News & Reviews:   music streaming

Avid music listeners don't just stop at listening to music. Often, they want to know more than just who sang the song. They'll also want to know the other people behind the song, like the composer and lyricist. Spotify is introducing a beta feature to do just that.

When travelling, some people watch movies on the plane to pass the time. Others prefer listening to music. The latter would require you to have songs on your device, so you'd rely on offline features for platforms like YouTube Music. The problem is they won't come with lyrics.

Ever since Google rebranded Bard as Gemini, the AI platform has been shown to do many different things. It's been helping with quick Google searches to image manipulation, so we can expect it to do more as the platform improves. And it seems music playback is the next one.

If you are a music lover, you know that music streaming platforms offer you more if you subscribe to them. Unfortunately, YouTube Music isn't that great when it comes to features. With that in mind, the company has a new program to curate feedback.

Apple Music has levelled up its Spotify Wrapped-like streaming summary for 2022. The platform has added a "highlight reel" feature to the Apple Music Replay 2022, making the experience similar to browsing Instagram Stories.

When a feature is popular, there will inevitably be others that get inspired by it. There are plenty of examples in the industry, with Snapchat's stories feature being one of them. This time around, Spotify seems to have been inspired by a TikTok feature.

Quite often, some people enjoy the soundtracks more than the movie or TV series. Unfortunately, you usually need to buy an album to listen to the soundtracks. But what if you could listen to all of your favourite Netflix shows' soundtracks in one spot with Spotify (pun intended?)

When we listen to music, most of us also want to know the lyrics. But if you've used Spotify, you may have noticed that not everyone seems to have access to music lyrics on the platform. However, the company has now released the feature for all.

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.

For those who didn't know, Google's Wear OS 3.0 brought cool features to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. One of them is offline music, which was eventually added to Wear OS 2.0 devices. Spotify got this update last month, and now YouTube Music has the same update.
