10 Spotify Integrations You Can't Miss Out On
If I could blog about only one thing would be 100% music blog but capitalism deems that I need to diversify my profile. Instead, you get bits and pieces of music sprinkled in every single day on my Instagram. I’ve decided to break that wall and add more music blog posts to my website, and here is one of my favorite posts to ever come up with, because to me music is life. Now, some people will tell you that they’re all Music is my Religion- and that’s cool, I’ve only met one person as obsessed with music as I am. We're not here to judge music listening habits unless…
Instead, I'm going to make it more accessible for you, the average American to find more bomb music. I am going to show you my favorite sites to link to your Spotify account (hey, sorry B this isn’t for apple music fans) to give you an analysis and breakdown of your music listening habits. Meaning that you’re going to see either how eclectic or how basic your music tastes really are. Now, this might be hard for you because you're used to being “the cool friend” who introduces all your other friends to music. Let's be real here, the majority of us have two or three artists that we really liked and repeatedly listen to because we are afraid we're never going to find it artist half as good as the one we're currently listening to.
So, the following is a list created to help you analyze your music, realize your favorite artist is actually not Taylor Swift, and why you spend 1500 hours listening to Sufjan Stevens and how that makes you really feel.
This is part 1 of 2 blog posts that I will be doing in a series called Turn It Up or a guide to finding better music so that you're happier with your music collections.
A Full Breakdown of Your Spotify Account
The first website, I’ll call a full breakdown of your Spotify account, is this series of weird numbers. It'll appear (as a series of numbers) when you click on it, don't be alarmed it's kind of spooky but the guy wasn’t focused on buying a domain, he just wanted to create something cool for you.
Spotify Statistics
What I like about Spotify Statistics is that it basically gives you an ultimate breakdown of your favorite playlist and your favorite songs, artists, and genres. It's all so aesthetically pleasing which is a perfect bonus.
Obscurify
I think Qbscurify would have to be my favorite integration on this list. It's basically the Spotify connection to find out how unique your music taste is compared to other Spotify users. I ranked like 83%. An added bonus is that it also gives you underground recommendations.
Spotify for Brands
Spotify for Brands is directly from Spotify and it gives you a breakdown analysis of your music from the first time you signed up for Spotify all the way up to now. While it’s mostly for brands, it shows you your most-streamed artist and your most played song of all time. Also, it breaks down your listening habits every month and tells you how many hours you've spent listening to music.
Skiley
One of the reasons I like Skiley is that it's a lot more accessible than the web player for Spotify. One of the benefits that I like about it is that it doesn't lag as much as the Spotify website or web player. I feel like there's a certain delay when using the Spotify site directly. Skiley offers an alternative that's smoother. It also has an option to find new music and to save your discover weekly as a new playlist. Also, one of the best things that have is access to your history, sometimes you're listening to a song and you don't have time to save it but you've also can't find the music you listen to shares the website to help you. The downside is that the website is not aesthetically pleasing and it can be a little confusing. Overall, I think it's a great alternative to using the web player for Spotify
Sort Your Music
If you're into fitness I need loud music or heart-pumping music then I suggest you check out Sort Your Music. This Spotify integration app lets you sort your music with different parameters including EPM, length, artist, and more. So let's say you like to run to really fast-paced music you just go here and create your own playlist of intense music.
Spotify Charts
This option is for my top 40s fans, basically, you're looking for the music that is currently trending or is being played on the radio so you know cuz you want to be in the know. Spotify Charts shows the top 200 songs and the viral 50 in the nation. But say you for some reason want to check out what's trending in South Korea or in Chile, you can also do that. Not only that but you have the option to choose from days or weekly top hits. Essentially, this is a great list if you're down for the trending music.
uTrack (android only)
uTrack is an Android-specific app used to create a playlist from your top tracks. Kind of cool if you're listening to some great music together and you just want to immortalize this moment.
Replayify
Replayify is one of those apps that integrates with Spotify to tell you about the music that you basically just listen to. I know it sounds dumb but again if you're looking for a visually appealing Spotify history app it’s a great option.
Visualify
I have a lot of friends asking me all the time who I listen to, what I'm replaying over and over, and sometimes it's annoying to have to text or screenshot everything for everyone. So what I love about visualify is that you just log in with your Spotify account and then you copy your list creating a unique URL with Visualify that you can just send to your friends. It also shows the music you have been listening to about the longest so gives your friends a good selection of you.
Personally, year in review is probably the best thing that comes out of Spotify but here are some great options and alternatives to enjoy your Spotify subscription. As usual, if you want to stay in-the-know follow my San Antonio food Instagram account right here.
