Spotify today announced that it now supports video podcasts across its desktop and mobile apps. The news arrives hot on the heels of the May 19 announcement that "The Joe Rogan Experience," one of the most popular podcasts, was becoming a Spotify exclusive.
Spotify has long been one of my favorite media streaming apps – perhaps even more so than Apple’s native Apple Music platform. But one thing that has always managed to grind my gears is how the playlist interface doesn’t even so much as display the number of songs you’ve added to it.
Fortunately, a solution for this problem now exists in the form of a newly released and free jailbreak tweak subbed SpotifyPlaylistNumberOfSongs by iOS developer Aleksilassila.
For many music streaming services, the premium sticker price is around $10, with some exceptions. Meanwhile, family plans that support up to six people are priced around $15. So Spotify has determined $13 is just right for a pair of people.
When Apple introduced iOS 13 last year, it also welcomed a new feature for Apple Music subscribers: real-time lyrics support, allowing listeners to follow along with the lyrics as the song is playing with a fluid animation.
Apple has been causing quite a bit of a stir over the last week or so, with App Store reviewers deciding that an email app has run afoul of the digital storefront's rules and, as a result, have blocked future updates unless some specific changes are made.
Apple is not a stranger to antitrust cases brought against it, and it's certainly not deaf to the complaints of developers, both part of small companies and larger entities. Which is good, because neither one of those things are going away anytime soon, it seems.
While Tidal may not have as many subscribers as Spotify or Apple Music, one of the benefits of the music streaming service is audio quality. And that trend continues with the latest addition to the service.
Music enriches our lives, both in terms of entertainment and as an emotional and spiritual release. With that in mind, it may come as no surprise that people often share songs with others. But this can become somewhat challenging when you learn that your friends are using entirely different music streaming platforms than you are.
It may seem like a trifling matter, but it really can be rather annoying when I trying to share a Spotify song link with a friend who uses Apple Music or another platform. Obviously, they won’t be able to use my link since they’re subscribed to a different service, and that’s where a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed SongShare by iOS developer Jeff Rescignano comes into play.
If you're a Spotify user, you may have voiced an opinion regarding the music streaming service's 10,000 song limit for your personal library. Well now the company is making a big change to how things work in that regard.
In 2019, Apple was rumored to be working on original podcasts, funding a variety of projects in an effort to capitalize on the obviously booming market.
The Joe Rogan Experience is one of the most popular podcasts out there, and it is becoming an exclusive for Spotify.
