HOW SPOTIFY AND INSTAGRAM’S NEW FEATURES CAN SUPERCHARGE DANCE MUSIC DISCOVERY
In today’s high velocity digital music scene, visibility is everything. The newly enhanced Spotify and Instagram integrations are giving dance music creators and fans a powerful way to turn discovery into dancefloor fame.
Elevated Integration: Audio Enabled Stories and Real Time Music Notes
Audio Previews in Instagram Stories
Silent story shares are now a thing of the past. When you post from Spotify to Instagram Stories, your followers not only see the track artwork, they also hear a 15 second audio preview inside the Story. A quick tap on the music sticker takes them directly to the full song on Spotify, making music discovery effortless.
Real Time Music Sharing via Instagram Notes
Your song is not just heard, it is felt in the moment. By tapping the music icon while creating an Instagram Note, your friends instantly see and react to the track you are playing. If Spotify is not already active, the Note updates to reflect the next song played within 30 minutes. Sharing to Notes is as simple as tapping Share from Spotify in the Now Playing screen.
