Spotify Premium will now include Audiobooks
Today we’re starting an entirely new chapter for our audiobooks offering by making more than 150,000 audiobooks available as part of Spotify Premium subscriptions.
15 hours a month? The average audiobook is 8 to 12 hours. This is one of those "The first hit is free" kind of deals. I guess one free book a month is better than no free books a month.
I don't use Audible so this could be neat. It's not free though since you're still paying for Spotify Premium
When they first announced audiobooks I was so excited, only to realize I would have to buy individual books. Felt strange when the whole value proposition of Spotify is you don't have to buy every individual song you want to listen to. I guess sales of audiobooks were low enough they felt pressured to modify it somehow.
15 free hours a month is basically equivalent to audibles one book credit a month. Obviously I would prefer unlimited access to their whole audiobook library, but I feel like this is a decent compromise.
Might be nice, have to wait and see. For when ever they fell like releasing it over here. We got DJ a little while ago.
It does a bit piss me off that a Swedish company, put Sweden so far down the line of new features.
God I wish they'd stop. I just want music
