News: Changes to Spotify’s free service.
Spotify is great for checking out a band you’ve been recommended or wanting to give a listen to for a while without having to pay for their music or pirate it.
However, their are changes coming in on May 1st that make affect people’s ability to use Spotify in the future.
The changes are as follows:
- New Spotify users will be able to enjoy our unrivalled free service as it is today for the first 6 months.
- As of May 1st, any user who signed up to the free service on or before November 1st 2010 will be able to play each track for free up to a total of 5 times. Users who signed up after the beginning of November will see these changes applied 6 months after the time they set up their Spotify account.
- Additionally, total listening time for free users will be limited to 10 hours per month after the first 6 months. That’s equivalent to around 200 tracks or 20 albums.
The changes will not affect anyone paying for Spotify Premium or Unlimited.
