It’s happened to all of us: We’re listening to our favorite track when, all of a sudden, the volume goes up unexpectedly when the next song begins to play. Saying this is an unpleasant experience for our eardrums would be an understatement, especially if we’re listening to Spotify with headphones. If you’re a premium subscriber, you can say goodbye to the days of sudden volume jumps and inconsistent audio levels thanks to Spotify’s audio normalization feature, which is designed to maintain a consistent playback volume across all tracks.
Follow these steps to use audio normalization on iOS:
- Open the Spotify app.
- Tap your profile picture.
- Tap Settings and privacy.
- Select Playback.
- Toggle Enable Audio Normalization to on.
Follow these steps to use audio normalization on Android:
- Open the Spotify app.
- Tap your profile picture.
- Tap Settings and privacy.
- Select Playback.
- Toggle Normalize volume to on.
Follow these steps to use audio normalization on the desktop app:
- Open the Spotify app.
- Click your profile picture and choose Settings.
- Scroll down to Audio quality and toggle Normalize volume to on.
From there, you can select your preferred volume normalization level: quiet, normal, or loud. As the name suggests, quiet is best for when you want to relax or in environments without much noise, like libraries, and loud is for noisy environments, like a crowded subway or in the gym, when you need an extra boost for that tough workout.
