You need a Spotify account to use Stations, but you don’t need to be a paying member. You can also create stations based around a selection of musicians that you like.īut mostly Spotify Stations seems to be aimed at getting you listening faster, without any typing or searching, and helping you discover new music, something which it gets better at over time, as it learns what sorts of things you like.Ī lot of this stuff is in the main Spotify app too, but here it’s front and center, without any distractions. For example you could get a ‘Relaxing jazz’ station, or a ‘Workout’ one. These stations might focus on a genre, or a mood or activity. With that caveat out the way – Spotify Stations lets you listen to playlists (or ‘Stations’), rather than selecting specific songs or albums.
Spotify Stations is a more streamlined alternative to the main Spotify app, but before we get ahead of ourselves, it’s worth noting that at the time of writing this one is just for those in the US or Australia (though we imagine it will launch more widely over time).
There’s also Wear OS support, and once you’ve identified a track you can access it on Spotify or Apple Music with a link from Shazam. Shazam can now identify music that’s played through headphones on your handset, and can even go beyond music, using visual recognition to identify posters, books and more. If you don’t want it quite that ever-present then you can instead simply set it to start listening the second you launch the app, so you don’t have to tap any additional buttons.Īnd most recently ‘Pop-Up Shazam’ was added, which lets you identify music when using other apps without having to jump back to the main Shazam app. Originally this involved launching the Shazam app and tapping a big button on its main screen, but since launch the developer has added an ‘Auto Shazam’ feature, which allows Shazam to listen for music al all times. Questions? Feedback? Problems? We've got you covered.Shazam is far from new, and chances are you already know about it, but it’s worth highlighting as it has been improved over the years.īut first, if you don’t know what it is: Shazam can identify music by listening through your phone’s speaker.
