Spotify is robbery!!! Of course they’re doing better than apple,you hardly pay anything!! Musicians should be paid by the purchase of the song or album….

sorry is the sound included like the short ones ?

Hey man, thanks for this awesome tutorial .
I just wanted to know that you have used which app for making the recordings on mobile because most of the apps are not permitted by Spotify to make ss of registration page at least!

I am a 65 year old bar musician that is not very tech savvy. I'm in my car a lot and want to listen to good music so I wanted to download the Spotify app and give it a try. There's a lot going on in the app and was reluctant to dive into it but after watching your video I decided why not. Thank you for a very easy to watch and informitive video!

I just started using spotify and it's so annoying how I have to shuffle play after searching for a specific song. They're really money hungry. A lot of other things not available for free and it's really annoying

[@danielvasquez3463]

I mean if you really think about it, the artists that make the music you wanna listen to wouldn’t make any money by every platform offering music for free. When you look at it like pretty much the entire catalog of music in the world is accessible for only 10 bucks a month without ads, that’s actually pretty crazy. 10 bucks really ain’t that much bro.

[@pawkl]

Huge fact! like, I wanna listen don't miss me by Claire, But I got other songs that I don't like! This is so annoying.

[@SSukram_]

Sometimes I think it's better to download the song from the internet so I can listen without interruption.

[@dannymilea]

8:00 This is the 3rd video I am watching on Spotify use and NOBODY is talking about this: If you hit NEXT and you're listening to someone else's playlist (I'm assuming Spotify lets you find random playlists in search... you never mentioned this for some reason) - here's the question - When you hit NEXT song, why does it play a random ass song??
3rd video - no one is mentioning this huge pain in the ass feature!
Paid version too.

[@yoshigamer7234]

I don’t understand that either. It recommends these songs and when you hide the song it will play a different one.

Thank you for this ... it's very helpful. HOWEVER, I've been looking for several days to find a way to actually shut Spotify off or close the app. I started a song, and I can pause it but I can't seem to find the shut down control. I've even tried restarting my phone or shutting off completely. When the phone starts up again, the song is still sitting there ... on pause ... waiting to start up again. I'm sure it's using battery, and I'm really at the point of deleting the app to get rid of this frustration. Can you help me learn this???

[@payusavisit3482]

It has now been updated and even more difficult to understand. After searching for songs or artists, it doesn't show the list of songs or tracks the artists have or show the list of tracks you searched for. Even when you clicked on shuffle play, it also hid out the skip backwards, just only the next option that was given.
Or was it because I'm on the free version? I should be able to test out the options before subscribing 😅

[@bhamgaming27]

Btw if you don't have Spotify Premium and you hate that Spotify plays random songs and "adds" songs to your playlists then you need to add more songs to said playlist. If you have enough songs in that playlist then Spotify will not add more songs to play. I don't have a specific number but I have noticed that.

[@bhamgaming27]

It's basically Spotify's way of making sure you don't just put one song into a playlist and listen to it on repeat. Because to be able to listen to a song of your choice on repeat is a Premium feature. So they add songs to that playlist that are similar to that genre to make sure that doesn't happen but if you have enough songs in the playlist it won't do that. So do that or bite the bullet and buy premium

[@dubeeisbsishawijsbcisnnaiw4433]

@@bhamgaming27 yes... I tried creating a playlist for every song... didnt work..

[@dissidia8876fights]

Don't forget that you actually cannot listen to a song before adding it to playlist, because spotify will play any "suggested" song except the one you searched for or found.

they should allow comments like on youtube, under music and stuff, just make it optional, then they would get alot more people from podcasts and stuff, and spotify is alot more proffesional I feel in the way the menu works and when you pay for it there is no algorythm.

[@younggremlin4199]

Spotify is so confusing

[@joseoliver1981]

Very clear instructions. Finally, I had to give up my i-Pod Classic, which I loved (i-tunes w/ Windows 11 no sync, a mess). I have a question. Can one select a (and all its songs) from a given artist, and be able to "save" to play the whole album. Just placing a "heart" (love) check song, by song is rather tedious. I almost always for get the name of the song, but not the album it is in or the artist. Guess I would have to play and see. The sound quality and loudness over an i-phone (not Apple i-phone) is a question mark.

[@dissidia8876fights]

A word of warning. You either pay for spotify premium or enjoy random music (at least on mobile).
You cannot even search for a song and listen to it to see if it is the correct version, it will play random music for you.
Also if you create a playlist it must be 15 or more songs, otherwise spotify will add random songs that will play (also feels like they have more weight in shuffle mode?) And you cannot delete them, it will just add another song everytime you delete one.
