Spotify on Monday has announced three new functions for account users Free or free that will be a joy, especially those who use the mobile app of the streaming platform. These, which are being deployed globally and you can find on your mobile, are Pick & Play, Search & Play and Share & Play.
The first, Pick & Play, responds to the main complaint of Free users. Always, those who used the free appoal app could only listen to albums and reproduction lists In random mode. That is, if you chose a concrete album or song, the app played a related playlist in which at some point, perhaps, what you really wanted to hear.
Pick & play works as the name implies; Now you can select a specific song from any list or album, press play and listen to that track immediately. This does not mean that you can listen to an album from beginning to end if you start by selecting the first. The random mode remains activated for these users And it will continue to reproduce it in the order that the app decides, but it is certainly progress. To listen to a complete album and in order, you will have to be Payment user or use the desktop app or the web version of the platform.
Search & Play becomes the same applied to the search function. Now, after looking for a topic and giving it to reproduce it, Spotify obeys you instead of getting into a radio from the artist or that genre of music in the hope that what you want to hear from arriving.
Finally, Share & Play allows Listen immediately a clue that someone shares you; Again, without getting into a random list.
These novelties arrive a few days after Spotify finally incorporated the lossless audio or losslessalthough this is exclusive to Premium users. The function allows format streaming Flac up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz In almost the entire catalog of 100 million songs. The deployment is taking place throughout October in more than 50 countries.
Spotify also recommends using Cable headphones Instead of Bluetooth, since this latest technology compresses the signal, losing information, and prevents enjoying the lossless audio in its fullness.
Shortly before the launch of the lossless audio, the platform had added the possibility of Send direct messagesAmong users. This function allows you to play the sharing icon in any song or podcast and send it to a friend. This generates a message application and, once accepted, you can chat on the content.
