Go to an Album or Artist page (by searching or browsing) and tap the "Follow" button at the top. If you want to save an entire album or all of an artist's music, you have to "follow" them, like you do with playlists. Here's where things get fun (as in, confusing). That song will now show up under Songs, its artist under Artists, and its Album under Albums. To do this, tap the options button (circle with three dots inside) next to any song.

Here's how to pile music into Playlists, Stations, Songs, Albums and Artists.

It's where you can store and organize all the music you find on Spotify, the way you might if you were buying the music and organizing it in a place like iTunes. The very last tab in the app is Your Library. They tend to be well-curated and long - each one has at least 25 songs. The Genres & Moods section is a way to find playlists made by people on Spotify's team. The tiles at the top are playlists that Spotify thinks you'll enjoy, based on your listening habits. If you want to get lost in a sea of music - or maybe let music find you - go here. That feature isn't as good as Pandora's, but it suffices when you just can't decide on a playlist. You can go for one of the recommended stations, choose a genre, or tap the "+" button at the top to create a station based on a song or artist. Here's Spotify's attempt at giving you a Pandora-style option. After searching, scroll allllll the way to the bottom to see Playlist results. Search for something like "best rolling stones" to see if anyone in the community has made that playlist. Tap the Search tab, type the song name or artist, and you're set. This is where you go when all you really want to do is play "Love Yourself" on repeat. You got Spotify because you want to play music. 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.
