With the web player in beta you’d forgive it for having missing features or broken functionality, but – and here’s the good news – I’m yet to come across either. Until now Spotify has only been available via dedicated desktop and mobile apps. This player works in any major web browser and doesn’t require you to install anything on your computer.Spotify have launched a new web-based player for streaming music from their library.Īlthough in beta the web-player puts 18 million tracks at your fingertips regardless of what OS or device you are using. If you’re on a shared computer, or you’re not willing to install one more app on your machine, Spotify Web Player is a great way to listen to your favorite songs.

This web player only works as long as you have an active internet connection. Second, unlike the desktop app, you can’t save songs for offline use. You might not notice this if you only occasionally stream music, but if you’re an avid music listener, you’ll immediately notice the change. Spotify Web Player is a great way to access your favorite music without installing an app, but the player comes with certain limitations.įirst, this web player plays music at a bit rate that’s lower than what you get in the desktop app. Drag this volume slider to the left to decrease the volume, or drag the slider to the right to increase the volume. If you use Spotify on another device, you can manage the playback for all your devices with the Connect to a device option in the mini-player.Īt the extreme right of the mini-player, you have an option to adjust the volume levels. Select the Queue icon to view your queued songs. In the right area of the mini-player, you can select the Lyrics option to view the current song’s lyrics. There’s also an Enable repeat button to play the current music track in a loop.

Then, you have the standard previous, play/ pause, and next buttons. You can shuffle your music by choosing the shuffle icon. In this mini-player, you have a heart icon that you can select to add the currently playing song to your Liked Songs list.
