During a normal summer, most Spotify users would listen to music in many outdoor locations while on vacation. Hence the typical feeling that I could suppose listening to music with the sound of the waves or the bustle of a swimming pool in the background. Well now Spotify allows you to emulate this type of situation and play songs with sound effects from the beach, pool, etc. background..
This function is separate from the Spotify interface or the app for mobile devices, however you will still need to have a user account with which to log in. However, users will be able to choose one of the songs of the summer to which to apply the different filters available in the web tool. Once your combination is created, you can share it through social networks such as Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.
It should be noted that the web tool is only available in English although it is quite intuitive so it should not be an impediment for Spotify users.
