With nearly 100 million paying subscribers around the world, Spotify is the biggest music streaming service, delivering tens of millions of tracks to your phone, computer, car, smart speaker and other devices for a flat monthly fee. But whether or not you’ve given it a spin, there are a few helpful settings you might not know about yet, since the app for iOS and Android is constantly evolving to help Spotify maintain its lead.

Let’s show you five tips and tricks that should improve your quality of life when streaming Spotify.

Tweaking your audio quality to optimize for your storage and earphones

Spotify’s default audio quality settings are probably fine for most users. But if you have a nice pair of earbuds or headphones that can genuinely pick up on extra sonic detail, and you have some extra storage on your device, you might as well take advantage of what you’ve got.

To do so, tap Your Library at the bottom right, then the gear icon in the upper right, then go to the Music Quality section and tap the drop-down menus to the right to change Streaming and Download from “Normal” to “High” or “Very High.”

Note that if you’re using mobile data to stream to your device, higher quality levels can use up several gigabytes per month, so we recommend either an unlimited plan, downloading tracks on Wi-Fi ahead of time, or streaming on Wi-Fi to avoid extra data fees.

If you’re worried about higher quality levels taking up too much storage space for music downloads, the Android version of Spotify displays a meter below that shows you exactly how much space your tracks are taking up. To see this meter in the iOS version, tap Storage in the Settings section.>>>>>>>>https://tricksmentor.com/2019/11/5-tips-tricks-to-get-the-most-out-of-spotify-on-android-and-iphones/
