Spotify is one of the best-known computer programs of these times, not only in the music field but in general terms. It is a complete search and playback platform with a huge catalog and agreements with almost all major bands and records labels internationally, becoming undoubtedly the reference in its segment.

One of the keys to the success of this application has to do with the fact that it is completely free to download and use on computers, even when there are some limitations, such as the appearance of advertising or the impossibility of downloading our favorite albums and songs, it is a tool that will fulfill all our needs without problems to entertain us. At the same time, we work or at a party with friends.

The simplicity of use is another reason we could advise almost any user to download Spotify. Just open the application and enter the term Search in the box at the top left so that the system shows you all the results that are somehow related, whether they are particular topics, the albums that contain them, playlists in which they were incorporated, etc.

Beyond that, and if you are one of those users who prefer to have all their contents perfectly organized, you should know that this program also has a Libraryincorporated, ideal for organizing your songs, albums, etc. In fact, and although you'll be able to configure the organization the way you prefer, we have initial elements such as Artists, Albums, Genres , and Playlists . You will never lose sight of your favorite content.

We want to focus on this option of generating playlists since, thanks to them, you will not only be able to have all your favorite tracks continuously, but you can also become the DJ of your own or someone else's meeting. If you wish, you can share your playlists with other users so that everyone can use them, making them more famous as you gain followers on your account.

Then, the playback quality of Spotify music is another issue that gives it a certain advantage over the competition, especially considering that it allows you to reach 320 kbps in its Premium version, which, as we will discuss later, is not too expensive. As for the controls we can use, there are the basic ones, such as Pause, Change track, Volume controls , and the always attractive Aleatorium , ideal for parties or meetings.

On the other hand, this platform is also extremely useful in case you have a private Library or another similar program, such as Windows Media Player or iTunes, since it will allow you to open its folders and play from here. Suppose you have an iPod, iPhone, or Android terminal and download the Spotify app. In that case, you can control playback on your computer, with the same user experience you have for free on PC, superior to mobile.

A section that we liked is the Explore , taking into account that it is then divided into as many internal, allowing us to know many times new releases of albums or songs by famous artists and others that are not so much. If you like to discover new musicians, we do not doubt that this function will quickly fill your ears.

What other content does Spotify allow you to enjoy beyond your music library? We have some interesting ones, such as radio programs or podcasts, that have been added to your library. In the same way, it is possible to view videos of varied content or news from recognized international agencies of the caliber of ABC, BBC, or ESPN.

If you want others to know what you are listening to at all times, and especially if Facebook is your favorite social network, you should not miss the synchronization options between the two platforms. Indeed, not only can you open your Spotify account by signing up using the one on Facebook, but you can also send information to the social network to let your friends know what you're listening to at that instant.

As a small shortcoming of Spotify, which does not tarnish our overall analysis of the program, we must point out that it does not have its equalizer. It's not something that has diminished our experience with this program, but understandably, some users will want to have it. In this case, we recommend downloading the specific add-on called Equality.

As for the Premium version of this program, which includes a trial period of 30 days, we must say that it has a minimal cost of $9.99. What advantages does it offer? The ability to download music on the mobile to listen to it without an Internet connection, play the songs in a non-random way, remove all the annoying ads and advertisements, and listen to the songs in high-quality audio 320 kbps, of course.

In short, we can say that Spotify is one of those select programs we recommend having on your computer, no matter what kind of user you are. You may like one musical style or another and want to listen to music attentively or have it in the background while doing something else. What is certain is that with this application, you will find the song you are looking for, and for a minimal price, you will have access to unmissable functions.
