap the lyrics preview to open a larger lyrics panel that will highlight each line as it’s sung for a karaoke-like experience.

Start a Private Session for guilty pleasures
On occasion, I need to hear some Whitney Houston. I’m not ashamed to say this, because Whitney’s voice might be proof of the existence of a higher power, and I say this as an atheist. Whitney is not a guilty pleasure, but because Spotify is always monitoring my listening habits for my Discover Weekly playlist, I worry that my love of Whitney might lead Spotify to believe I might want to hear from Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and the like. I do not wish to hear from these two artists or the like, let alone hear from them on anything approaching a weekly basis. So, when I need to get my Whitney fix, I flip on Spotify’s private mode to keep Whitney wannabes out of my Discover Weekly playlist. To do so, go to Your Library, tap the gear icon for Settings, tap Social and then toggle on Private Session. It’ll turn off automatically and conveniently after six hours of inactivity if you forget to go back and turn it off. Private Session is also good when you hand your phone and control of the upcoming musical selections to your kids.
