Spotify

This tweak puts a song counter at the top of each Spotify playlist

Spotify has long been one of my favorite media streaming apps – perhaps even more so than Apple’s native Apple Music platform. But one thing that has always managed to grind my gears is how the playlist interface doesn’t even so much as display the number of songs you’ve added to it.

Fortunately, a solution for this problem now exists in the form of a newly released and free jailbreak tweak subbed SpotifyPlaylistNumberOfSongs by iOS developer Aleksilassila.

SongShare generates multi-platform links for music sharing

Music enriches our lives, both in terms of entertainment and as an emotional and spiritual release. With that in mind, it may come as no surprise that people often share songs with others. But this can become somewhat challenging when you learn that your friends are using entirely different music streaming platforms than you are.

It may seem like a trifling matter, but it really can be rather annoying when I trying to share a Spotify song link with a friend who uses Apple Music or another platform. Obviously, they won’t be able to use my link since they’re subscribed to a different service, and that’s where a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed SongShare by iOS developer Jeff Rescignano comes into play.

NowPlayingIcon replaces the Music icon with Now Playing media artwork

Jailbreakers who are looking for a quick and easy way to integrate some spice into their handset’s native music listening experience will do good to check out a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called NowPlayingIcon by iOS developer LacertosusDeus.

Just as the tweak’s name implies, NowPlayingIcon replaces the app icon of your Now Playing app with the album artwork of whatever media you have playing at any given time.
