You’ll never get strange looks from your friends again.

For times when you feel like crooning in your home, you can turn your Spotify into a karaoke. Simply download the SoundHound app, link to your Spotify account, queue the songs you want to sing along to and just follow the lyrics as they’re highlighted in orange.

More than just a music app, you can actually learn on Spotify. You can learn a new language just by searching the keywords “Learn Language.” You can find audio courses in Spanish, French, Swedish, Russian and more on the site.

8. Impress a Date with Your Musical Taste
Give your potential date a peek of your musical taste by linking your Tinder profile to your Spotify. Do this by going to the Edit Info section of your Tinder app. Once there, you’ll have the option to pick out your “Anthem” and share some of your favorite musicians.
