What is Open Spotify Desktop App?
'Open Spotify Desktop App' is a Chrome extension designed to provide ease to Spotify users. It performs the simple, yet crucial, function of automatically launching the Spotify desktop app each time a Spotify link is clicked on your computer. Without this extension, navigating to Spotify's website and manually opening the app is necessary -- a process this extension efficiently eliminates. This adds to user convenience and a smoother music streaming experience.
