News & Reviews:   Spotify

Remember when your favourite K-pop song suddenly disappeared from Spotify last week? As you already know, this was due to the expiry of the license agreement between Spotify and Kakao Entertainment. Fortunately, that should no longer be a problem.

If you suddenly can't listen to any of your favourite K-Pop songs on Spotify, you're not alone. Apparently, a majority of K-Pop songs on Spotify have been removed without warning due to the license agreement with Kakao M, the distributor and partner of Spotify.

Most people love to listen to a variety of songs, so you probably a huge list of songs you've liked on Spotify by now. But you don't always want to listen to the same songs, right? In that case, Spotify's latest update would be relevant to you.

For most people, Spotify is enough to enjoy music on a daily basis. But a bitrate of 320kbps is not enough for audiophiles, who demand CD-quality music to go with their expensive audio gear. Well, Spotify HiFi should be able to cater to their needs.

Earlier, we announced that Spotify just offered a new prepaid plan which Malaysians can pay on a daily or weekly basis. At the same time, the company will also increase the Premium Family price from RM22.40/month to RM23.80/month.

If you have always wanted to subscribe to Spotify, now could be the time for you. It seems that the company has added a new prepaid plan for Malaysians which is on a Daily and Weekly basis. Here's the breakdown of the prepaid plan.

Spotify has announced that you can now set a custom image for your playlist via your smartphone starting from today onwards, which gives you more options on how to customize your listening experience. This feature is now available on both iOS and Android operating system, so be sure to update your Spotify app if you haven’t yet.

If you talk about music apps, Spotify is easily one of the most well-known around. Leaving aside the company's strange decision to test a Stories-like feature, most of what it has in development can be considered useful. In fact, it's said that the app could soon be able to play files locally.

As we are getting closer to the end of 2020, Spotify has released yet another round of top artists, albums and songs of the year. Surprisingly, Spotify also released a #2020Wrapped list for Malaysians on their top tracks and favourites while going through this pandemic period. 

When something is seen as successful, copies of it will eventually appear. While Snapchat isn't that popular globally, many considered Stories a feature worth copying, especially for smartphones. Today, many platforms have an equivalent feature and Spotify is looking to follow suit.
