Spotify Pros and Cons

We are going to list the pros of Spotify first.

Huge Music Storage is available. Spotify's free and paying users both had access to the same library of "more than 40 million songs."

Spotify provides various subscription services. Spotify offers free and paid membership. Logically, with Spotify free, you aren't allowed to enjoy many features that Premium account offers. However, with Free account, you can listen to the music you love on the go, create your own playlists, discover new music, share the music and the playlists with your friends, and more. But, if you choose to subscribe to Spotify Premium, you get to enjoy the full Spotify experience.

Support many popular devices. You can listen to Spotify pretty much everywhere. That includes your PC, smartphone, connected devices, PS3 or PS4, Smart TVs or any car equipped with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. In this regard, it doesn't matter if you pay for Premium, as Free users connect to all of the same devices.

Simple To Use. When it comes to Spotify, everything is so simple. You will easily find all the things you need, organize your playlists, explore new music, listen to the radio, and more. Exploring all its features and things it offers is quite an enjoyment.

There are some cons of Spotify. Let's see what it is.

Dark mode is the only theme for all apps and web access.

Spotify Free has its limitations. With a Free account, you'll hear ads between tracks. What was worse, you can't stream specific songs on demand, and you're only able to skip a track 6 times per hour. Sometimes you'll hear a mix of similar tracks from other artists to what you're playing.

Very limited access to song lyrics. Many of us love reading the lyrics when listening to the music. Spotify had its own lyrics feature, but they decided to remove it. You can use Genius' Behind the Lyrics if you want to know the meaning of the lyrics, and you can also use SoundHound to read see the lyrics of your favorite songs.

You can't own the songs even with Spotify Premium. With Spotify Premium, you can stream music and listen to them without an internet connection. However, you can't download the music and play them without Spotify. Let alone share them with your friends as you like.

These are the advantages and disadvantages of Spotify. It has many perks, which is the main reason why millions of people enjoy using it.
