Why is Discord Much better with Spotify?

Connecting your Spotify account to your Discord opens up options that add the element of music to whatever you use the Discord app for. Let’s discuss the ways in how Spotify makes your Discord experience better.

1. Share your Music with your Community

Discord’s new feature of connecting your Discord account to other social media apps like Spotify allows your current Spotify playlist to be visible to people in your Discord group. You will also be able to see your friends’ playlists and add whatever songs you like from their playlists to yours.

2. Add a Soundtrack to Your Podcast

People listen to podcasts on Discord to hear about what a podcast host has to say about a particular topic. But as everybody would agree, everything is better experienced with a little music. By connecting your Spotify to your Discord, you can start a podcast with a soundtrack to help in creating an atmosphere that listeners and podcast speakers can enjoy. Scoring your podcast with your Spotify music also helps in branding your podcast. A signature song or tune will work wonders for letting your podcast have a signature sound and this will help greatly in garnering viewers for your podcast.

3. Grow Your Spotify with Discord

Your Spotify growth heavily depends on the exposure your playlist gets with potential listeners. By connecting your Spotify to your Discord Groups, you immediately widen your playlists’ reach. Maybe ask your Discord friends to listen to your playlists and share them on other social media platforms to add to the number of listens your playlists get.
