Should You Use the Spotify Web Player or Desktop app? Some of the things are just arranged in slightly different places on the screen, but you should have no problem using it if you’ve ever used a Spotify app. Once you’re in, you’ll see that all of the interfaces in the web player are almost identical to the app.

You just go to, login, and press the large “open web player” button in the middle of the screen. Spotify web player is very simple to use. You can access all your liked and saved songs and playlists, listen to all the music and podcasts, and more.

It’s essentially a website, which, once you’ve logged in, allows you to use all the features as the app has. The web player is a way to listen to Spotify wherever you are, without the need to download the app.

Can you use the Spotify web player on your phone?.

The difference in features between Spotify Web Player and Desktop App.

Should You Use the Spotify Web Player or Desktop app?.

This could work on iOS as well, but I have neither tested it nor do I have any interest in doing so.

If you don’t hear any sound, don’t forget to check your current playback device (the PC icon in the lower right corner). My friend was able to use it from his Galaxy S6 as well.

Go into its configuration (Addons -> uBlock Origin -> Options)Īfter all those configurations, I was able to successfully use the Spotify Web Player from my OnePlus 3T Android device.

Adding a block rule to uBlock Origin seemed to fix that. But I had a lot of Firefox crashes while testing, this setup. In theory this should suffice to let you use Spotifys Web Player. I chose a recent Firefox Version (Firefox 63.0) with Windows 7, just because it’s most likely one of the most used User-Agents.

Select a nice User-Agent from the list.

Select “User-Agent Switcher and Manager” from the 3-dot menu.

Install the already mentioned User-Agent Switcher and Manager Addon in Firefox Nightly.

Therefore we need to change the User-Agent string Firefox sends to Spotify. As your browser “admits” it’s running on an Android device, you will still be redirected to the “Download the App, hurr durr!”-site. Spotify Web also checks your User-Agent string. Therefore I welcomed the challenge of convincing Spotifys Web player to work on Android. Especially the differentiation between PC and mobile browsers triggered me. If you can’t sell your Premium Account with a feature list, you should probably work on the list instead of artificially limiting the features on different devices. While I understand that Spotify wants to earn money, I heavily dislike the artificial limitations to push people to a paying account. To push their Premium Account to you, Spotify additionally prevents mobile browsers from using their less limited Web player. I’m not using it a lot, but if I understood correctly, you can’t properly play a playlist or one song, you get force fed “matching” songs. If you are like me and don’t use Spotify on mobile very often, you might not know that the free version of the Spotify app is heavily castrated.

So please read the comments as well until I found the time to test new ways and to update the post.Ī friend of mine asked me if it was possible to use the Spotify Web Player on his Android smartphone.

Update September 2020: While these exact instructions don’t work anymore, there are solutions in the comments.
