So, if you’re listening to Bon Iver and want to find similar artists, the artist radio function will do that for you. Spotify algorithmically creates radio based on every song, album, artist, or playlist on its platform. Adding someone else’s playlist to your library is just as easy, just go to the playlist and hit the heart symbol. From then on, all it takes is right clicking a song, or tapping the three dots next to the name, and adding to your playlist. The button is on the left in the desktop app, and at the top of the Your Library tab of the mobile app. Past that, there are new playlists and artist recommendations based on the kinds of music you’ve been listening to, as well as recommendations based on the kinds of music your friends have been listening to.Ĭreating a playlist is easy-click the New Playlist button, enter a title, and you’re good to go. Scrolling down past that, the Home page offers a smattering of algorithmically generated playlists made of songs you’ve liked and listened to a lot, as well as lists of what you’ve been listening to recently. On it, you’ll find popular, official playlists featuring big hits in popular genres like hip-hop and country, as well as the biggest hits for the country you’re streaming from. The Home section offers a bog-standard landing page for any service like Spotify. And that’s about it for navigation-let’s have a look at what you’ll run into in each section. Beneath that, you can scroll through the various parts of the Your Library and Your playlists sections. Three main navigation options sit on the left-Home, Browse, and Radio. In the desktop app, everything is laid out plainly. Given how much content it offers, using Spotify is remarkably straightforward.
