The tips here work for desktop, but if you're following along, do so with the phone app. I realized I wasn't going back to buying music the old-school way, though, so I finally did the thing no one has done before: mastered Spotify.

One thing is for sure: it's not Spotify's app that drew such an enormous crowd - and it's certainly not the thing that will keep people around. Apple Music has about 13 million subscribers.
Spotify has about 30 million paying subscribers and nearly 90 million users total, which is more than any other music-streaming platform out there. Plus, the family plan just got a price cut, giving you up to six users for $15.99. Most of the music I like is on the platform and its partnerships - with Apple CarPlay, Samsung Smart TV and lots of others - make it accessible almost everywhere. (Song queue, anyone?) Spotify's app makes me feel like I'm at Costco, looking for a giant block of cheese, but the people with the samples keep throwing me off course.īut I love Spotify. I'm a three-year veteran and still stumble upon features that have probably been there all along.
