Spotify is bae. Hmmm…I think I actually used this term believably this time around.
Anyway, sometimes I work without music, and other times, with. I know that Amazon now has a similar service too, but I’m fine with Spotify now.
The beauty of Spotify is that I can listen to any type of music, create a radio station, or create a playlist. I mean, it’s great stuff. Do I want music from a favorite film, Top 40, R&B music from the 1990s, classic rock, Beethoven and Chopin, or even just A Hint of Bad-a$$? Well, Spotify is your tabula rasa…now draw. And then listen.
But back to the review.

OVERALL THOUGHTS: I think that Spotify is great, and I’m still discovering all of the great things about this service. I get to listen to music new and old, songs I haven’t heard in years, and songs I’ve been meaning to listen to. I was particularly impressed with the Browse section, which lets a user select playlists created by Spotify or music by Mood and Genre. What I didn’t expect was that Spotify would have a genre for the spoken word that allows a user to listen to speeches from American Presidents and major historical figures, learn languages, listen to poetry, and listen to audio books. There is even a playlist in this genre dedicated to the writer Edgar Allen Poe. I'd like to read, or maybe even thanks to Spotify, listen, to more of his work.
Overall though, I’m excited to have found a great resource to accompany the days and evenings I spend working on projects. I get to make Playlists based on my musical preference du jour—some with words, others without.

A SECTION BY SECTION RUNDOWN
BROWSE: I went over this a little earlier, but I didn’t cover everything. Other portions I didn’t recount include:
RADIO: Make a station based off of an artist, playlist, or song, for example. The catch is that it doesn’t just play a set of songs based off of one song, but also based off of how you rate a song. Give the song either a thumbs up or thumbs down, and the list will adjust to better fit your musical taste.

- a section dedicated to music at the top of the charts in the United States and globally
- new music that has been released
- recommendations from Spotify based on music you’ve selected

- The benefit of this is that there is an iterative quality that makes adjustments along the way.
- The goal here is that it will create a station that is more along the lines of my musical preferences, which is something that I appreciate.
SONGS: I don’t really know the purpose of this. I just drag individual songs that I like here, so far only four songs, one being a holiday song. I’m listening to it now.
ARTISTS: It includes the pages of the artists that you’ve decided to Follow. This section gives you the chance to see new music selections from the artist. All of the artists that you like will be in one place so that when you want to listen to this music, you have everyone that you like on one place instead of having to use the search box.
STATIONS: It includes radio stations that I’ve followed.

Great emoji too, the thumbs up. #randomthoughts PLAYLISTS: This is what I use most often. I have a few Spotify playlists—either created by someone or Spotify itself (whoever you are), and made a few playlists of my own. I will have to look into creating a Turns of Phrase playlist. That would be fun.
LIKED FROM RADIO: The songs that you give a thumbs up to on the radio are listed here.
In sum, I like Spotify and listen to it now on a regular basis. Maybe I'll figure out one day to sync to Facebook, which is the one thing I couldn't figure out. Otherwise though, Spotify is a useful resource that helps me to stay calm and collected while I complete projects.
That’s it. C’est tout. Talk soon.
