Spotify is a popular digital music streaming platform that allows users to access a vast library of songs, podcasts, and other audio content. With Spotify, users can listen to music on demand by streaming songs directly to their devices, such as smartphones, tablets, or computers. Spotify offers both free and premium subscription options. The free version is ad-supported and provides limited features, such as shuffle play and occasional audio ads. The premium subscription removes ads, allows unlimited skips, and provides additional features like offline playback, high-quality audio streaming, and the ability to select and play specific songs on-demand.

Use any Valid Email Address to create a Spotify Account, then activate a 30 day free trial. You do have to enter a payment method but it does not charge you till your trial is over. We suggest using the FAMILY PLAN FREE TRIAL it allows you to add 5 additional Spotify Accounts to your 'family' allowing all of them to have access to Spotify Premium Subscriptions.

If you have a PAYPAL Account you can get a 3 month free trial or you can also use your Outlook or Hotmail accounts to see if you qualify for a 3 month free trial thru Microsoft.

STreaming Guidelines for spotify

• Make sure to turn off AUTOPLAY (Home > Settings > Playback > Off).
• Listen to the FULL newly released Song or Album, then start using your focused playlists.​
• Like or '♡' each song as well as the album.
• Do NOT mute Spotify, muting your device or sound controls on PC is allowed, we recommend using headphones as well.
• Do NOT loop songs or playlists.
• Do NOT use a VPN or APK packs.
• DO NOT shuffle the playlist, it could play the focus songs back to back and be filtered out.
• When sleeping or passive streaming, queue playlists, meaning queue 3-4 shorter playlists instead of one 8-9 hour playlist.
• You can use 3-5 Spotify accounts at the same time, but don’t use the same account on multiple devices. Use different browsers, use cellular data instead of Wi-Fi, etc BUT NEVER USE A VPN. If you do use multiple accounts at the same time do not stream the same playlists simultaneously, use a different one for each account.
• You can use multiple browsers and multiple accounts on the same IP address, we suggest keeping it to a maximum of 6 accounts though considering that is how many accounts are on a family plan and it’s a reasonable assumption that Spotify will recognize up to that many accounts on an IP address legitimate. But do not stream the same playlists on all accounts simultaneously that is not something a family would do.
• When the playlist is over, DO NOT LOOP OR REPLAY THE SAME PLAYLIST. Use a new one, try to only use each playlist once a day. Grab a variety from Fanbases and STAYs.
• CHECK THAT ANY PLAYLISTS YOU USE FOLLOW ALL GUIDELINES BEFORE STREAMING!

Guidelines for playlist building

If you choose to make your own playlists instead of using one made by a Fanbase you need to be sure you set up the rotation to ensure your streams do NOT get filtered out, the following guidelines are used to make sure this does not happen and every stream counts.

• DO NOT CREATE 24 HOUR PLAYLISTS, 2-4 hour playlists are ideal. When streaming you can queue several shorter playlists & it counts as streams. Avoid creating 'overnight' playlists that are 8-9 hours.
• During Comeback be sure your playlists are Title Track Focused.
• Use 2-3 SKZ B-sides as fillers in between the Focused Track.​
• Use NON-KPOP Fillers every 12-14 songs, make it random, try to make sure your Playlist is not overtly repetitive or structured, avoid patterns. Avoid using songs that are competing on current charts as fillers. Generally, 1 Non-KPOP filler every hour of the playlist is suggested.

5 STAR Spotify Playlist Example with S CLASS as the Focused Track

• You can use ‘MIRROR MIRROR’, ‘JUST BREATHE’, ‘NO PROBLEM’, ‘RUSH REMIX’ & tracks from Seungmin & Changbin’s channels as Fillers.
• Do NOT use the same fillers in every Playlist, try to keep your fillers to shorter songs, the point is to get to the next SKZ song quickly without looking like a bot, so avoid using 4-5 minute songs, here is a playlist of fillers you can use that are under a minute provided by PROJECT STAY!
• Be sure to update your playlists at least once a month preferably more frequently, switch out the fillers, change out some of the SKZ Fillers.

CREATE A PLAYLIST- A STEP BY STEP GUIDE

EDITING A PLAYLIST ON SPOTIFY

​​​You can also edit your playlist by clicking on the three-dot menu icon next to the playlist's name. From there, you can rename the playlist, change the description, update the privacy settings, or delete the playlist if needed.

HOW DOES SPOTIFY COUNT STREAMS?

• ​Song stream: Counted when someone listens for 30 seconds or more
• Release stream count: All song streams from the release added up. If a song appears on multiple releases, it counts towards the stream count on every release.
• Downloaded Music & Streaming Offline: Spotify counts streams when the listener come back online & logs into Spotify, which must happen at least once every 30 days for the streams to be added.

LASTLY, ADDITIONAL WAYS TO BOOST STRAY KIDS EXPOSURE ON SPOTIFY & HELP THEM ON CHART

• Share the song or album directly from the platform, using the share option, post it to SNS Platforms, text it to friends and family etc, the more engagement it gets the better!​
• If the title track is added to a Curated playlist, you can stream it there too. Auto-Generated or Curated Playlists with Stray Kids Songs in them boost them on the platform so if you see one PLAY ONLY THE STRAY KIDS TRACK ON THAT PLAYLIST, to ensure you don't play other songs you can 'hide' any tracks on a curated playlist that is NOT Stray Kids, THEN GO BACK TO YOUR FOCUSED PLAYLISTS!
