Share codes for songs, artists, and playlists from Spotify

Spotify Codes launched on May 5, 2017 with 271 votes, #96 of 3,229 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 9 years on.

In plain words

Spotify Codes is a feature that lets users share scannable codes for songs, artists, and playlists directly from Spotify. The codes function similarly to QR codes and can be shared with others who can scan them to quickly access the shared content. It is designed for music fans who want an easy way to recommend and exchange music with friends and other users.
