Triggering the Easter egg is pretty simple: pull up your Spotify account on either the browser or app, start the Stranger Things soundtrack for either season, and let it play. Wait a few seconds. It seems Spotify can't handle adding lots of music at once to a playlist, all is fine and dandy on the desktop app but somehow the mobile app does not sync the files equally. For example my favorites (starred) playlist has 0 tracks in while the mobile app show about 990, another playlist on the desktop has about 5700 while on the mobile app it.
Spotify has a range of audio quality options to suit your device, plan, and preferences.
