Spotify is one of the world’s most popular music streaming services. Spotify’s app is available across platforms. There are some key unique features of Spotify that make it stand apart from the competition.

Besides providing a good collection of high-quality music, Spotify also has features like multi-device, and music sharing and you can also create and share Spotify music code with your friends. Below we have discussed how you can find, make and scan a Spotify code along with its working.

A Spotify code is Spotify’s QR code, and by scanning the Spotify code, users will be able to directly access and listen to the content on the platform. Using the Spotify code, you will no longer have to type and share or copy and paste the links to listen to the songs, and albums on the Spotify app. Just grab the Spotify code and scan it.

The Spotify code can have anything from songs, artists, and albums to podcasts and much more. All of these have their own Spotify code. This code is made of a different series of lines. Irrespective of its form of existence it is scannable and the Spotify app can decode it easily.

You can even take a screenshot of the code and then share it with your friends, if not then you can also create a code of your own and then share it. Spotify codes can be generated on any platform using the Spotify app; however, they are visible only on mobile devices.

So, further, let’s see what is the use of Spotify Code.

The Use of a Spotify Code

Anyone who uses Spotify knows that the app has its links for every album, podcast and song. So, by scanning the Spotify code, you will be able to play the music that has been encrypted within the Spotify code.

Since the Spotify code consists of a link that redirects you to the Spotify app along with the music that is inside the code, people can also copy, and paste the same link to share the information stored inside the Spotify code, this makes the code system less intuitive.

But the same isn’t the case, as the Spotify code is very compact, and has visual graphics on the code, that make it appealing. Also, it is easier to gift someone a Spotify code, physically rather than gifting someone a URL.

The Spotify code has the link embedded, but it nowhere looks like a regular QR code or a link, it is beautifully disguised with Spotify’s own choice of designs.

Copying, pasting and then sharing links to different Spotify items can consume a lot of time, thus Spotify code comes into play saving the hassle and time as well.

Spotify code can also save space. As we discussed above, copy-pasting the URLs on Spotify can take up too much space while sharing. Thus, Spotify code can do the same easily, as it is just an image that holds a similar amount of information as a URL. On top of it, the Spotify code takes less time to create, and it takes even lesser space while sharing it.

How To Use Spotify Code

Since Spotify codes are downloadable and shareable on multiple platforms at the same time, this not only makes it easier for users to use the Spotify code but is also one of the nifty features that the company has implemented inside the Spotify code.

On the other hand, make sure to not use the Spotify code commercially as Spotify doesn’t allow it. However, you can use it for gifting it engraved in glass frames, and keychains or you can print it for personal use.

We can say that the Spotify code is a simple, elegant and seamless way to share music among your friends and family. You can also customize your Spotify code according to your requirements.
