We've come up with 15 hidden features, ideas and add-ons that will help you make the most of Spotify.
1. Search modifiers
Search Spotify song using modifiers to restrict and refine your results. As an example, to search for Madonna's 1983 output you enter "madonna year:1982". You may also search for a range of years, like this: "rolling stones year:1965-1972". Other modifiers include "album", "artist" and "genre". These could be combined, For example: "album:love artist:cult" only finds tracks from The Cult's "Love". Finally, Boolean syntax can be used to exclude keywords, like this: "genre:trip-hop NOT morcheeba".

: Filter bands and tracks out of search results with the Boolean NOT operator - or try the minus sign "-".
2. Search by genre
Did you know you could use several different search phrases at the same time?
The different search terms available are; label, year, genre, artist, album and track.
For instance, the search string label:EMI year:0000-2007 genre:house gives you every house track published by EMI before the year of 2008.
3. Multiple versions
Many albums are in several versions with different edits - and Spotify might have multiple listings for the same collection of songs. When this occurs you can find a tiny arrow in the "Track" column of your outcomes. Just click it to view all the instances of that track showing with a different version of the album.

4. Link to section of a song
It firstly mentioned on the Spotify website, you could give good friends a song URI using a time index embedded in it. Copy the Spotify URI and paste it into your e-mail or NSN message window, then modify the URI to add '#time' to the end. E . g ., if the song includes a fantastic solo a #2:31, you append #2:31 to the end of the URI. You may also try this with HTTP links, but you will have to substitute the hash tag "#" with "#".
5. Draggable URLs
You may know that you could right click on Spotify playlists, songs and albums to copy the HTTP link or Spotify URI to the clipboard. It's also possible to drag-and-drop any Spotify url to the text box of some other application; an email application, instant messager(Bing, Gtalk), URL shortener or Myspace window. The HTTP url is inserted - not the Spotify URI.
6. Top Lists
Many fans jsut forget the "Top Lists" feature displays the most famous songs everywhere on the Spotify community, by default. You can shift the display to show top artists, albums and songs. In case you look in the top left corner - also you can change where Spotify receives its data. Select "Everywhere", the uk or another region where Spotify is live. Finally, choosing "For Me" shows your most often played songs since the list was last updated. This will happen once per week - however the feature is notoriously buggy.
