So, you no longer need to fish out a link and send it to your friend over social media apps, which then opens in the browser and deep links to Spotify. In the same way, you can share music albums and artists with your friends with that ease. They just need to scan the Code to stream into the song instantly. All you need to do is-share the Spotify Code with your friends. If you like a song on Spotify and want your friends to enjoy it too, you can share it instantly.

Here is how Spotify Codes make the music world more engaging: 1. Spotify Codes are a visual reminder around the web of how one can listen to on-demand music easily. Now let’s move ahead to show how you can use Spotify Codes. Here’s a sneak peek on how Spotify Codes works: Similar to Snapchat QR Codes (SnapCodes), they are scannable images, which make sharing music easier. The Code has a Spotify logo in the front, which makes it easy for in-app scanner to identify and scan it. You can either directly download it from your app or create one on your own. Spotify Codes can be generated in any color. They are scannable ‘tags’, which look like soundwave-stylized codes. Spotify Codes are unique barcodes, which are created for every song, album, and artist in the Spotify app.

Heck, anything that makes sharing obscure indie songs and deep house tracks simpler is sure to get some use.5. You don't have to wait to use the new Spotify codes, though. Snapchat, of course, has a similar system that lets potential chatters grab each other's contact details with a simple photo of their Snapcode, which looks more like an old-school QR code than the Spotify one does. The captured song will start playing right away. To grab the track, your friend just needs to tap the camera icon to the right of the Search bar in their Spotify app and aim their phone at your screen. Hit Share and you'll see the code (which looks like an audio waveform) just under the album image at the top of your screen. To pull up a Spotify Code, you just toggle the Share function with a tap on the three dots to the right of your screen when playing a song. We've confirmed the new feature in the Spotify app, though there's been no official word yet.

It looks like Spotify knows this, too, as it's rolling out a new feature to use Snapchat-style codes that will let you grab a photo of your friend's screen to grab the song they want to share with you. Sharing songs with your buddies while on the go has typically been a hassle, with weird Shazam-style workarounds to get a song from one phone to another.
