Little by little, any app worth its salt is adapting to the new Touch Bar. In the case of Spotify comes two months after the release of Apple's new Macbook Pro. Perhaps this delay in relation to other applications is due to the possible malware found in the application, as our colleague Ignacio Sala told us.
Today, Spotify is the leader in streaming music, with more than 40 million paying customers. The majority, around 20 million customers, are subscribed to the € 9,99 / month plan. Last month we learned about Apple actions to win customers to this platform, promoting with a 50% discount the registrations to the system by students.
In this way, Spotify now has buttons similar to those presented by iTunes in relation to the Touch Bar. From now on, we can use the typical instructions of any player, like: play, pause, forward, rewind, directly from the new Apple bar.
But not all the functions that the application provides us end there. The developers enable from the Touch Bar, the possibility of search songs y change play modeAs well as volume adjustment independently between application and system volume. Furthermore, it is not necessary for the application to be in the foreground, since it is possible to access the settings even when we are using another program, but we have Spotify running.
On the other hand, the holders of AirPods, you are also in luck with this update. Well, they incorporate the function auto-pause. Therefore, making the gesture of removing one of Apple's AirPod headphones will make the music stop. By placing them back on the ear, it will allow the music we are listening to resume.
