Whether you’re curating a playlist for your dorm, promoting an artist at a live show, or simply sharing your favorite album with friends, Spotify Codes make it easy to bring your listening experience into the real world. These scannable, QR-like tags allow you to quickly share and access any piece of content on Spotify, no typing or searching required.
What are Spotify Codes?
Spotify Codes are unique visual tags that can be scanned using the camera on your phone or within the Spotify app. Once scanned, they instantly take listeners to the linked content, whether it’s a song, album, playlist, artist profile, or even a branded page.
Using a Spotify Code is a breeze. Here’s how to scan a Spotify Code:
Open the Spotify app on your phone.
Hit the Search tab, then tap the camera icon in the top-right corner.
Point your camera at the Spotify Code and let the app do the rest.
You can also create a Spotify Code:
Open Spotify and find the content you want to share.
Right-click on the content and hold “Option” (Mac) or “Alt” (PC) or tap the “…” icon on mobile or desktop.
Select “Share,” then “Copy Spotify URI.”
Paste the URI into SpotifyCodes.com, customize the design, and download your code.
You can adjust the color, size, and format to suit your needs, whether you’re designing flyers, posters, social posts, or stickers.
A few quick notes
Spotify Codes are designed to make sharing easier and more visual. However, if you’re planning to use them on physical products for sale, be sure to get the necessary permissions from the appropriate rights holders.
Spotify Codes offer a seamless way to share what you’re listening to online and off. From building community through a collaborative playlist to spotlighting an up-and-coming artist, these codes bring your musical world to others with just a scan.
At Spotify, we’re committed to delivering a world-class, personalized experience for every user. To continue to innovate on our product offerings and features and bring users the best experience, we occasionally update our prices.

New subscribers can find the latest pricing by visiting spotify.com/premium.

We’ve all been there before. You download an app, use it daily, but never think to check if it needs to be updated. Maybe you hear buzzing from those around you about a new feature that you just can’t seem to find.
At Spotify, we’re continuously working to provide the best experience for you, and that means pushing app updates that improve your listening journey. And if your app doesn’t have automatic updates, or you don’t check that it’s up-to-date regularly, it’s possible you could miss out.
Here are four reasons why you should make updating Spotify part of your regular routine.
1. Access to the newest features
We’re constantly dropping new features on the Spotify app to enhance your experience. Now, you can listen along with your friends with Jam, you can receive a personalized playlist that changes with your day with daylist, and Premium users can hear from their very own AI DJ just by pushing play. If your app isn’t updated, you may miss out on the fun.
2. Keep up with the latest tech
From Tinder and Instagram to BeReal, Spotify has dozens of integrations across some of your other favorite apps. To make the most of these partnerships and link up your Spotify account, both apps need to be updated to the latest versions.
3. Bug fix
We’re always improving the mobile experience, fixing bugs, and troubleshooting glitches—keeping your app up-to-date is the best way to make sure your streaming experiences run smoother than our Smooth Jazz playlist.
4. Get ready for Spotify Wrapped
Last, but certainly not least, an updated app keeps you ready for Wrapped. When the time comes for the big reveal, instead of refreshing your app at the eleventh hour, you can get right into the Wrapped experience by making sure your app is always up-to-date.

Music is the great connector. It unites us across markets, ages, backgrounds, languages, preferences, political leanings and income levels. At Spotify, we believe in music for everyone—and today, we are one step closer to making that a reality as we unveil a new, improved, and more personalized way to discover music and listen to what you love on Spotify, for free.
The new ad-supported Spotify is a natural next step as Spotify continues to innovate and evolve for the needs of our users, and will be rolling out globally to all users of Spotify on iOS and Android. With a new design on mobile, Free on Spotify includes a number of new features to make the listening experience more tailored to what you need to hear, now.
“Our customers always tell us that music discovery and listening is a personal experience, and we are enhancing the free experience with this in mind,” said Babar Zafar, VP of Product Development at Spotify. “This is the beginning of an evolution for Spotify and we will continue to make improvements that mirror our customers’ needs. This is not only about giving users a more customized free experience from the day they sign up, but giving them more control over their listening experience so they can easily find and stream their favorites anytime, from anywhere.”
On-demand playlists
We want all users to have more control over the listening experience so everyone can both discover new artists and return to old favorites. Fifteen new on-demand playlists offer the ability to pick and play any track within our curated lists—without skipping tracks or waiting on shuffle to bring up the music you love. These on-demand playlists will be unique to you, based on your musical tastes, and may include Spotify-curated playlists ranging from RapCaviar andViva Latino toUltimate Indie andAlternative R&B as well as personalized playlists like Discover Weekly, Release Radar, and Daily Mix.
More personalized
With Spotify for free, users gain easy access to favorite songs and discovering new music is made simpler—and it’s personalized for you. When you sign up, we’ll ask you about the artists you love, and we’ll deliver curated playlists that match your musical taste and personalized playlists, like Daily Mix. These new playlists are easily accessible on the new Home screen, which is always being updated based on your listening activity.
Make Spotify yours
Tell us which songs and artists you LIKE ♡ (or HIDE⃠)as you listen. Tap the ♡ to quickly save songs to your Favorites playlist and tap the ⃠ icon to hide songs you don’t want to hear. Recommendations will improve the more you listen and denote preferences.
Create your own playlists
Playlists are the key to creating a mood, whether it’s morning workout or weekend dance party, and now it’s even easier to create and edit a playlist with Spotify. Just give your playlist a name, search and preview specific tracks, and add to your playlist. As you save songs, we’ll continue to suggest more songs that we think you will like.
Play music using less mobile data with Data Saver:
Music should be accessible to everyone, in every market—the love of a great song is what connects communities and cultures across the world. But many users of Spotify for free around the world aren’t able to enjoy music whenever they want, because of the volume of mobile data streaming typically uses. That’s why we created Data Saver, a simple toggle switch that optimizes the listening experience to use less mobile data when listening to music.
The new free experience will be available on iOS and Android and will be rolling out globally to all markets in the coming weeks.
