HOOO-CHA! Become a Spotify ninja with TechRadar

Even though it’s still fairly basic in function, the Spotify client is choc-full of clever shortcuts and features that the casual user may never come across.

TechRadar has come up with this list of ten ways to become a Spotify ninja. We won’t list them all here (that’s a bit naughty), but here’s a couple of our favourites:

5. Draggable URLs

You probably already know that you can right click on Spotify playlists, tracks and albums to copy the HTTP link or Spotify URI to the clipboard. You can also drag and drop any Spotify link to the text box of another program; an email client, instant messager, URL shortener or Twitter window. The HTTP link is embedded – not the Spotify URI.

And…

7. Quicker playlist creation

So, you’ve found Spotify’s most popular tracks – now turn them into a playlist. CTRL and click on tracks to make multiple selections, then right-click to open the context sensitive menu and choose ‘Save to’ and ‘New Playlist’.

Now go on, read the rest.
