Spotify Now Available on Quest: Enjoy Background Music Playback

Alright, so picture this: You’re wrapped up in your virtual world, maybe trying out a new game or just, I don’t know, wandering around aimlessly. And guess what? Now you’ve got Spotify tagging along like an eager puppy. Yep, Spotify’s got a shiny new web app for Quest. Wild, right?

Here’s the kicker: it’s not your typical app. Nope. It’s what smart folks call a progressive web app. Basically, it kinda just opens up its own little browser window. (Tech wizards, am I right?) So yeah, you won’t get to vibe offline like you would on your phone. But hey, you won’t have to do that awkward dance of opening a browser, typing in your password, and hoping it remembered it since last Tuesday.

Random side note: I once forgot my own password and got locked out for a week. Good times.

And okay, the Spotify setup lets you do all the usual music stuff. You can totally minimize it, let tunes play in the background, or blow it up full screen to watch video podcasts, read lyrics in real-time, stalk your favorite artists — the whole shebang. It’s kinda like having a DJ that gets you. If that’s not cool, I don’t know what is.

Oh! And if you’re wondering about the cost (because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t think about costs?), it’s free. Well, assuming you’re already using Spotify. Whether you’re keeping it low-key with a free account or going all out with premium, you’re covered. Find the thing on the Horizon Store, as long as you’ve got Quest 2 or later.

Wait, where was I going with this? Anyway, virtual adventures with a killer soundtrack? Count me in!
