Spotify is a much-revered application that focuses solely on music, both old and new. You can save and listen to songs, albums, and even entire discographies. It is amazing to see all of the different things the app is capable of. One very neat feature that people are taking advantage of is the private session feature. You can set it up yourself on your computer or smartphone with just a few clicks and taps.
