This guide is for Delphin Users.
We recommend that first-time users follow this help page step by step, from top to bottom.
First we will cover what you need to use Spotify on your Delphin, then we will cover first time setup, and finally we will provide troubleshooting resources.
While making any changes to your playlists or while downloading your music, you must be connected to a strong WiFi connection.
To start you will need a Spotify account. If you do not have one already, we recommend setting up an account on either your Computer or Phone. We also recommend creating your swimming playlists this way as well.
In order to listen to music in the pool, you will need a paid subscription to a Spotify account that allows offline listening: Either the $9.99/mo Individual, or one of the Duo, Family, or Student accounts will work. A free membership will not be able to play offline while swimming.
Your Delphin may present an option to download the Spotify app during the set-up process. Click on it to download.
Open the Help App in the menu, and then select ‘Install Apps’. Spotify should appear on the list of popular apps. Click on it to download.
(Tip: If you will be using Spotify frequently, we recommend adding it to the home screen of your Delphin for easy access. To add Spotify to your home screen, hold down on the icon you want to replace with the Spotify app on the home screen. Select Spotify from the list of apps that appears.
Open Spotify by clicking on the three white horizontal lines at the top left of your home screen and select the app. Depending on how you created your account, choose the Facebook, or 'Log In' option for email. Enter your username and password and submit.
Before you head to the pool, you will need to get your apps ready for offline use, as WiFi doesn't work in the water.
Turn on your sound and watch this short video to learn how the process is done in Spotify.
1. Open Spotify by clicking on the menu icon of your screen and selecting the app. Sign in to your account.
2. Go to your Favorites, which is located in the bottom-right corner, and select a playlist.
3. Download the playlist by pressing the download switch to the right of "Download"
4. Once your playlist is downloaded, test it out by playing it with your WiFi off. If your music plays while your WiFi is off, you're all set!
(Tip: You can turn your WiFi off by swiping down from the top of your screen 2 times. You will see a WiFi icon. Tap the WiFi icon to turn it off. Then, you can swipe that screen away by putting your finger at the bottom of your screen and swiping upward. You can also turn it off by navigating to the app menu, then Open System Settings > Network & internet > then toggling WiFi off at the top right.)
Here are some troubleshooting resources to help get you swimming with music!
Spotify also has great help videos and information. There are individual help pages to show you how to Create a Playlist, Download Music and Podcasts, and Search for songs, playlists, artists, and albums.
This link will take you to Spotify’s Support page if you need any other help, such as resetting your password, login details, or troubleshooting.
On your Delphin, open Spotify by clicking on the menu icon and selecting the app. You should see a menu on the bottom of the main screen. The far-right icon (which looks like a heart) will take you to your content. Choose ‘Playlists’ at the top of your screen. Tap the playlist you would like to remove. When the playlist has loaded, scroll down to where the "Downloaded" toggle is visible and tap the green toggle. The toggle will turn gray and the device will remove the download.
If you select ‘Delete Playlist’ this will delete the playlist from your entire account, not just the Delphin.
On the home screen of your Delphin, click the menu icon and scroll until you find your Spotify app. Hold down on the app until a new menu appears. Select 'Uninstall.' We recommend turning your Delphin off and back on again after uninstalling.
There are a few things that can cause this issue:
1. Make sure your playlists are downloaded onto your Delphin by following Step 3 above.
2. At least once a month, you will need to reconnect your Delphin to the internet to allow Spotify to verify that your account is active. This will still matter even if you use your Spotify account on your phone or computer. The Delphin Player has to be reconnected once a month to the internet so that Spotify can verify for billing purposes.
