Music is a cure for some people. Like me, many can’t even pass a day without listening to music.
And Spotify is a music platform that helps music lovers by creating a bridge to close the gap with more than 80 million songs in its library but searching for specific types of songs is tough when the library is enormous. It can make you feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.
In these situations, you can turn On the Autoplay from Settings, but whether you are here to find similar types of music or just want to turn the Autoplay off to enjoy one music.
Keep reading my post. In it, I will show you how to turn Autoplay On or Off and give you some neat bits of Spotify.
So without further ado, let’s get going!
Quickly check our epic post on how to turn on canvas Spotify.
Why Should You Turn Autoplay On/Off In Spotify?
There are not many reasons you should turn it On or Off, except turning it On will allow you to listen to or find similar songs, and turning it Off will do quite the opposite. However, You can optimize this option and use it as a better version of a music search engine.
The autoplay feature starts playing music similar to the album, playlist, or songs you started to listen to. Meaning Spotify will play songs from the same genre at the end of the already-playing song.
As a music enthusiast, I search for music that is new to my ear. Like me, many music enjoyers keep Autoplay On to search for a precise type of music or genre.
However, remember, enabling the Autoplay can be a double edge sword.
For example, Last night, while playing Minecraft, I put on Die For You by Joji, and my main intention was to stop Spotify after it finished, but a mob attacked me. In this situation neither, I was able to quit Spotify nor pause the game, so Spotify started to play another song which didn’t help me in Minecraft.
If you want Spotify to stop right after playing a searched song, then you have to turn Off the Autoplay.
