How to adjust base volume in Spotify<\/h2>\n

Volume is pretty easy to figure out, but did you know Spotify lets you adjust the base volume of the app depending on your environment?<\/p>\n

Here’s how to adjust the base volume on your iPhone:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Open the Spotify app.
2.<\/strong> Tap the gear icon in the top right corner of your screen.
3.<\/strong> Tap the Playback<\/strong> option near the top of the menu.
4.<\/strong> Scroll down until you see Volume level.
5.<\/strong> Beneath Volume level <\/strong>there are three options: Loud<\/strong>, Normal<\/strong> and Quiet<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you’re in the library working on an essay, Quiet<\/strong> might be best, and if you’re getting a good sweat in at the gym, you might want Loud<\/strong>. Tap whichever volume level you think is best, but Spotify warns that the audio quality might diminish if you pick Loud<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you’re using the Spotify app on a Mac, the process has a few extra steps. Here’s how to adjust the base volume on your Mac:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Open Spotify.
2.<\/strong> Click Spotify<\/strong> in the menu bar across the top of your screen.
3.<\/strong> Select Preferences<\/strong>.
4.<\/strong> Scroll down until you see Audio Quality<\/strong>.
5.<\/strong> Under Audio Quality<\/strong>, you should see Volume level<\/strong>.\u00a0
6.<\/strong> Click the drop-down bar to the right of Volume level<\/strong>.
7.<\/strong> From here, you see the same Loud<\/strong>, Normal<\/strong>\u00a0and Quiet<\/strong> options. Pick whichever one works for you.<\/p>\n

Use the equalizer to customize your sound for your favorite genres.<\/p>\n

How to adjust your Spotify Equalizer<\/h2>\n

If you prefer being more hands-on with how your bass and treble come across in each song, you can adjust the in-app equalizer, or choose one of a handful of premade genre-based options.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s how to adjust the equalizer on your iPhone:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Open Spotify.
2. <\/strong>Tap the gear in the top right corner to access the Settings<\/strong> menu.
3. <\/strong>Tap the Playback<\/strong> option.\u00a0
4. <\/strong>Scroll down the menu and tap Equalizer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This opens the equalizer page where you can find the manual equalizer slider and the genre-based equalizers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Across the top of the screen is the manual equalizer slider. It looks like a line graph with six dots near the top of your iPhone screen. When you first get here the equalizer should be flat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Each dot on the graph can be adjusted for more or less sound. The far left bar represents your bass, the far right bar controls your treble and the middle bars control — you guessed it — your midrange. You can tweak the bars as you see fit.<\/p>\n

Below the manual equalizer are the genre-based equalizers. You can pick which genre you’re listening to and the app automatically adjusts the sliders to optimize for that style of music. After picking one, you can further adjust the sliders for the perfect listening experience.<\/p>\n

If you want to reset the equalizer, there’s a genre-based equalizer called Flat<\/strong>. This will reset the equalizer to its default.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the Mac version of Spotify doesn’t have an in-application equalizer. But you can search for an equalizer application<\/span> to help you in your journey to find the best sound.<\/p>\n

How to adjust streaming quality in Spotify<\/h2>\n

You can also adjust the audio quality of your music. This is handy if you’re using mobile data and don’t want to bump up your phone bill. Reducing the audio quality will use less data.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s how to change the audio quality on your iPhone:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Open the Spotify app.
2.<\/strong> Tap the gear to open Settings<\/strong>.
3. <\/strong>Scroll down and tap Audio Quality<\/strong>.
4. <\/strong>Under WiFi streaming<\/strong> and Cellular<\/strong> streaming<\/strong>, you can select Low<\/strong>, Normal<\/strong>, High<\/strong> or Automatic<\/strong>. The Automatic<\/strong> option adjusts the audio quality to whatever your signal strength is. There is also a fifth option for paid subscribers called Very high<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How to change the audio quality on your Mac:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Open Spotify.
2. <\/strong>Click Spotify<\/strong> in the toolbar across the top of your screen.
3. <\/strong>Select Preferences<\/strong>.
4. <\/strong>Scroll down to Audio Quality<\/strong>.
5. <\/strong>Beneath Audio Quality<\/strong> you should see Streaming quality<\/strong>. Click the drop-down menu to the right.
6. <\/strong>Choose between Low<\/strong>, Normal<\/strong>, High<\/strong> or Automatic<\/strong> options, and the Very high<\/strong> option for paid subscribers.<\/p>\n
