Spotify
Download Spotify for free and in Danish and play the world's music, in perfect quality, legally and easily, streamed directly from the web.
Music accessibility and the internet have gone hand in hand ever since the beginning and it is obvious that music accessibility has only been improved. Many may remember when using programs like LimeWire and BearShare to download music files onto your hard drive. A process that not only took a long time but also contained a security risk in the form of viruses. In addition, your hard drive was also quickly filled completely because the audio files filled so much.
Fortunately, music has never been easier to access than today. Spotify is the ruler at the moment and it is for really good reasons. Unlike LimeWire and BearShare, you should not download the audio files with Spotify. For with Spotify, you stream the music directly from the program, and there is also the opportunity to download the music so you can listen even without the internet available.
Free or purchase?
Once you have downloaded Spotify, you need to create a user - or log in with eg Facebook. Then you can listen to all the music available in the Spotify library for free. The downside of listening with free is that you have to listen to some advertisements every half hour. It is quite understandable that Spotify cannot be advertising-free and free at the same time. If you get tired of the advertisements, you can buy them from them. Spotify is subscription-based, so you must spend a maximum of 99DKK every month. It is not only the advertisements that one does not need to subscribe to, there are a number of other benefits such as:
- Unlimited skips of songs
- Offline playback capability
- Higher sound quality
It should be mentioned that you can try the purchase version for 30 days without it costing you a penny. If various benefits have caught your interest, then you can advantageously visit Spotify's website and see your options here. There are, among other things, family and student discounts.
Multiplatform
Spotify is designed for all conceivable systems - Windows, Mac, Linux computers can all download Spotify without any problems. There is also the option to download Spotify for your smartphone and tablet, whether it's Android or iOS.
No matter which platform you download Spotify, you can always use the same user for them all. It is even possible to play Spotify from your computer and then open the application on your smartphone to switch between songs.
Future updates
Every day new music is released, so it is essential that a music service is quick to add the latest songs and artists. Spotify has branches in a number of different countries, and these departments keep an eye on local and international artists all the time, thereby ensuring that you can always find the songs you want.
We have used Spotify ourselves for several years, and there are extremely rare cases where we cannot find the song that we are looking for. There are also a number of podcasts available.
In addition to music updates and podcasts, the software itself should preferably be kept up to date and it does. Spotify has a number of language packages to choose from - including Danish, and their language range is immediately expanded. There is also often update that brings speed and design improvements.
Simple but user-friendly design
Spotify can be quickly recognized by the color combination of black and green colors, a contrast that is quite comfortable and fits nicely with most operating systems, whether for PC or smartphones. The PC version is also easy to find around. Settings, playlists, search functions, etc. are located right where you want them.
If you just want background music while you work, then it may be advantageous to use the radio function. The radio function automatically builds a playlist based on a band that you choose. It is also possible to choose a specific genre, so if you choose rock then the radio will automatically play rock songs that match your music taste.
The smartphone version is also simple to navigate in, whether you use iPhone or Android.
Possible alternatives
There is no doubt that Spotify's two main competitors are Tidal and Apple Music. Tidal, Apple Music and Spotify are really reminiscent of each other, but have few advantages and disadvantages. Time l is proud to have the sharpest sound quality of the three programs. In addition, Tidal is created in collaboration with Jay-Z, which means he has made sure his music is only available to this service. So if you really can't do without Jay-Z, then Tidal might be for you.
Apple Music is actually a pretty nice music service, but this service is undoubtedly made for Apple users, which is a breeze for many. Apple Music has also been criticized for not having as much music as Spotify. This could be because Apple Music has especially focused on audio books and podcasts, which are areas where Spotify is lagging. Both Tidal and Apple Music are subscription-based and cost the same as Spotify a month.
Conclusion
Music has never been as accessible as it is today, and we are grateful for that. Spotify is the most popular music service on the market, and even though the program has fierce competition. The basics are due to Spotipy's success in being fast on the market, and the huge selection of extra feature is truly the icing on us. Our favorite feature is undoubtedly the possibility of offline playback. Although you often have internet access, you can quickly be in a situation where offline play saves one's day. It may also be that you have limited data for one's smartphone, then it is quite obvious to create a playlist with one's favorite songs, and then download it for offline use while on one's home Wi-Fi. We always recommend to Spotify for friends and colleagues, and therefore we also highly recommend Spotify to you. Remember it is completely free, and if the advertisements go you on, then there is always a 30-day trial, which is also completely free.
