Just like WhatsApp is the app par excellence for texting with your friends, Spotify is the most used app for listening to music. It has a browser version, a desktop version for the main operating systems and, of course, for smartphones and tablets. We are going to explain, step by step, how to share the lists or songs that you like.
Something very interesting about the application is that we can create playlists. We also find third-party playlists on Spotify and the platform generates its own lists. You should know that you can share them without any problems.
The platform has a desktop version for Windows and macOS, as well as a web version. Regardless of the version of Spotify we use, we can share any list and the process is simple:
- Click on the “Lists” button located at the top left side.
- We select the playlist we want to share
- Click on the three dots next to the “Download” button.
- Within the menu, look for the “Share” option and click on it.
- Now, in the submenu, click on “Copy link to list”.
Now you have the link and you can send it via WhatsApp, Telegram or publish it wherever you want. It is even valid for lists that we do not have saved in favorites, for podcasts or albums.
Sharing a list from your mobile
It’s not much different than the desktop version, but there are some aspects that change slightly. Just follow these steps:
- Tap the “Your Library” button at the bottom right of the app.
- We access the playlist we want.
- We have to click on the three dots next to the “Download” button.
- A menu will open and now we must click on “Share”.
- We can copy the link or directly share the list on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and other social networks.
You should know that this option has several buttons that allow you to change the background when sharing. It has a few predefined ones that are not very interesting and, unfortunately, cannot be customized.
Something that not many people know is that we can share a Spotify playlist or song simply with a QR code. This option requires a few extra steps and can be a bit cumbersome. You can do it like this:
- Get the link as we have explained.
- Now, head to the Spotify QR code page.
- Paste the link into the corresponding box.
- After this, click on the “Get Spotify Code” button.
- Accept the terms of use of the service.
- Next, it will let us change the background color, the bar color, the image size and the format.
- Once we have it, click on the “Download” button.
- The QR will be downloaded to your device and you can share it with whoever you want.
You should know that it is not a conventional black and white square QR. In this case, it is more like a rather interesting audio wave and we can customize the color.
Maybe you were browsing or using the new AI DJ feature and liked a song. You can easily share it.
The process of sharing a song is not really that different from sharing a playlist. To do so, you need to follow these steps:
- Click on the three dots of the song you want to share.
- In the menu that opens, scroll down to “Share.”
- Now, in the submenu, click on “Copy link to list”.
This is the mechanism to get the link that you can share with whoever you want. You can do this with all the songs you like from a playlist, artist or group.
It’s not that different from the previous process or processes, let’s not kid ourselves. Spotify wants to make it easier for us to share those songs (or playlists) that we’ve liked. To do it on your mobile, follow these steps:
- Enter the application and access the song.
- Click on the three dots to open the menu
- You have to click on the “Share” option
- Here you can copy the link, share it directly on social networks and change the background design.
As you can see, it’s an extremely quick and easy process. Now you can share the music you like with your friends and family (or on social networks).
