With Spotify, you can listen to your favorite music using your computer or smartphone. With this music-streaming service, you can sort your music by album, artist, genre, playlist, or record label. You can also decide to make your playlists public or private on Spotify. When your playlist is public, other people will be able to see what you’re listening to. On the other hand, you’ll be the only person who can see your playlist if you decide to make it private.
