Spotify might be unbeatable when it comes to collection of music but it lacks advanced features of a music player. Sometime back we showed you how you can integrate equalizer to Spotify for better sound output from your speakers and we will take it from there today, and enhance Spotify a bit more by incorporating
Using the desktop notifications and global

Toastify for Windows
Toastify comes as a 32-bit installer but can be installed on 64-bit computers as well. The installation is very simple and after you have successfully installed the tool, run it using the shortcut created on the desktop or in the Start Menu. Make sure Spotify is running prior to launching Toastify. The tool will start minimized in the System Tray (the bottom right corner of the desktop). To start configuring the tool, right-click on the Toastify icon in the System Tray and click on the Settings option.
There are three sets of settings in Toastify. The first one – General Settings – takes care of the Toastify behavior with respect to Spotify and Windows. Here you can configure if Toastify should start automatically with Windows and should it launch Spotify when initiated. One thing I liked here is Clipboard Template. Using it you can easily paste the current song you are listening to on any application using a global
Toastify Appearance
The second setting Toast lets you configure the small notification window that appears just above the System Tray whenever Spotify changes the track. In the Toast settings you can control the appearance of the notification box like the fade out time, color, thickness and the overall dimensions.
You can also reduce the toast transparency using the three sliders next to the top, bottom and border color and manage the transparency of each of these elements individually.
Toastify Keyboard Shortcuts For Spotify
Finally the keyboard shortcuts. In the Hotkeys settings you can simply enable or disable the global
- Ctrl +
Alt + Up = Play/Pause - Ctrl +
Alt + Down = Stop - Ctrl +
Alt + Right = Next track - Ctrl +
Alt + Left = Previous track - Ctrl +
Alt + M = Mute on/off - Ctrl +
Alt + Page Up = Volume up - Ctrl +
Alt + Page Down = Volume down - Ctrl +
Alt + Space = Show toast - Ctrl +
Alt + S = Show Spotify - Ctrl +
Alt + C = Copy track information to clipboard - If any of these conflict with an existing global
hotkey configured on your computer, Toastify will show you a yellow underline right under the checkbox of the conflicting hotkey. You will then have to change it by either replacing the modifier or the literal key. The Copy Track Information hotkey is the one that can be used to quickly copy the now playing track information on any application as we discussed under the General settings.
Conclusion
So go ahead and try out Toastify. I am sure you will love the idea of better management of tracks playing in Spotify without leaving the application you are currently working on.

Position windows on your screen E.g. Windows + [Left] moves the current window to the left half of your screen. If you use Windows + [Up] afterwards, the current window will be placed in the upper left quarter of your screen. And, what’s very handy in my opinion: If you release the Windows key after positioning a window, Task View shows up on the opposite side of the positioned window to select and position another app. |
Share content (if supported by current app) |
Connect to wireless displays and audio devices |
Open Start button context menu |
Opens the Windows 10 Game Bar to take game screenshots and record gaming videos of Windows 10 games (works in any game app, e.g. Microsoft Solitaire Collection) |
Show Windows desktop |
Open Windows Explorer |
Switch keyboard input language (if you have added at least a second one) |
Move current Window from one monitor to another (when using a multiple monitor setup) |
Open programs that are pinned to task bar E.g. if first pinned program on your task bar is Windows Explorer (from left to right), the shortcut Windows + 1 opens Windows Explorer for you. |
Run a command |
Project a screen |
Switch to previous window |
Restore, move, size, minimize, maximize or close current window. Also works like a charm for Windows 10 modern apps. |
