The instructions were very long and detailed. I’ve never used Spotify before and I feel comfortable using it. However, the instructions were very wordy. I would suggest shortening the steps or creating more steps to avoid overcrowding. Also, the figures are not labeled which leaves the reader guessing what image to look at when directed to "Figure 1." I also think the outline layout is a little distracting and I would recommend using bullets if needed. You do offer tips along the way which would help a new user, which is a plus. Furthermore, the video at the end supplements your instructions well. Overall, you created good instructions.
