I want there have been extra choices right here. For instance, it could be nice if the top of 1 album may end result within the begin of an identical album, or if I may flip the characteristic off for albums and on for playlists. Nonetheless, it is good to have the selection, and I select to maintain this off.
Take heed to A number of Albums by the Similar Artist in a Row
I typically wish to queue up albums by the identical artist. There is not an easy approach to do that in Spotify, however it’s not inconceivable. Head to the profile web page for any artist, then scroll all the way down to the Discography part. You must see a Present all hyperlink within the prime proper.
Click on this and you will see all albums so as. Click on Play on the highest one and Spotify will play by way of each monitor in each album, from most up-to-date to oldest. You’ll be able to filter out singles and EPs in order for you; simply click on the arrow by the phrase All within the top-right nook and choose Albums.
Once more, this is not excellent. I might choose to take heed to an artist’s catalog in chronological order, versus beginning with the newest album and dealing my approach backward. The one strategy to get that’s to make a playlist, or to seek for a playlist made by another person.
Search for Playlists That Aren’t ‘For You’
You would possibly assume that playlists are the identical for everybody, however that is not true. Many are constructed mechanically by Spotify utilizing your playback historical past, which, if you happen to’re an album listener, means the playlist is full of a hodgepodge of tracks from no matter you’ve got acquired on common rotation in the meanwhile. This could make all playlists really feel the identical, however there is a trick to staying out of this rut: Search for playlists that do not have the “Made for” marker on the prime. These are public playlists curated by precise human Spotify customers, not one thing influenced by your private listening habits. I discover this technique of avoiding the algorithmic For You playlists helps me uncover new music as an alternative of simply rehearing acquainted tracks.
Seek for Albums With out Utilizing Your Mouse
Discovering an album in Spotify utilizing simply your mouse can take a number of clicks. The whole lot is rather a lot quicker if you happen to use the keyboard shortcut Management+Okay on PC or Command+Okay on Mac. It will convey up a search bar. Simply sort what you wish to take heed to and use the up and down arrow keys to browse to a end result.
From right here you’ll be able to hit Enter to open the album, artist, or playlist web page. You can too hit Shift-Enter to right away begin enjoying the present choice. It is the quickest strategy to discover and play one thing, albums included.
