Spotify’s Enhance button is a new feature that was added to the company’s app in version 1.12.0. It allows users to change the sound quality of their music, depending on their preferences. How does it work? The Enhance button is located on the main screen of the Spotify app, next to your playlists and albums. When you press it, a list of options will appear, including “Sound Quality,” “Master Volume,” and “Channel.” You can then choose one of these options, or set a custom value for each one. If you want to change the sound quality of all your music at once, you can do so by selecting “All Music” from the left-hand menu and pressing “Ensure Quality.” This will create a new playlist with all your changes applied. If you want to make changes only to some of your music, you can select individual tracks from the playlist and press “Ensure Quality” on them instead. How do I use it? The Enhance button is very easy to use; just hit it once and your music will be changed according to your preferences! To start using it, just open up Spotify and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the main screen: “Sound Quality,” “Master Volume,” and “Channel.”
Making your own playlists undoubtedly gives you the most control, but it’s not always easy to find the right songs to match the vibe you’re going for. You don’t want to use a pre-made playlist, but you need a little help. That’s where the “Enhance” button comes in.
What Does the Spotify “Enhance” Button Do?
As the name suggests, the “Enhance” button is a tool you can use to enhance playlists. You’ll find the “Enhance” button in the iPhone, iPad, and Android app on any of your personal playlists. It’s only available for Spotify Premium subscribers.
When you tap the button, a number of things happen. Spotify analyzes the music you’ve already added to the playlist and uses that information to insert its own recommended songs. You’ll see one recommended song after every two tracks.
The recommended songs are not automatically added to the playlist, you get the final say. If you like a song that Spotify has added you can tap “+” to permanently add it. When you turn off “Enhance,” those songs will remain in your playlist, while the other recommendations will be removed.
It’s essentially a way to beef up your playlists without having to do too much work. You set the vibe with your own music choices and then let Spotify take it to the next level.
