With 70 million paid subscribers as of January 2018, Spotify is by far the most popular music-streaming app. I have always found it pretty exciting and enjoy listening to it while working on the computer.

Thanks to several neat shortcuts, using this music app on the computer is a bit more smooth sailing. Haven’t given them a try as yet? I have rounded up a number of Spotify keyboard shortcuts for Mac and Windows PC, which would help you liven up your music time.
- This Mac app creates a menu bar shortcut to control iTunes, Rdio, and Spotify. Not only does it come with embedded music controls, but it also displays album art, shares tracks to Facebook, and displays notifications when a new track is played.

These keyboard shortcuts are pretty simple, and you will be able to easily master them. And once you have remembered them, controlling music will become dead simple!
Keyboard shortcuts offer you an alternative means of moving around Spotify. It’s perfectly fine to navigate your way around the Spotify window by using a mouse; selecting menus to achieve tasks, and clicking or double-clicking here and there. It’s an extremely intuitive way to go. But at times, you might want to use keyboard shortcuts.

Spotify Keyboard Shortcuts for Mac and Windows PC
Over to You!
Now make the most of these easy shortcuts to rev up your music experience. I’m sure they will be of great help.
Apple Music has emerged as the biggest competitor to Spotify. Due mainly to the huge library of songs and rich content, Apple’s music-streaming service has become a strong rival.
Though it’s still far behind (with around 30 million active users), many believe that it will soon become the number one music-streaming app in the United States.
Personally, I have enjoyed listening to both of them. As a user, I would really like the competition to get stiffer as it’s only then the best would come.
What’s your take on the rivalry between Spotify and Apple Music? And, which one do you find a step ahead on all fronts? Do shoot your thoughts in the comments below.

Control features on your Mac
By default, the top row of keys on your Apple keyboard control many different features on your Mac. For example, pressing the keys with speaker icons adjusts the volume.

Use standard function keys
Standard function keys work differently depending on the app and the keyboard shortcuts that you've set up. Some apps have their own keyboard shortcut preferences that you can customize.
To use the standard function keys, hold the Fn (Function) key when pressing a function key. For example, pressing both Fn and F12 (speaker icon) performs the action assigned to the F12 key instead of raising the volume of your speakers.
If your keyboard doesn’t have an Fn key, try pressing and holding the Control key when pressing a function key.
Change the default function key behavior
If you want to change the top row of keys to work as standard function keys without holding the Fn key, follow these steps:

- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences.
- Click Keyboard.
- Select 'Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys'.

If you don't see 'Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys'
If you don't see 'Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys', you might be using a keyboard not made by Apple. These keyboards might need a utility to change the keyboard functions. Check with your keyboard manufacturer for more information.
