Spotify Tips and Tricks
You can do a lot to improve your Spotify experience. Many of the users (this includes those who are using it regularly on an everyday basis) don’t know some of the features, such as sharing your music, getting amazing sound quality and filtering, that can actually enhance the whole experience of listening to music on Spotify.
Below are some of the tips and tricks that can help you in taking your Spotify experience to the next level.
1] Build your own library
You can start by building your own library to store various playlists and your favorite tracks. You can build your library by either adding your favorite soundtracks to playlists or by saving music to your own library. By using the plus/save sign, you can keep building your library as you add more playlists, albums, artists’ soundtracks, and podcasts. All the music you have saved can then be easily accessed through the “Your Library” option.
2] Creating a new playlist
You can create your own new playlist in “Your Library*. Simply go to the playlist category and you will a music icon on the top with a plus sign or alternatively, you can click on “Edit” and then “Create” to start your new playlist.
3] Save your favorite music and listen offline whenever you want to
Save your favorite music and listen offline whenever you want. If you are a premium Spotify user, you can download the music you like and listen to it offline anytime. This means you can listen to your favorite music even when there is no internet reception. You can download any music with this simple process. Those using Spotify on the Android platform can press the three dots and select “download,” and those using Apple can select the playlist, then press “download” at the top.

4] Stellar Sound Quality
Astounding sound quality- Spotify allows its users to enjoy an astonishing sound quality by making simple changes. You just have to go to the menu and select any one of the three options: Normal (96 kbps), High (160 kbps), and Very High (320 kbps), as per your preference, and you are good to go. The only thing you need to consider when choosing the options is how much data you can spare for music quality, because the Normal (96 kbps) option uses less data, and the very high option uses a lot of your data to stream the sound.
5] Search your own saved tracks
If you have a lot of soundtracks saved in your library and want to search for a specific album or playlist by artists from your saved tracks, you can do so on Spotify. Go to the subcategories in “Your Library” on your mobile, then pull the screen down. This will show the search bar at the top of your mobile screen, with an option to filter your search.
6] Control Spotify through keyboard shortcuts
Spotify allows its users to operate it using their keyboard. To start with, you can create a new playlist by pressing Control-N, you can play or pause the music using the space bar of your keyboard and you can increase or decrease the volume using Control+Up or Control+Down. If you want to go to the next track, you can do so by pressing Control+Right, and if you want to go to the previous track, you can do so by pressing Control+Left.

The infinite loop option is also available in the free version of Spotify. I tried it in the free version.
