APP OVERVIEW

What is Spotify and who is it for?

Spotify is a music and podcast streaming service accessible through the web. The installable version opens in its own standalone app window, separate from the browser, so listening stays in one place while you work or browse. It suits people who already use Spotify and want quick access to their music and podcasts without keeping a browser tab open. Open the web player, sign in, and use the standalone window to play tracks and shows.
