With Spotify, you can access over 50 million songs and over 700,000 podcasts. But when you share your favorite song, album, artist or playlist with your friends, what will you do? You may be familiar with Spotify's method of sharing songs on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter with album artwork. Or copy the song URL and send the Spotify link to your friends to share.
However, Spotify provides more options for users to share their songs and favorites. This involves using a Spotify URI, which will take you directly to the Spotify app to play. In this article, I will introduce you to what a Spotify URI is, how to get it, and how to use it. And at the end, I will also show you how to download and convert Spotify URIs to MP3.
What is a Spotify URI?
URI, short for Uniform Resource Identifier, is a character string that identifies a certain type of resource. Different from the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) which is more commonly used to access a web page, the URI will direct you to the specific application or client on your device rather than to an internet domain. And by clicking on a Spotify URI, you will be taken directly to the Spotify client on your computer without going through the web page first.
How to get Spotify URI?
It's easy to find and get the Spotify URI with the Spotify client. To find the Spotify URI, simply perform the following steps on your computer.
1. Open the Spotify app on your desktop, then select the song, album, artist, playlist or podcast you want to share.
2. Move your mouse over the title, then right-click it.
3. Click Share and select Copy Spotify Link. Now you have the Spotify URI copied to your clipboard.
Can I get the Spotify URI on the mobile app?
Unfortunately, this option does not exist in the Spotify mobile app. But you can go to spotifycodes.com and enter the Spotify URI. The website will generate a Spotify URI code. You can then use the Spotify mobile app to scan the code, and you will be taken to the song page.
How to use Spotify URI?
A Spotify URI looks like Spotify:track:1Qq7Tq8zZHuelGv9LQE2Yy . To use it, simply paste the link into your Internet browser's address box or Spotify's search box.
In the Spotify app, you will be directed to the source by entering the Spotify URI. However, when you enter the Spotify URI in the Internet browser, a prompt will appear asking you to open the Spotify application. Then just click Open Spotify, and you will be taken to the source.
