Spotify wants you to listen to as much music as possible during the dog days of summer. That’s why the music subscription service announced Super Summer of Music.

If you pay $10 before June 15, you will get three months of Spotify Premium. Premium brings several differences over the free version of Spotify, such as increased sound quality, the ability to save songs for offline listening, and no ads.

This promotion adds yet another note to the interesting last couple of weeks the company has had. In positive news, Spotify recently reached the 10 million paid subscriber mark, and while there are 40 million active users of the service, the company would like to have most of them as paid subscribers. In addition, Spotify made it easier to save your music for offline listening.

Unfortunately, a Spotify user’s account was compromised, leading Spotify to alert its users to change their passwords. In addition, the company issued an updated version of the Spotify app for Android, with no such update issued for iOS and Windows Phone.

What is spatial audio? The 3D sound experience fully explained

Person listening to spatial audio using Apple AirPods Max headphones.

Since Apple added “spatial audio” to the Apple Music streaming service and the AirPods family of wireless earbuds and headphones in 2021, it feels like you can’t read about new audio products or services without running into that term. And just a few short years later, it’s seemingly everywhere.

This has led to a lot of misconceptions about what spatial audio is, how it works, and why you need to hear it for yourself. People often ask, “If Apple created spatial audio, why are other companies claiming they do it, too?” The answer is that Apple didn’t create it, and you certainly don’t need to own its products to experience spatial audio.

How to download music from SoundCloud on desktop and mobile

Soundcloud Interface on a Macbook.

If you’re a huge music fan, you’ve probably combed through the many playlists, artists, and albums of your Spotify or Apple Music subscription. But what about all the indie artists of the world? Some music-streaming platforms are better than others at celebrating the
‘unsung gem’ acts, but one of the most reliable forums for new, off-the-grid tunes is SoundCloud.

Founded in 2007, SoundCloud has always prioritized music that’s a bit under the radar. With over 320 million tracks in its library, the platform will even let you download a majority of its songs and albums.

The best kids headphones of 2024: for fun, safety, and sound

Two kids using the Puro Sound PuroQuiet Plus to watch something on a tablet.

Kid-friendly consumer tech is all the rage these days, so it’s no surprise that there’s an entire market of headphones designed exclusively for young ones. But when we think “kid-friendly,” sometimes we imagine products that are built to be a bit more throwaway than their adult counterparts. That’s not the case with the products on our list of the best headphones for kids, though.

We want our child-tailored headphones to include parental-controlled volume limiters, to ensure our children aren’t harming their eardrums. Pretty much every entry on our list checks this vital box, but we also wanted to point you and yours toward products that offer exceptional noise-canceling, built-in mics for phone and video calls, and long-lasting batteries for schooldays or a long flight.
