Spotify has launched 'Codes' – an in app feature inspired by Snapchat's Snapcodes, which makes it easy to follow people on the app. But Spotify Codes are about quickly sharing music.“Now there’s a unique code for everything on Spotify. Scan a code on a friend’s phone and go to that song, artist or playlist,” The feature is rolling out to users globally.Beyond just sharing playlists Spotify Codes could be a boon to music in other ways. "While friends sharing playlists is certainly one use, the much more interesting aspect is what Spotify Codes could mean for artist marketing," suggests [Music Ally](http://musically.com/2017/05/05/spotify-codes-snapchat-snapcodes/?ref=hypebot.com)'s Stuart Dredge "Flyers, posters, billboards… perhaps even TV advertising – something that would take Spotify Codes into the territory traditionally occupied by Shazam."
