Spotify Lite: saving data reaches music


Spotify Lite: saving data reaches music



The application, which can be accessed with the same account as in the original version, weighs only 15 MB



Spotify fans are in luck. The application -whose main problem was the large consumption of mobile data- has decided to launch a new, lighter app to the market, which reduces the consumption of user data.

The new application, which is still in its beta version (development), is nothing more than a reduced version of what we can find in Spotify. Its great advantage is, without doubt, the saving of data , because it has the option of establishing a monthly limit of consumption by establishing amounts between 250 MB and 3 GB.

Another virtue of this new version is that it has a weight of only 15 MB, which allows a smaller storage space is needed to download the application, a great contrast with the original that has a size of 100 MB.

Spotify Lite has the Spotify originality certificate, so any user registered in the original application, both with a free subscription and with a Premium subscription (for a fee), can access the Lite version with the same account.

Limitations

The menus change, or rather -as the whole application- are reduced, while in Spotify any user has the windows Start, Explore, Search, Radio and Library, the Lite version only has the tabs Start, Explore and Favorites. Therefore, the new application does not allow you to create a playlist of your own, but it does facilitate access to recent playlists, songs marked as favorites or recommendations based on playback history.

The adjustments also change in this new format, while Spotify had the data saving options, the new version does not have this option, since it has integrated a reduction of them. Leave the audio quality options, because by default the new version will have quality audio dependent on the connection condition.

Another of the limitations that appear is that it does not allow listening to any song in a playlist , but has the only option to randomly play the entire list without being able to choose which song to start with. In addition to this, users who do not access through a Premium account can only spend six songs during one hour.

Currently the application can only be installed from Google Play in Brazil, while in Spain we will have to wait for its release or download the application from the Internet and install it to check if it is a success or users prefer to opt for the traditional version.

Year one post roaming

                               Year one post roaming What do you need to know in order not to overpay if you travel in Europe? Far is left when one stepped on Paris or Berlin and looked for places to connect to the wifi to share with friends the photos of the trip. It has been a year since the technology frontiers in Europe have fallen and now any citizen can use the mobile networks of any country in the Old Continent - including Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway - at no extra cost. Goodbye surprises at the time of arrival of the days of rest for an excess in the bill of the mobile. A measure that, with the value of technology today, has been almost as important as the 1992 Maastricht Treaty, which gave the green light to the free movement of people in the Schengen area. Like any rule, it had a small print that it still maintains . On the ...

Keys to the new government tax that big technology does not like

Keys to the new government tax that big technology does not like It is still unknown how much will be collected but the law will be processed "imminently", although some multinationals have already complained Amazon, Facebook, Google or Twitter have in common that their fundamental business is based on the sale of advertising 'online', in the intermediary activities of digital platforms or in the commercialization of data that is generated with information provided with the user. Therefore, these companies -among others- will pay in Spain the new tax on technological platforms promoted by the Montero cabinet. These are the three assumptions that the finance minister detailed as the bases on which the "imminent" rate for digital services would be based. Although he placed special emphasis on his first appearance before the Finance Committee in Congress where this newly created tax "will not affect SMEs or medium-sized companies", the...
