Making Music Louder on Mobile
Open Spotify. Tap the app icon that looks like sound waves on a green background. Only Premium subscribers can change this setting. If you have a free account, you won't see this setting. You can do this from the mobile app on any platform including Android, iPhone, and iPad.
Tap Android 7 Settings. This gear icon is in the top right of your screen and will open "Settings."
Change the volume level. The steps for this vary depending if you're using an iPhone or an Android. For iPhone, tap "Playback" first. You'll then see the volume level under the header "Volume Level" and can tap Loud to change it. For Android, scroll down to "Volume Level" and tap Normal to change it to Loud. Loud will reduce dynamic levels, but the songs will playback louder. It's useful if you're listening to your phone in the gym or somewhere else that's noisy. Normal is the default setting and what most people use. Quiet provides the cleanest playback when you're listening to music and is best utilized if you're chilling at home or in a quiet environment. Those using a free account only see the option to normalize the music. This setting balances the music so soft and loud songs are more uniform.

The slider to the far left represents the bass sounds and the controls on the right indicate the treble sounds. The middle bars control the midrange. You might alter playback in a way that you don't like, so know that you can always return to this page to change the settings. There's no built-in equalizer for Windows or Mac.
