FAQs – How to Use Spotify<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Q1: Can I use one Spotify account on multiple devices?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nYes, but only one stream at a time<\/strong> is allowed per account. If you try playing something on your phone while it’s already playing on your laptop, one will pause. For multiple people to listen independently, consider a Duo<\/strong> or Family<\/strong> plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\nQ2: What\u2019s the difference between \u201cLike,\u201d \u201cFollow,\u201d and \u201cAdd to Playlist\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Like<\/strong>: Saves a song or album to your Library.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Follow<\/strong>: Subscribes you to an artist, user, or podcast.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Add to Playlist<\/strong>: Saves the track to a specific playlist (but doesn\u2019t appear in Liked Songs unless you also tap the heart).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Q3: Are all songs available on Spotify Free?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nYes and no. Spotify Free users can access the full library, but on mobile, playback is restricted to shuffle mode in many playlists. Some albums or songs are also \u201cPremium-only\u201d until a certain release window expires.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
