The Home section offers a bog-standard landing page for any service like Spotify.

And that’s about it for navigation-let’s have a look at what you’ll run into in each section. Beneath that, you can scroll through the various parts of the Your Library and Your playlists sections. Three main navigation options sit on the left-Home, Browse, and Radio. In the desktop app, everything is laid out plainly. Highly recommended.Given how much content it offers, using Spotify is remarkably straightforward. The Mighty Vibe is like the iPod evolved-a Bluetooth-enabled, portable music player that lets you take your online tunes offline. Who would have thought that, after years making sure we're never disconnected, we'd pine for the days of single-purpose tech, but here we are. If you're looking to minimize distractions and the gear you carry with you on the go, and you have a Spotify Premium account, there's little reason not to grab one. Especially if you're going out for a long run (Mighty Vibe is water and drop resistant), it could mean the difference between training frustration and workout zen.

But when what you get is five hours of uninterrupted music on the go, without interruptions from calls or notifications, the price doesn't seem all that bad. But these things are fleeting and don't detract from the delightfully disconnected experience.Īt around $80 ( Amazon usually has it for less), it's a leap of faith. And if you need to do any data management on the go, you'll need your phone and a Wi-Fi network. If you have lots of playlists, it can get a little tedious switching between them (especially since the robotic voice that announces each one is cringe-inducing). Selecting an exact song can take a bit of work, since you have to click through your playlist to find it. The limited interface does have the occasional drawback, however. It's a simple thing to find the buttons to raise or lower the volume, play or pause your music, or skip tracks. That simplicity makes it a joy to use, especially when working out.
