The gift I’d give: Sony LinkBuds S x Olivia Rodrigo

Why it makes the perfect gift: The Sony LinkBuds S x Olivia Rodrigo headphones are my ultimate holiday gift pick because of one key feature: Spotify Tap. Once I pop these in, I can effortlessly dive into my favorite tunes with a single touch, which is super convenient when I’m running errands or on the train.

Abby Stewart

Business Development Director

The gift I’d give: Amazon Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen)

Why it makes the perfect gift: If I didn’t already have one, the gift that would top my list is Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen). It’s a must-have in the kitchen, and the way you can easily connect Spotify to your device is seamless. The HD touchscreen makes it easy to find the perfect playlist or podcast to start my day. The audio quality is top-notch and loud enough to be heard over the blender while making my morning smoothie.

The gift I’d give: Sony PlayStation 5

Why it makes the perfect gift: My two favorite after-work (and weekend) pastimes are listening to music and gaming, so it makes sense that one of my favorite Spotify integrations is the one on the PlayStation 5 console. As someone who gets endless entertainment from my PS5, from watching some of my favorite TV series to listening to Spotify’s Gaming hub, where I’ve discovered new tracks from some of my favorite games, it is the perfect gift for any gamer.

Since 2018, Spotify and Samsung have been a match made in heaven. The partnership between the two has allowed Samsung users to seamlessly connect their devices so that the music never has to stop. Fast-forward to 2022, and we’ve got more exciting news to share for Samsung users who are looking to play their favorite hits and top podcasts on their devices.

Bring music to your virtual hang with Spotify Group Session via Samsung and Google Meet

Music has the power to both focus our mood and bring some extra vibes to a virtual hang. With the introduction of Spotify Group Session on Google Meet, Spotify Premium users on Android phones can start their listening sessions during a video call with a few simple steps. By tapping the three dots in the lower right-hand corner of a Google Meet on their phone, the host will see the option to kick off a listening session and invite up to eight friends to join from their individual Spotify Premium accounts so they can listen while they hang.

Seamless listening on Galaxy Watch

Running errands, out for a run, or just loving that hands-free lifestyle? Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro users can make the most of Spotify with Google Assistant on WearOS. That means that with a few simple commands through “Hey Google,” your Samsung Galaxy Watch can play music, pause podcasts, or raise the volume.

New Galaxy Buds bring listeners the best of audio

Whether you’re on the train, in the car, or just sitting at home jamming to your latest album obsession on Spotify, the new Galaxy Buds2 Pro let you crank up the audio. These earbuds, which are enabled with Spotify Tap™, allow you to start playing your personal soundtrack instantly with a quick Tap & Hold.

More devices to love in 2022

When you get a new device, the last thing you want to do is fiddle with an app store in order to dive into your music or podcasts. If you buy a 2022 Samsung Smart TV or Samsung Galaxy smartphone, Spotify will be preloaded globally, making your shift to listening even easier.

Enjoy All Your Music and Podcasts Offline on Smartwatches Running Wear OS

August 11, 2021

Music and podcasts have the power to move us—but what if they could also move with us? Forget controlling your favorite shows and the latest anthems from your phone or computer: Sometimes you need the freedom to dive into any song or episode on the go. With our latest update for smartwatches running Wear OS, including the new Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic, audiophiles will soon be able to do just that.

In the coming weeks, Spotify users will be able to play their favorite playlists, albums, and podcasts with their smartwatches that run Wear OS. By having Spotify on your wrist, you’re more free to run, dance, shop, cook, and socialize—and control your music and podcasts at the same time. Plus, we’re excited to unveil one of the most requested features by our users: the ability to download all of your favorite music and podcasts to your smartwatch.*

With this new feature, Premium users will be able to download their favorite albums, playlists, and podcasts to listen offline. Free users will be able to stream their tunes in Shuffle Mode using a WiFi or cellular connection, as well as download any of their favorite podcasts directly to the watch.

Here’s how:

From your watch, find the music and podcasts you want to download on your watch.
Tap “Download to watch.”
To check on the progress, head over to the Downloads section on your watch.
Once the selected playlists, albums, or podcasts in your library are downloaded, you’ll see a little green arrow next to their names.
Connect your headphones and start listening, no matter where you are!

This new experience follows a reimagined app and new sleek design that make the Spotify experience for smartwatches running Wear OS better than ever. Beyond seamlessly playing, pausing, and skipping tracks or podcast episodes, you can also control playback for everything from wireless speakers to TVs to gaming consoles using Spotify Connect—and directly from your wrist.

Look out for Spotify on smartwatches running offline Wear OS from the likes of Fossil, Mobvoi, and Suunto rolling out over the coming weeks. Head to Google Play to download the app or update your watch to the latest version. Once the new features are available, you’ll be on your way.

*Requires your smartwatch to run at least Wear OS 2.0 or higher. Please make sure you are also running the latest version of Spotify on your device.

Here’s How to Play Spotify on Samsung’s Recently Unveiled Devices

February 11, 2020

Some things, while great on their own, are even better together. Think cookies and milk, Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus, and Spotify and Samsung. Spotify was named Samsung’s go-to music service provider in 2018. Since then, the partnership has expanded to create an even better experience for users, culminating in made-for-Spotify integrations on Samsung’s newest devices. Now that’s a match made in music heaven.*

Spotify comes preinstalled on millions of new Samsung devices globally. That means users can start playing their favorite music and podcasts as soon as they start up their new devices. And the latest integrations on the Galaxy S20, Galaxy Z Flip, and Galaxy Buds+—just revealed at Samsung Unpacked—provide more ways than ever to play, share, and listen to Spotify.

Here’s what users can look forward to.

Samsung Galaxy Buds+ x Spotify

Whether you’re on the train, in the car, or still rushing out the door, you can start Spotify with a single touch on the new Samsung Galaxy Buds+. That’s thanks to the latest update rolling out soon to Android devices. Just put on your Buds+ and get the tunes playing with a simple long press. We’ll start playing wherever you left off—or, if you weren’t listening to anything, you’ll hear something new that we think you’ll like. Not feeling it? Press again and we’ll dig up something just for you.

Samsung keyboard integration

Ever heard a new song that you just had to share with friends? Soon it will be easier than ever to quickly search and share music from Spotify. That’s because Spotify will be integrated directly into the Samsung keyboard. Songs, albums, and playlists are sent through a generated link that, once tapped, brings you directly to Spotify or to a page to sign up for an account.
