The app is available on PCs, Macs, smartphones, tablets, smart TVs and game consoles. It is currently available in 178 countries. In addition to the music service, Spotify also has a podcast library of more than 2.2 million titles. You can even get intelligent recommendations based on what you are listening to.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">The most basic version of Spotify is free, but to get the most out of the service you need to buy a plan. There are four different plans, all of which are relatively affordable. If you are a student, there are two plans specifically for students at accredited colleges. You can also sign up for a family plan, which lets you share your subscription with up to six people.</p>

You can even control your playlists remotely using a Chromecast or Amazon Echo.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">Another cool thing about the mobile version of the app is that you can share playlists with friends. Not only can you play music on your phone, you can also change the tracks and volume to your liking. You can also use the mobile version of the app to create party mixes and listen to your favorite tracks while on the go.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">For music buffs, the app is a treasure trove of music and it is easy to find new acts and albums. The app even has a feature that will help you locate the best local bands, as well as up and coming international ones. In fact, the list of artists you can search for is longer than the ones you already know. You can also use the app to make your own playlists and follow other users. You can even check out what your friends are listening to with the "Now Playing" feature.</p>

The leftmost navigation bar lets you access your playlists and other music related content. The top center of the screen is the main feed. There is also a smaller search bar on the right side of the screen.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">The best part about the app is that it works on most devices. It is compatible with both iOS and Android platforms. You can download the app from the device's App Store, or sign up for an account on the website. Once you've signed up, you'll need to input your personal information and payment details. Once you've created an account, you can start listening to music, and the app won't eat up your phone's battery. The home page is a summary of all of your recent activities.</p>
