News & Reviews:   Spotify

If you're using Spotify and want to block someone, your wish is finally coming true. Technically, it is doable when you contact customer service but you can now do it yourself on your desktop or mobile app.

For working adults, it's not too hard to pay for a few subscription services like Netflix or Spotify. In particular, Spotify Premium is a must if you get annoyed by ads. But what if you don't have an income? Well, Spotify now has a cheaper alternative for you.

Do you go for jogs without a mobile device but often wish you had some music? The days of MP3 players are over, but now you can listen to music with just a smartwatch on your wrist! Specifically, this is made possible with the latest Spotify update.

As one of the biggest music streaming services, Spotify has a lot of features to keep its large userbase happy. Of course, it also has to make money and premium subscriptions alone aren't enough. As such, the company has been looking into other areas like live events.

Last month, Android users finally got to enjoy and experience Clubhouse. Here, we spotted Spotify also launched their first social audio platform which is Greenroom, and it is available to Android and iOS users across 135 countries.

After Apple, it looks like Spotify will soon release its lossless streaming feature as well. A Reddit user named themonarc has discovered that a hidden HiFi menu can be accessed in the Spotify app by "quickly tapping the glitched icon" that briefly appeared on the Now Playing screen, which hints at the imminent launch of the feature.

Spotify has brought a design change to its Android and iOS app today. The new version of 'Your Library' allows users to explore their collections of music more easily and find saved songs/podcasts faster. Besides that, there are also different settings added for users to have more control over the content.

Facebook wants you to stay in the app even when you want to listen to music by releasing this Spotify miniplayer. From now on, users can directly play songs shared by others from Spotify in the social media app without the need to switch to the music app. It’ll be available on both iOS and Android and in 27 markets with Malaysia being one of them.

Based on a statement by gsmarena, it seems that Spotify has started rolling out the “Hey Spotify” voice recognition feature that lets you search and play songs without physically touching your phone. While not much is known in regards to when the feature will be available in Malaysia, it does give us a better idea of what to expect from Spotify in the coming months.

According to sources, Spotify have 'makeover' their web player and desktop app. It took 'months' of test and research to develop the new design to provide better and simpler useful features for the users.
