If you like to listen to music often, you probably already know this Spotify, a platform that enjoys high popularity around the world. It has a multitude of features to enjoy listening to thousands of artists of all genres, so using Spotify on Mac can be a great option. If you often use your computer for work, study or other tasks, it will be more enjoyable with music in between.
Do you have a Spotify account?
It may seem obvious, but you will not be able to use Spotify on any device without having an account. It will not matter if you are a premium customer or have the free version with advertising. If you do not have an account, you will only need an email account to create an account on the platform. If you also have an Apple ID, something that you surely have if you use a Mac, you can find the “Login with Apple” option . This option allows you to create a totally secure and private account similar to when logging into a platform with a Google or Facebook account.
Spotify app on macOS
Fortunately, the developers of Spotify have created an application for macOS that works like a charm. It is not available in the Mac App Store, but it is possible to download it from the company’s website. Once you have downloaded the installer file, you will only have to accept conditions and follow the indicated steps as with any other application downloaded from the internet.
Once installed you will be ready to enjoy the platform from your computer. If you were used to using the mobile application, you will see that there are obvious differences due to the size and resolution of the screen. However, you will find all the sections in the interface. On the right side you can find your friends’ favorite playlists , on the left you will have the albums, playlists of your library, as well as the possibility of accessing the tabs to explore , listen to the radio or go to the home screen.
In the central part is where all the core of the application is, since here is the part where you will navigate between the different contents of the service. The play bar will be located at the bottom of the screen. Therefore you already see that you will not lose any functionality by using this version.
Spotify web version
If you don’t want to install the Spotify application on your Mac, you can use the web version. Of course, Safari is not compatible with this, so you will have to resort to other browsers such as Google Chrome. In principle, with this browser you will not need to install any extension, although if so, you will be informed.
The interface in this case is identical in all supported browsers, regardless of whether they are on Mac or Windows. It is also very similar, if not identical, to the one found in the application. If you feel comfortable with this player, you can save it to favorites or as a direct access from the desktop or the dock in order to open it more comfortably as if it were an application.
