4 little-known tips for mastering Spotify

Keep your music library fresh

That playlist you made last year when you decided you are only going to listen to UK drill music from just one obscure producer? It might just need an update. If you have Spotify Premium, you can just tap the Énhance” button at the top of the playlist to let the app suggest personalised song additions that match the other songs on the playlist. This uses Spotify’s algorithm to automatically add recommended songs that match what you already like.

Navigate your library easily

If you have a hard time sorting through all your saved tracks, the “Your Library” search feature on mobile is your best friend. Just tap the search icon to look for a particular song or artist, or sort your music by using the ‘Recently Played”, “Recently Added”, Älphabetical” or “Creator” filters.

Personalise your playlist with an image

One way to take your playlist game to the next level is to add custom cover art. On the Spotify mobile app, tap the three-dot icon next to the play button and select “Edit to upload a new image from your phone’s gallery. If you are using the web or desktop player, you can just open the playlist and click the existing cover image to change it out for something new.
