6 Useful Spotify Hacks You Might Have Missed
Digital Trends

I downloaded Spotify when I first came to college. It was one of those deals where they have discounts for students, so I decided to give it a try! That was over a year and a half ago, and I've loved Spotify ever since. It's crazy because there's still little tricks and hacks that I'm finding on the app. Maybe you know some of these already, but for those who don't, this one's for you!

1. Lyrics

This was one of the first hacks that I found on the Spotify app. It works better on my laptop than on my phone, but that could just be because Samsung is always a step behind on updates. Anywho, if you swipe down on the album cover, the lyrics will pop up. Who knew!!

2. Daily Mixes

Okay so this is one of my more recent findings, and I was pretty proud of it. If you head to your playlists in the apps, at the top there is a selection called "Daily Mixes." In the folder, mine usually has about five different mixes for me, each one covering a different genre, or "mood," of music. It's all of your favorite songs, and more, in a unique playlist designed for you!

3. Connect to Shazam and add songs you've looked up

This is one of the most convenient hacks, in my opinion. Sometimes I get a song stuck in my head or hear it in the coffee shop, but then can't remember it later when I want to add it to my playlist! Although I haven't hooked up Shazam yet (it's been a process seeing that I'm not a tech savvy person), once I get it figured out I'll have one less thing to stress about. How about them apples?!

4. Song Radios

Like a song? Want to hear more music just like it? Spotify lets you! If you click on the three little dots when listening to a song, Spotify gives you the option to go to the "Song Radio," a station that plays music based on your song selection. Can you say...genius!?

5. Going Offline

I always saw the "Offline" button, but I didn't really know what you would use it for. Once I let my friend log into my Spotify, I realized that going offline doesn't just save you data. If you download a playlist and then go Offline, you and a friend can listen on the same Spotify account at once! Going Offline has been so useful, especially when my friend and I are both on our way to class, so we have our headphones in.

6. Spotify "Anthems" on Tinder

Soooo, this one I found when I was on Tinder. I have since deleted my account, but this was a pretty cool feat when I found it. You connect your Spotify account to your Tinder account, and from there you can choose a song to play when people look at your profile. It's your "anthem" so that people have something to chat about other than wondering which one you are in a group picture. Saved by the anthem!!

That's it! Some of my favorite features that Spotify has. The lyrics are the best for some on-the-spot karaoke, and the Song Radios have helped me find songs that I might not have found on my own. There's also the Release Radar and Discover Weekly for finding new/different songs. I love Spotify, but I am always looking for other ways to listen to music. What's your favorite app/feature, and why? Let me know!!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
