Change Default Music Player Mac To Spotify

Posted on by

Go to Spotify, don't play a song yet; Plug in your headphones then play a song; Now you lock your phone while the song is playing and now when you press the power button or the unlock button you should see the Spotify logo at the bottom left corner of the screen. At least that's how I did it for Apple Music and then back to Spotify.

Go wireless and play Spotify on Bluetooth supported devices such as speakers, headphones, and even your car.

You’ll need:

  • The Spotify app on a Bluetooth supported phone, tablet, or computer.
  • A Bluetooth supported audio device (such as a speaker, car, watch, headphones, etc).

Get started

Note: It's best to close Spotify while establishing a connection.

  1. On both devices, switch Bluetooth on.
  2. Pair the devices. Check your device’s user guide for step-by-step instructions.
  3. Open Spotify and play. The sound now comes from your chosen device.

If your Bluetooth connection isn’t working, make sure:

  • The devices are in range. We recommend they're within 1 meter (3ft) of each other.
  • Both devices have sufficient power.
  • You’re connected to the right device. You might need to disconnect any other devices.
  • You haven’t reached the maximum number of devices you can pair at any one time.
  • The connection allows media sharing. Look for this option in the Bluetooth settings of your phone, tablet, or computer.
  • You may need to select the device you’re pairing to as the default for your phone, tablet, or computer. Look for this option in the Bluetooth settings.
