The Spotify app is available for many devices, including Windows, macOS, and Linux computers, as well as iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. Music can be browsed or searched for via various parameters, such as artist, album, genre, playlist, or record label within Spotify. Currently Spotify provides a large music catalogue of 40+ million songs.

Spotify is offering two tiers of subscription plans, Free and Premium. Specifically speaking, Spotify Free is available to anyone at no cost but with ads.
